 Earthmate GPSMar 03, 2010
By Beth A. Rees
The reception with this GPS was extremely poor. I tested it in an area where I get great reception with my TomTom and the reception kept fading out. I would recommend spending a little more on a TomTom GPS. I have tried Garmin GPS's also and found the TomTom far superior. I returned this item to DeLorme.

Don't bother - a waste of money.Jul 24, 2010
By Jerry Saperstein
I've had it with DeLorme. I'll continue buying the occasional update to their topographic maps because they are the only reasonably priced solution out there and my needs are not critical.
But their Street Atlas has an antiquated, clumsy, difficult to use interface; the navigational and points of interest data is often erroneous or out of date.
And the BT-20 Bluetooth GPS supplied in this package is absolutely useless.
It is sitting right now, connected via Bluetooth to my computer, with a clear view of the southern, eastern and western sky. After more than an hour, the utterly worthless DeLorme BT-20 finally recognized 2 satellites. I put my smartphone right next to it, turned on GPS and within a minute locked on to 10 of 11 satellites.
A several years old unit that came with Microsoft Streets & Trips had no problems either.
Maybe, some day, I will update my Topo maps and if DeLorme is still the only player in the low priced space, I might buy an upgrade.
Otherwise I don' plan on ever buying a DeLorme product again and strongly recommend that you don't either. DeLorme products simply aren't worth the money.

 Oops, bad Palm OS supportMar 04, 2010
By R. SMITH
I purchased the product specifically for the bundled Palm OS support. Pairing the BT-40 to a Palm Centro is spotty at best. Add to that the lost pairing during an incoming call, and the product is virtually worthless for mobile Palm use.
I haven't spent much time with the PC-based software. I'm sure (or I hope) it's much better.

 Excellent Mapping ProgramMay 30, 2011
By Norman Frakes
"Norm Frakes"
This is a full featured mapping program. Good detail and a valuable resource plus with the GPS unit it has full capability. A bit complex with no good set of instructions.....a good manual or tutorial would be of value.

 Great Software - Trashy GPS!!Nov 23, 2010
By Luvnmt
"luvnmt"
I love the Delorme Earthmate mapping software! I find it easy to use - like it a lot! Run - don't walk from the BT-20 bluetooth gps! It is TRASH! I spent huge amounts of time trying to make it work! I am pretty computer savvy and could not make it happen. I spent a lot of time on the phone/email with tech support. I finally sent the gps unit in, only to have them return it and tell me nothing is wrong. To this day I can't make it work via bluetooth. I does work if I connect it with the usb cord. The point is I paid to have the convenience of bluetooth!
