What a bizarre thing to say, why do you think the map software makers
don't use DVDs?

I have used DeLorme for years and it has always been spot on, even used
it to navigate around Maui 18 months ago.

But getting voice directions is priceless, e.g., "bear right at exit 6
in 1.5 miles, coming up in 2 minutes", "bear right onto the I-80 and go
34 miles to exit 11", stuff like that.

YMMV, of course.
