The GPS works great. I'm having some software issues though. I think it may be as much the fault of Windows as it is DeLorme. The program will shut down for no apparent reason. And it sometimes changes views on it's own. For instance if I'm running the program im my house it will go to some other part of the country without me doing anything and when I'm driving it will sometimes zoom out but at least it does stay with me so when I zoom back in it still shows me being where I really am. I haven't contacted DeLorme about it yet.

Being in the mortgage and real estate profession, over many, many years, have found DeLorme's map software to be the best around... This is the first time i've decided to use their GPS, and it works great... It's more of a backup to my Tom-Tom GPS, but when i travel out of town, i always have my laptop, so i can use DeLorme... BUT... The best feature of DeLorme, is the street/block numbers: all you have to do is drag your cursor over any particular block, and it will tell you the block numbers... Really nice if you have a really long street, and your looking for a particular address... BTW... This has nothing to do with putting an address in for the GPS... This is just part of the software.... Try that on Google/Mapquest/etc. maps!!!

I received the new Earthmate 2010 LT-40 as a gift and installed it on a ASUS 1000HE netbook computer. Was concerned after hearing of others having problems, but am very pleased that I can report it worked for me out of the box, did not need to read manual or instructions, although I have no experience. I set up address book of places that I wanted to visit (zip codes work best for finding addresses), from and to addresses, reviewed the map routes, program generated directions and looked over the surrounding area, then installed the USB GPS which had no problems in 2D or 3D consistently receiving 7 to 10 channels of data, and drove the routes that I had planned. Voice directions worked fine, path history, automatic recalculation when I missed turns all worked well. Great product, easy to install and use at a very low cost. Nice gift to go with a netbook computer.
Update 10/21/2009: Used the Earthmate 2010 on the ASUS 1000HE recently on a 5 day trip to the Chicago area. Also carried a large foldout map as backup. Visited several dozen places during the day and some at night from north of O'Hare airport, to south of Midway airport and east to the shores of Lake Michigan. Never had to use the fold out map at all, which would have been very difficult at night, and even worse if lost. Earthmate worked very well to get around the maze of freeway connections, ramps, construction, and even some very poorly marked roads on the outskirts. With Earthmate always knew where I was, the GPS receiver consistently maintained lock even among the dense buildings in the city, and position lock acquired in seconds after the ASUS 1000HE was powered up.

I am entirely unhappy with this product.
I bought it mainly for the GPS, and since I couldn't find it separate from the software, I bought the bundle.
Well, the software turns out to be hard to use, and the GPS is a disaster for a laptop user wishing to use it with any other software.
Delorme advertises it as NMEA compatible, implying you'll be able to use it with other navigation or GPS products; however, the driver you need to do this, which is not included on the disk, is buggy, frequently crashes, and quits working if you shut the laptop lid and put it into sleep mode. this is evidently a known issue with the driver, complained about by Delorme users for years, and apparently is not going to be fixed.
In short, dispite Delorme's claims, it cannot be used effectively on a laptop with any other software.
Also, because you need a driver to make it NMEA compatible, you won't be able to use it on anything except a pc running desktop Windows.
I also found the cold-start times quoted, when in poor conditions, unreasonably optimistic.
