Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-20 2008 U.S.A./Canada Map DVD-ROM (Windows)
Customer Review: WARNING: GOOD JUDMENT STILL REQUIRED FOR EFFECTIVE USE!
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased the Delorme Earthmate GPS, along with the "Street Atlas" for a long road trip a week ago. The product, with its voice instructions, worked fairly well.
So far, our main observation is that it did not distinguish between, let's say, exit "20-A" and exit "20-B". It instructs you only to make a turn at exit 20.
However, after traveling for about a minute or two in the wrong direction, it will recalculate your route and point you in the correct direction.
Consequently, as you have no doubt discerned with the use of most other equipment/software, good judgment and common-sense is required to use it effectively.

Customer Review: not bad for $70
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this because it was the cheapest GPS unit for a laptop that I could find. First off let me talk about the interface. Yes it is hard to learn how to use it, but once you do it is very efficient and quick. The GPS unit works very well once it is locked onto the satellites.
However there are a few problems. The biggest is the route feature. If the turn is sooner than the route said it should have been, the program thinks you have made a wrong turn and will take a while to catch up to where you now are. The other problem is at night the screen is very bright even if I turn down the brightness all the way. I think they should have added a night mode like Streets and Trips does
Customer Review: Bit of a learning curve . . .
Summary: 4 Stars
The Delorme Earthmate GPS LT20 is an excellent GPS to use with a laptop computer. The user will need to take time to learn the software to use it properly. Works great and the voice prompts are accurate in providing directions to the driver. I put my laptop on the floor and the voice tells me where to turn.Customer Review: DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-20

Can't beat the price, the product seems to be top notch as far as laptop plug-ins go. However, the learning curve as to how to use the unit as well as navigation within the program is severe....or perhaps it's just me!Customer Review: not so bad
Summary: 4 Stars
i had very few problems with this program as others claim but i have extensive programming understanding. this is not the perfect system for all most are better off with a tomtom or something along those lines.
