![]() In some cases, this really is simply my belief. However, even though I don’t believe that Street Atlas can do anything BaseCamp can not, I do believe there are things that Street Atlas does better or more conveniently. ![]() BaseCamp can communicate with Garmin devices while Street Atlas cannot so the choice of which to keep is obvious. As I’ve written before, there is considerable overlap between Street Atlas and Garmin’s BaseCamp and it would make no sense for one company to maintain both products. I did an earlier than planned update and purchased the 2015 version so I could have the latest possible. This first post with DeLorme in the title will also be the last. In early 2016 Garmin closed a deal to acquire DeLorme and all Street Atlas development was stopped. 2016 was to be my next planned update but plans changed. I more or less fell into biennial mode and upgraded just every other year. There were a few more numbered revisions and a misstep into a Road Warrior version before the numeric year was used in the product name and a string of annual releases began. The reason, I suppose, is the old story of taking something for granted until you lose it. I’ve talked about it in a few posts but was surprised to see that it has never been the primary focus of a post. DeLorme Street Atlas is one of my oldest tools.
