Shucks, they ain't takin any orders online.
Had to get put on the "will notify you" list, hope I get mine before the "A" or the "D" come up.
Also asked them if it will work with Streets 9.0 as this is the prefered version for me.

| I just got Delorme Street Atlas 2003. No more little houses, only map tags. I am a little discouraged. I liked my little houses! |

I know, I've already tried! I even called them and said just ship it when you get it but they won't! Drats! Guess we'll all just have to be patient together. $129 for the whole kit and kaboodle sounds a lot less than I originally paid for the other Earthmate, no? Seems like it was more like $200 for all of it and then I paid another $60 for the USB connector.
Chuck, did you and Dave get the site for the "Cool" tool belt? Seems it will be doing the same thing the cooler packs did in the extreme high temps. What do you think? |

We will be giving some Earthmates away at the convention.
You know the exporting of the Loss Location into the mapping program is a great tool. I saw a couple of adjusters use it on my last assignment. They also received all of their claims via download so they did not even need to enter the addresses. Dave put out a Katt's Report on GPS a few years ago and it's still on the site.Tech Report
(sorry for the convention plug) |

| We used the send to DeLorme feature in Xactimate for the first time this storm (tried it at home first) and it worked great about 99% of the time. I didn't notice at first that if Street Atlas couldn't find the street or block it would just locate it to zip code. It looks like it is all mapped out, but isn't really near the risk location. We frequently can't find the street locations in the new developements even on the internet. |

I hear it is pretty cool. I've tried Microsoft Streets and Trips but I didn't like it at all. Maybe it was just because I was used to Delorme. It took me a while to get used to the new Delorme after using 7.0 for almost 2 years.
Does anyone know how to turn off the voice function on Delorme 2003 without completely shutting down the sound on the whole computer. I hate the voice directions, it drives me nuts. I have tried for months to find out how to turn it off but can't seem to figure it out so I just end up muting my computer.

"ctrl d" to mute the delores voice option |

| Linda, are you talking about importing files from a program like Integra into the new Delorme version like you used to be able to do with 9.0? |

| Yes, I am talking about importing the loss addresses from Xactimate into Delorme. I understand it can be done and easily but that there is some "path" that has to be entered/changed. I am "tech" challenged and need help in making this adjustment. |

Linda,
I can tell you how on Integra and it might be the same on Xactimate. It is not real hard, but I don't know if I can explain it on the puter. If you want, email me with your ph # and a good time to call and I'll give you a buzz and try to walk you thru it. My email is sbeau4014@aol.com.

Xactimate will work with Delorme 7.0 and 9.0 and will admit these are the only versions that Xact has tested. The problem with these Delorme versions is that they are old. They do not have new streets and Delorme no longer services them, so that if you have a problem, Delorme will disavow any knowledge of their existence and will deny that they have a duplicate copy to send you.
Dolorme 2003 was the first windows version of Delorme. It did not work with Xact or anything wlse, so they issued 2003 Plus, which did work with other programs. I assume that the same situation continues with 2004, i.e., you probably have to have 2004 Plus to interact with Xact, but neither company will allow that the other exists and both get really defensive about it. But that's another story.
To map in Delorme 7.0, 9.0 or 2003 Plus (and presumably 2004 Plus), go into your list of claims, highlight the ones scheduled for a given day, click on Options and clip on the bottom option. I think it's export, but my Xact is turned off when I'm not working, so I can't be sure that's what it's called. Click on it and it copies the files to an excel file. Copy it to the desktop, so you can find it and name it with that date. You then open Delorme, click on file and then on import address book, click on the excel file where you stored the list of files and it will populate your screen with tags and arrows pointing to the locations. But don't trust it to be 100% accurate. If it doesn't know a location, it will send you to some other street with the same 100 block that sort of sounds like it, so keep your brain on.
To turn off the Stephen Hawking voice, go to GPS and unclick the GPS Voice Navigation item. |
