The software is Delorme's Street Atlas which is bundled with their
"Earthmate" system

The 2007 version has much better Canadian coverage than previous
releases but I used Street Atlas 2005 the first time I went to BusFusion
and 2006 the next time.  With those 2 versions, roads and highways were
well represented but "Street level" left much to be desired.
