Too bad it won't run on a PC. I loved Atlas, and used it on an almost daily bases. It was a good foundation for eventually graduating to a GPS solution.

It has been a life-changer, pluss the fact that all the other things that I can do with my bn can be achieved with my laptom. Just for the hell of it, I'm going to suggest "mapex".
