Delorme Earthmate GPS LT-20 with Street Atlas 2007User Review: - Great for aid to navigationJust replaced 2004 with 2006 Not much better but easier to use for windows junkies. Very accurate gps but sometimes the maping software, as with all, needs improvement. Use it extensively for back roads and it has saved us several times. Will buy again if needed. User Review:  - Good, But the user interface should be standard WindowsI have been using Street Atlas since 1997 and upgrade most of the time as they produce new versions. The program is good. They keep improving but still have not done a great job. They need to compare the look and feel of their program with others. If they were to do a study, they would realize that the last thing I want to do while driving down the road is to fight with my GPS software. At the top of the program should be a "File" menu, then edit, etc, ending with "help". There should be a "MUTE" button so that I can easily stop the voice the says "Off Route ... Off Route...." when I am no longer following the planned route. Heck, a way to delete a route without creating a new one would work. After years of upgrading to the latest version and hoping that they have sent their programmers to school to learn usability, I am buying a GPS mapping system from another company. (Probably Microsoft) Update 6-10-2008 I tried the Microsoft GPS and returned it, It did not work well at all. Then I purchased Delorme 2008 and love it. It still does not have the standard file menu (File, Edit, Help, Etc) and that would make it better, but Delome 2008 is much easier to use than prior versions. I will upgrade to the next Delome version next time I need new GPS software. User Review:  - Hard to use, can't get it to workI installed it to my xp, the GPS receiver cannot detect anything, the user interface is confusing, I tried everything, but the GPS receiver still doesn't work, finally I return it. Then I bought a Microsoft Street, it works perfect, quick and easy set up, except that it doesn't have voice functionality. User Review:  - Superb navigation systemPractically hands-free using voice commands via microphone and aural response from the software. Maps are not always 100% accurate, but none of the mapping software I've used ever are 100% accurate. Use common sense and check your route. Firmware updates available from DeLorme website. User Review: - I dont recomend this !I have been useing this for a year now ! This product has alot of bugs ! It tells you to turn the wrong way alot of times ! It freezes up alot ! Lots of problems I would not buy another product from Delorme ! BEWARE ! |
