I'll give this a try.

I'm planning on picking up one of those Garmin EMap units on EBay soon.  
It'll be interesting to see if i have any problems setting it up to work 
with MS Streets on the L50 or the L70 I have.  I do have Delorme, which will 
probably be my choice between the two.

But I notice that Delorme SA v7.0 does't have as extensive information on 
points of interest as MS Streets does.  I was able to get a little bit of an 
idea what RV parks were like, what sorts of services that offered in 
Streets.  SA only shows a phone number... not even a street number.
