Amazon.com Product Description
Never Get Lost Again! 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 maps. 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 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.

 DONT BUY IT June 13, 2008
This thing does not work!
The software is passable, but the GPS will not work. I own 4 laptops, and it only works on one out of the four. Delorme's answer? "Newer laptosps dont put out enough voltage on USB, only use it on older laptops" COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!
No online help, no tollfree number, long times on "hold" waiting for a tech on a toll call, and after all that... the answer is "buy our bluetooth version, or use an older laptop".

 Excellent, Cheap PC GPS Device (NOT FOR MAC!!!) February 5, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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 Bluetooth!!! I would have to agree with another review that documention is lacking for the unit, and the unit does not work with the Mac (bummer), but so far those are the only drawbacks. It accuratly told me where I was at, how fast I was going and my heading. Really slick! I drive nearly 30,000 miles each year and I am looking forwrd to driving easier with my new GPS!!This is a must have for @$125!!
CAN'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT !!!!! April 27, 2003

I have had this for about 2 years and I travel about 100 days a year by car. I have it hooked up to my laptop, which is on the passanger seat. It has never left me down. In fact I would be lost without it, literly. I tracks where I go anywhere in the US with the existing software. Nothing else to buy !!! It pinpoints where I am at anytime. It's GREAT. If you travel a lot like me via car, and have a laptop, a VERY GOOD, AND LOGICAL PURCHASE.
Poor Tracking Selection January 29, 2002

1. The Earthmate does a very poor job of maintaining the track at speeds above 35 MPH or with even slight interferrence from buildings, bridges, etc. Before the Earthmate I had a small Magellan GPS that cost less and did a much better tracking job. Unfortunately it was stollen out of my car (along with the car).2. I bought the Earthmate for use with my Palm but when I upgraded to an M500, there was no adapter cable. DeLorme has still not provided one.
