Delorme Earthmate GPS LT-20 with Street Atlas 2007User Review: - Worth The PriceI never get out of town without this device. It's very accurate on major roads and the re-routing feature is great.The downside of this gps is that sometimes it goes crazy and tells you're off route even though you're on the right track. It once directed me to the wrong exit and re-routed me back onto the same highway. Just give yourself enough time. 95% of the time, it is accurate. User Review:  - Difficult to useWe started with a Kenwood navigator with touch screen at $3000; liked it but the database was extremely poor and an updated DVD is $450. Tried DeLorme; not at all user friendly and had annoying, perhaps fatal, characteristic of showing a turn 1/10 mile after the turn--but then sometimes it would show the turn where it was supposed to be. Microsoft Streets & Trips is user friendly, intuitive, and works well--database is excellent. User Review: - Software is un-useableSoftware is so bad I sent the whole packages back (before even trying the GPS), and purchased the Microsoft product. User Review: - Terrible SoftwareThe software for this system is so horrible, I doubt even the developers could figure out some of the features. I'm an experienced engineer, and I couldn't figure out how to get the thing to easily navigate to a Walmart once it was found on their database. Their database is also terrible, and doesn't include things like drug stores. I don't even want to waste my time on this review, it's that terrible...I develop software for experienced technical professionals, and if my software engineers gave me this they'd be out of a job. Good Luck. User Review:  - With the 2006 software this is greatI live in Southwest Virginia, a very rural and mountainous area, and this device along with the software has not gotten me lost yet. I am very pleased with the voice commands, and the maps. I love the feature that if you press F5 (repeat last command) that it will update you travel distance and estimated time (based on your speed) tell it to you. The best feature by far was its ability to get me back on route when I made a wrong turn. It quickly recalculates your route, and begins speaking the direction to get back on route immediately. Being a guy I naturally hate pulling over at a gas station for directions, and hopefully this baby will keep that from happening again. Over all I give this 5 out of 5 stars, I have used the Garmin GPS 18 (very similar to this) and I hated the user interface of the software. It took longer to recalculate routes, and the map is VERY hard to read (especially if you are at a red light and only have a couple of seconds). |
