Customer Review(s)
Customer Rating: Summary: Exceptional Value and Amazing Features Comment: Couple this with the new 2009 Map CD and this is, hands down, better than any dashboard unit. Not only is it feature rich - the details are amazing; you can even have it search a street and get every phone number and address and person on the street... add them to phone book and put a place [reference] on the map for you to get directions - turn by turn.
Also,of course, works like a regular dashboard unit - input a start and destination or just a destination ...and it gives you visual and verbal -live - turn by turn directions right to your destination. If my laptop was a little smaller and lighter - this would be ideal. I have to admit setting up the laptop in the car for a short trip is not very practical ... but other than that - it's ideal. And inexpensive. Plug and Play. I'd recommend it to anyone with a laptop. Oh, and it's great for pre-planning [of course] becasue you have your computer - not a little gadget... right in your living room, etc.
Customer Rating: Summary: Delorme Earthmate GPS LT-20 Comment: I'm not at all satisfied with this product. I also own Microsofts GPS and I like it very much. I had the Microsoft one first and wanted to try this to see which is better.
Customer Rating: Summary: not for truckers Comment: If you are a truck diver this is not for you, it help a lillte bit but it gives sometimes routes that are not good for trukers like , thru mountains even trying to choose just interstates.
Customer Rating: Summary: Hands down the WORST option out there! Comment: I have owned the 2006 version of this program since it came out. I travel for a living and have used it on both coasts and in the midwest EXTENSIVELY. The ONLY thing it is good for is giving you a rough idea of how long your trip will take. THE MAPS ABSOULETLY STINK EVERYWHERE!!!!! There is a MAJOR 4 lane hiway near my home (Hwy 2 from Lincoln NE to Nebraska City, NE) that has been there for 5 to 10 years and it isn't even on the map (It still shows the old 2 lane hwy 2 and tries to redirect you OVER AND OVER AND OVER again). I have found this also in at least 2 other states. It has even directed me to the wrong TOWN!!! (In California when I was going to Stanford University)
SAVE YOURSELF SOME HEADACHE AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!
Customer Rating: Summary: Save Your Money Comment: Delorme Earthmate LT-20 ... If I could rate this product lower than one star I would! I purchased this program thinking it was as good as it used to be in 2004. NOT! First off I was led to believe it was ther 2007 version...it's not! It's 2006 Street Atlas. And they want $10 more to give you the 2007 SA update. That's not gonna happen! I 've tried everything I know and can't even make it open to MY city. It opens to Washington DC...I live in Southern CA. It lists my home on a street 1/2 a mile away. Personal preferences such as POIs and info for trip planning have to be set each and EVERY time you open the program. There's no such thing as personalizing it and saving your preferences so you can quickly set up a route knowing that all your preferences are in place. It couldn't even find the North Rim of the Grand Canyon until I put the latitude & longitude in for it! What good is that??? When I set up POI to find Campgrounds in a certain area, it cannot find them even when "I" put the names in....much less perform a search on it's own. This program is absolutely beyond useless. Worst money I've ever spent on a map program. I won't be buying this again!
