- 2009 LT40-Great Value
- The Delorme is a great value. However, it is also somewhat complex. We plan to use this in a motorhome. Hope the dw figures out all features of this program. We have not actually used this to navigate as of yet. I have lit it up and know that it works and looks great. I suspect there may be a long learning curve for my navigator as she has never used a gps type device before and had some issues with map navigation. Hopefully once set up and in use the real time visibility will make this more intuitive? I do advise printing out some or all of the "help" features.

- Excellent product
- The DeLorme Earthmate and Street Atlas software are very powerful and well done. The steeper learning curve than a dedicated GPS reward you with a more powerful and flexible system.

- DeLorme Street Atlas 2009
- Great update from Street Atlas 2008. The New LT-40 GPS unit is much, much faster to acquire a 3D fix and seems to be more accurate. Money well spent.

- Delorme 2008 Street Atlas and LT-40 GPS receiver travel well
- Bottom line: This Delorme bundle offers an economical GPS solution that runs on your personal laptop. Its navigation features (voice guidance and large laptop screen) are good for a single driver. But, its enroute Points of Interest directory for gas, lodging or restaurants requires a computer savy co-pilot.
The 2008 Street Atlas maps are relatively up to date. Delorme's maps seem to run 2 or 3 years behind new highway construction. It has a good inventory of county and township backroads, often providing shortcuts to the larger roadways. Delorme relies on user feedback to update road information. When traveling lesser used routes, the GPS coordinates and the atlas overlay map can be off by 300 feet or so, like the map needs to be stretched east or west to fit the road. You don't get lost, but you do get nuisance alerts that say you're "off route". Bottom line, we love it and we don't travel without it.
The LT-40 receiver is great. It keeps a GPS lock much better than the prior LT-20. The LT-40 holds on while driving under tree cover. It even worked when I walked from the backyard into the house during its initial checkout. It properly detected when I was walking north, south, east and west, moving from room to room. - 2008-08-27, 0 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
