Street Atlas USA holds steady at the top of the CD-ROM market

Three years after its initial release, Street Atlas USA remains at the top
of the CD-ROM market. The program has been the best-selling CD-ROM title
in the country, spent more than 18 months on the list of top- 10 CD-ROMs,
and - in a market flooded by thousands of new titles remains on the top-10
list of personal productivity software.

Street Atlas USA is a comprehensive road map of the whole country on one
CD-ROM. The program is the only one on the market that allows users to
zoom in on any place - city, town, or rural area - and find virtually any
street anywhere in the United States.

Street Atlas USA is available for both Windows and Macintosh. The product
is widely available in retail stores and software catalogs. Street Atlas
USA does not carry a suggested retail price; its average street price is
$79.

Street Atlas USA continues to win accolades and awards. In October, 1993,
Street Atlas USA was included in MacUser's list of the 50 best CD-ROMs and
PC Magazine's list of the 100 best CD-ROMs. The product was named best
travel or geography program by the readers of MultiMedia World in both
1993 and 1994, and was a finalist in the Software Publishers Association's
Excellence in Software Awards in the Best Consumer Program and the Best
Personal Productivity Program categories.

The database in Street Atlas USA 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. The database includes 646 MB of mapping information, taking
complete advantage of the CD-ROM medium.
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 delineate urban areas and population centers, and display
elevation contours to give users a sense for the lay of the land. Users
can print maps directly from within the program, or can export maps to the
Apple clipboard to paste into graphics programs or other applications.
They can print high-quality maps in color or black & white, on any
Windows-supported printer.

Street Atlas USA is extremely easy to use. 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.
