XMap

Great program, but unsupported

Kommentare: We had success working with maps on XMAP, however it's now time to move on.

Vorteile:

XMap is part of a modular family(XMap GIS Enterprise, XMap GIS Editor, and XMap Professional) which is consistent, robust and very easy to use.

Nachteile:

Sadly it's been acquired by Garmin that discountined it, so with age it's more and more difficult to integrate the XMap ecosystem with newer stuff(windows 10, newer map formats..)

The best program yet.

Kommentare: A definite life saver overall.

Vorteile:

This GPS program is the best because it literally can find any place I want to travel!

Nachteile:

Rerouting is the only inconvenient problem. It consumes time and can be frustrating.

XMap is no longer supported by DeLorme or Garmin

Kommentare: I visit hundreds of foreclosed real estate parcels annually.

Vorteile:

Fantastic program that I used for over 15 years.

Nachteile:

DeLorme was acquired by GARMIN and they have let it die. No support. Historical user forums are gone and there is no information anywhere on how to fix issues with XMap8 if you have recently (2019) installed it on a Windows 10 machine. So frustrating!

Connecting your Garmin and phone

Vorteile:

I don't travel a lot but the Garmin friends gave to me very useful when I do. Discovered this phone app which connects to it and haven't used it a lot, but like the features which I suspect will come in handy on more complicated trips if we ever have them again.

Nachteile:

I've always found Garmin a bit glitchy to fire up in general, but perseverance...

XMap review

Kommentare: More than 15 years ago, it was my first ever navigation experience. A friend recommended her to me. Even then, this navigation system was among the best on the market.

Vorteile:

A long-standing traditionExcellent map coverageSimple to useThe possibility of various settings that are not offered by normal applications

Nachteile:

I had an occasional issue with updates which I was able to resolve eventually.
