Delorme Earthmate GPS LT-20

3 stars (Works.. Sort of..) - The GPS receiver included works fine but the software is still a work in progress. I have had it tell me to turn left when it should say right, and vice versa. It has routed me off of major highways to put you right back on the same highway a few miles down the road for no reason. It thinks I am on the next street over when I am at my house. It is fun to play with, but I don't think I would leave home without a real map yet.. 4 stars (Low cost mapping and GPS) - This was my first experience with GPS. I recently bought and used it on a business trip from New Jersey to Virginia. Based on that experience, I will always drive with GPS in unfamiliar territory. This software has some great features, including voice. It is easy to get started and use. The routing is excellent and it will even re-evaluate your route automatically if you should get off course. The down side is that the GPS unit that came with it is not accurate and slow to respond. I first set it up in my driveway and the GPS indicated that my position was in the woods 200 yards away. While driving, the GPS did track well on major roads. However, on small roads, off-ramps and residential areas it thought that I had left the road and was 4-wheeling in the field next to the road. This tended to confuse the software. Do not use the gas station feature in the software, unless you know what you are doing; otherwise, when the software thinks that you are low on gas it will direct you off at each exit that has a gas station. Until you realize what is going on, you will be loosing a lot of time, confused by why the software keeps sending you on these detours. I guess I will need to read the directions on how to use the gas feature properly. 5 stars (Earthmate) - I do a great deal of traveling by car. The Delorme Earthmate really helps me out. I just hook it up to my laptop and off I go. Because it works by satellite, you can always find what you're looking for in a hu...
