Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DeLorme Map Library Subscription Card for Topo USA 8.0 and Earthmate PN Series GPS Navigators
Customer Review: Such a deal!
Summary: 5 Stars
This card is a one year subscription to an all-you-can-eat buffet of Delorme's on-line maps. Topo USA 8.0 National Edition has a tab in the software called NetLink which when you're connected on-line allows you to download maps from DeLorme's fabulous collection once this software license key is installed. You can choose from USGS 1:24K scanned quads, Color DOQQ Aerial Imagery, NOAA charts, SAT 10 satellite imagery, USGS DOQQ aerial imagery, and in 133 cities USGS Hi-Resolution aerial imagery. As an avid off-road adventure seeker the scanned 1:24K maps are a wonderful supplement to the included maps of Topo USA 8.0 and the black and white SAT 10 imagery helps in some complicated areas to determine the actual path of the trail. You are limited to a certain amount of area to download at a time, with my 1:24K maps I keep it down under 100 blocks of map for a reasonable download size. The downloads vary with the data type and I highly recommend a high-speed Internet connection. The same areas of the maps can be downloaded for use with the DeLorme handheld GPS systems like the DeLorme Earthmate PN-40 Handheld GPS (1:100k Topographic, Detailed Street Maps & POIs Included).
DeLorme is a map data company first and this is money well spent to get into their wealth of map knowledge.

If you have a need for mapping waypoints, developing maps for your hobby or business, or figuring out area, distance, or tracks and routes, the De Lorme TOPO mapping software is for you. I used ArcView at my former job and cannot afford that now as a private user. The mapping software that came with my DeLorme PN-40 GPS is fantastic. The most spectacular aspect of the annual subscription is that you have unlimited downloads of color, B&W, and USGS quads. They are quick and of good quality. There are more aspects of the software I haven't even discovered yet but I have been using it for almost 2 years now and love it. The software works even without buying the DeLorme GPS and is a great mapping tool. Of course there are direct links to the GPS unit built in if you buy the package. As the PN-40 goes, I haven't found the screen to be large enough to get good value out of the downloaded aerials in the field. The quads look good though.Customer Review: Fantastic Deal!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered the Map Library along with my PN-40 unit. This map library was one of the deal-makers that led to my buying the DeLorme GPSr. I mainly use the aerial images and the 1:24k topo quads. The color images for my area look to have been taken a couple of years ago, while the b&w's look about 6-7 years old. This will vary by geographic area. You can layer the maps in any order, and view hybrids with the Topo 7 data over the aerial (or whichever view you choose).
This annual subscription is just an unbelievable deal. The downloads I've made already would cost hundreds (going on thousands) of dollars if I bought the maps individually.
Customer Review: Delorme Map Library Subscription Card
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is for the Delorme Map Library Subscription Card. I have started downloading additional charts, maps, and images to use on the computer and on the handheld pn-40. Using the software is easy. The downloads can be slow and fail ten percent of the time, but after applying all Topo version 8 fixes, download failures have almost gone away. When downloading charts you can do 5 at a time and this may be good because of the download time. A better index of charts would be helpful, but this is making my handheld GPS into a chart plotter. Over all this is a good value to go along with the Delorme software and handheld GPS.Customer Review: map library
