  Duration of ownership: 4 Years

  Strengths: Actually though Jimmytaps said "it will not accept restaurants or landmarks as trip points" it does. He just has not leaned to use it. You click on ANY point when making a route, as a STOP.

  Weaknesses:The rebates are _dated_ if you purchase the unit, after that date, then mail it in it will not be paid. But, that is par for the course in all products we purchase. In fact, I did get my rebates as they had not expired.

  Overall Evaluation: The maps are excellent, with more detail, updated yearly with over 2000 new streets on most updates. The Plus Version has all Business telephone numbers so you can call with Skype via WiFi right from the maps. Ive never found it necessary to have anything more than the excellent maps it comes with. Bought the GPS it at a big discount at Frys Electronics.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

  Strengths: none

  Weaknesses:clunky, cluttered interface, not an intuitive product, slow searches, and difficult to read maps (too cluttered at any scale)

  Overall Evaluation: I consider it wasted money. After the first 10 minutes of attempting to plan a route I simply shut it down and uninstalled it. It simply cannot compare to "Steets and Trips" for ease of use in visual clarity, route results and user friendlyness.

  Duration of ownership: 90 Days

  Strengths: 1)hi-contrast maps are very clear at night2)professional maps available from Delorme for $$$$3)coldstarts faster than Microsoft's puck 4)has a concurrent triple map display

  Weaknesses:1)DeLorme is defrauding consumers on rebates for its products and I would like to join a class action to regain my money.2)will not accept restaurants, landmarks, etc, as trip points2)

  Overall Evaluation: Delorme lured my hard-earned money into this purchase by offering two rebates for this product. After the maximum posted waiting period, I received a notice stating I was ineligible for the rebate as it hadn't been posted within the promotion period. I mailed my thoroughly prepared rebate submission well within the rebate period on THE DAY I received the shipment from the merchant. Simply, Delorme is defrauding consumers its products in order to boost sales against Microsoft. While not a big fan of Microsoft, I can say their product blows this one away for most drivers, especially now that they offer the two-way traffic assistance and redirect. The Delorme LT-40 could conceivably be better if you do most of your driving in marginal reception areas, or if you are interested in paying a lot more for the professional maps available from delorme's website. The social networking site delorme set up has yet to really be worth visiting, though this could change in a year or so.At full retail, this product is not worth it. If the rebates of $30 were paid, it would be a fair value.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: 1. Finds the satellites quickly.2. Plenty on POI.3. Many features / customizable.

  Weaknesses:Maps - outdated.

  Overall Evaluation: Received the GPS a few days ago and still on a learning curve. I surely does what's advertised and has some features (like adding / drawing routes) that most GPS devices don't have. Maps are a little old (my street does not appear on the map but Navigon and Garmin has it) but I just found out that an update is available.Overall, I'm satisfied with the Earthmate LT-40 GPS Receiver.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Acquires satellites fast and stays locked on

  Weaknesses:Having to use a laptop in the car

  Overall Evaluation: Overall, this is a solid product. I like using the regular GPS units better as I don't have to have a laptop in the car, but this works nicely when there is someone else riding along. If you're someone who drives around with people, this would be a good buy. If you're someone who travels alone, there are better options. Overall, the software is pretty easy to use.
