DeLorme announces Version 2.0 of Street Atlas USA for Windows: including
direct printing and completely updated database

FREEPORT, Maine; June 20, 1994--DeLorme Mapping has just released Version
2.0 of its enormously popular CD-ROM title Street Atlas USA. The new
version includes a direct printing function as well as a completely
revised database of every street in the entire United States.

Street Atlas USA is a comprehensive road map of the whole country, which
allows users to zoom in on any place--city, town, or rural area--and find
any street.

Street Atlas USA was launched in October 1991. It has been the best-selling
CD-ROM title in the country and has been on the list of the 10
best-selling CD-ROMs every month for more than a year--a record no other
title has matched.

The database in Street Atlas USA 2.0 has been completely updated to include
tens of thousands of new roads built since the program first appeared. A
staff of more than 50 computer mapping technicians has been at work for
over a year updating and refining the Street Atlas USA database. In the
process, it has grown from 480 MB to 646 MB, taking complete advantage of
the CD-ROM medium.

The database now contains more than 12 million street segments and 1.1
million geographic and man-made features. Maps include city and town
names; highway, street, and road names; railroads; mountains, rivers,
lakes, and streams; and many prominent buildings and monuments.

If you printed out all of Street Atlas USA at the highest level of
magnification, the finished map would cover more than 10 football fields.

The maps themselves have been enhanced to make them more appealing and more
useful. The maps now delineate urban areas and population centers, and
display elevation contours to give users a sense for the lay of the land.
At any time, users can call up a map legend for a key to the elements they
are viewing on the screen.

In addition, Version 2.0 presents greater detail at lower levels of
magnification. These enhancements to the road network will make it easier
for users to visualize appropriate routes between various destinations.

There have also been significant refinements to the application software.

Users will appreciate the new direct-printing function, which allows them
to print maps at a variety of scales from within the program. They can
print high-quality maps in color or black & white, on any
Windows-supported printer.

Version 2.0 of Street Atlas USA also gives users more flexibility in
customizing the user interface. They may select the standard Street Atlas
USA user interface, which includes a main map screen, a small overview
map, and a push-button control panel. Or they may choose a standard
Windows interface, with the function buttons displayed on a ribbon at the
top of the screen, thereby increasing the size of the main map display.
The overview map and legend can be resized, moved, and turned on or off.

The new version retains the ease-of-use that has made the program popular
among CDROM enthusiasts. Users type in the name of a city and state,
telephone area code and exchange, or zip code to zoom in on any area of
the country. They can then search for any street within the map they're
viewing. In larger metropolitan areas, Street Atlas USA displays block
address ranges.

The retail price of Street Atlas USA remains unchanged for Version 2.0, at
$169.

Registered users of Street Atlas USA can upgrade to the new version for $49
by calling DeLorme at 1-800-452-5931. Users who purchased after August 16,
1993 will receive an upgrade for free.

Street Atlas USA comes on a single CD-ROM, and requires an IBM-compatible
386 PC, CD-ROM drive, VGA graphics display, mouse, 2 MB of RAM, 3 MB of
free hard-disk space, MS-DOS 4.01 or higher, and Windows 3.1.

There is also a Macintosh version of Street Atlas USA.
