August 13, 2011Better than Streets?,
Having used Microsoft Streets since its first release, I was reluctant to even try another product. I was grossly mistaken. The learning curve (for me) was a slight bit slower than the old familiar “Streets”, but now that I have been using DeLorme Street Atlas for a couple of months, I have deleted “Streets” and use DeLorme exclusively. There are many extremely valuable tools (including a street level phone directory) and the routing options are far more comprehensive than those found in Streets. I recommend this product to all those (myself included) who are directionally challenged!

August 13, 2011Reliable hardware but navigation on your on risk,
The Earthmate GPS LT-20 comes with USA Street Atlas 2008. The hardware is plug-and-play and works as expected. Cold start-up time is appr. 2 minutes.
Together with the Street Atlas I could recently test the bundle in various major cities, for long distance navigation and down to forest service roads. I was travelling in the greater Boston area and from Seattle to Los Angeles with a stop in San Francisco and then east to Grand Canyon National Park, Page, AR and Las Vegas. The details and functionalities of the software are overwhelming and it took me a few days to figure it out. Route planning works great and is of a big help when planning a trip. Navigation and route optimization worked fine in 90% of all situations, but: Do not change your mind while driving. To get the navigation back on track after leaving a proposed route it sometimes takes minutes or needs a total restart of the routing process. Occasionly the routing algorythm tends to panic although the GPS signal is perfect and has a 3D-fix. In such a situation you find yourself all over sudden besides the road and Street Atlas sends you in loops where there are no roads at all. I had the impression that this effect is a bug. It is reproducable and it seems to be limited to certain geographical areas (Downtown Boston, region north of San Francisco, Grand Canyon National Park, some parts of LA). After missing for example a right turn in a downtown area I did not get an alternative proposal to the next milestone (stop, via or finish point) but instructions on how to return to the originally missed right turn. This is not really helpful.
The optical representation of roads in their hierachy and quality needs to be improved. In National Parks I missed a differentiation between paved and unpaved roads. In cities it’s sometimes hardly visible how reality relates to the screen representation.
All in all Earthmate GPS Lt-20 in combination with Street Atlas 2008 was a great help with some limitations.

August 13, 2011Amazon has its data wrong on this,
I have this product, and Amazon is wrong in its description.
I have tried to contact Amazon but they will not listen.
THIS product does NOT come with Street Atlas USA 2008 PLUS; it comes with Street Atlas 2008. The PLUS software has a database of 150 million phone listings (imagine drive through Bethesda MD and your realize you have lost your contacts and need an eye doctor. PLUS software will help you find one with a phone number.)
The software that comes with this product does not have 150 million phone listings.
The software that comes with the more expensive Earthmate GPS BT-20 2008 IS Street Atlas USA 2008 PLUS with the 150 million phone listings.
(Isn’t it sad we have to correct Amazon product desciptions by writing a review instead of by contacting someone by email?)
