Rand McNally Road Atlas

Mon Aug 22, 2005 - 2:00 PM EDT - By James Hromadka

Conclusion

Rand McNally Road Atlas is a basic mapping program that provides basic highway, exit, and attraction information. The About screen indicates mapping information is from 2002, and given its graphics, I doubt Road Atlas has changed any since then. The reset-loop bug is a serious issue and makes this program impossible to recommend. You're better off buying the paper version for less than half the price. One of the worst items I have ever reviewed, and I have reviewed some stinkers.
