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.

Delorme EarthMate USB GPS w/Street Atlas USA
Strengths: Reasonable price, GPS seems to work well, software is pretty intuitive
Weakness: GPS has to be outside of windows to work, searching for places is sometimes cumbersome
Pretty good map software with GPS receiver for the price. Works quickly with a p4 2.4ghz notebook. Acquires satellite signals fairly quickly and tracks well. Downside is that GPS unit has to be outside of windows to work.
