Product Description
The Earthmate GPS Receiver is a high-performance, easy-to-use link to the satellite navigation technology of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Earthmate and a laptop PC will show your location on detailed Street Atlas USA Deluxe maps (available as a bundle). An arrow shows your position in real time on street-level maps, so you always know where you are and where you need to be.Earthmate has been developed in partnership with Rockwell/Conexant, the company that pioneered GPS satellite technology. This means you get faster satellite acquisition times and outstanding performance specifically designed to maximize the unique capabilities of award-winning Street Atlas USA and other DeLorme software.Earthmate features a durable housing with a moisture-resistant seal and is designed to withstand a wide variety of road conditions. Unlike many other GPS receivers, Earthmate can be powered by four AAA batteries. This is especially important when using Earthmate with handheld or laptop computers in a car where available power is already being used.

Turned Out to be an older version
This turned out to be an older (2004) version of the software. Seller’s ad didn’t indicate this fact. Works fine however.

Ok I guess, but a little out dated now
This worked fine for a few months, but the relationship to my movement and the map were never completely correct. After a while I couldn’t get the GPS device to work.

Good product; can be tweaked & adapted
I have used the Delorme Street Atlas 2004 and associated Earthmate GPS for the last 2 years with more positive than negative experiences (I do not care much about the voice…

Great value in GPS technology!
The Earthmate and Street Atlas 2005 for PC is a great value in GPS when you consider you can own it for about 100 bucks! I used my Earthmate recently on a vaca to Florida.

Don’t waste your time “0 stars”
Earthmate GPS isn’t worth the money. If I could give it “0 stars”, I would. The installation process is terrible and the GPS unit would not stay locked on even in clear blue sky…

Excellent alternative to expensive Car GPS package
This is an excellent GPS device, especially when you consider the price tag. I have been using it since last year.

Another strikeout for Delorme software and hardware
If you’re the sort of person who gets excited about great mapping products (such as Street Atlas USA, Map’N Go, and other Delorme products for Windows 3.

Great little receiver. Decent software. Great support
The receiver unit is very small and great for travellers who may not always be in their own car. The software is basic, but I probably have too high expectations for map…

Excellent, Cheap PC GPS Device (NOT FOR MAC!!!)
A friend had this unit and I’ve been looking for a GPS device that uses PC mapping. Most use serial port communications, this one is better, being that it is USB and even better…
