 "unexpectedly expected" 2008-09-30
By Wade Wilson
read some of the review about the blue tooth, but wanted to try with my handheld anyways. Purchase this and wound up getting version 2007 plus of street atlas... for some reason (I guess the box) I was expecting 2008. Like most reviewers, I've got a previous version on my pc along with the LT version of the gps device. I've got a more up to date, yet still outdated version of the streets, and a poor excuse for a handheld gps... can't go outside of downloaded maps....



IT sucks.. not lemons, but maybe lemonheads, but i expected that.

The Delorme GPS unit and the software were exactly as advertised. The software is intuitive and detailed. Installation to the desktop and an older Palm Pilot Tungsten "T" was easy and directions were good. Setting up the Blue Tooth interface to the Palm was so easy it surprised me.

I have two TomToms, but was looking for something that I could plan for the next day's trip on a larger screen, like a laptop. I thought this was the product for me. After reading the reviews of users of this product, I wil stick to the awkward touchstreen of my TomToms. Thanks for the great headsup!

 "Complicated" 2007-09-13
By J. Mat
I have taught myself how to use complicated software before and think it is safe to say that this software is not for everyone. Paper based directions would be nice, but they are not included. I called tech support 3 times and waited an hour on hold. The first tech support person told me to "just use help" at the top to figure it out. My response- if I dont know the details of what the software does, how do I know what to look up so I know how to use it? His response, "good question". A few hours later, I am starting to get used to the software. They should really have a quick overview with basics to get you started. Good luck!

 "Interesting GPS hardware, software sucks" 2009-07-17
By RIK (Bay Area, CA)
I was tempted to switch from Microsoft Streets and Trips because Microsoft used to ship with a GPS receiver which due to its poor design broke for me. BT-20 was the only laptop navigation software with a GPS receiver which supported both Bluetooth and USB. However the software just plain sucks.

i) The routing engine is pathetic. It doesn't honor specified road preferences. Neither does it seem to differentiate quickest from shortest. Compared to Street and Trips it consistently chose the suboptimal route, preferring Forest Roads and Unpaved Roads even when told explicitly to avoid them.

ii) Disabling screen saver would have been a very useful option but it doesn't work.

iii) Route recalculation threshold doesn't work either. If I just switch lanes on a highway it thinks I'm "Off Route" and starts recalculating (even with the recalculation threshold set to highest 500ft).

iv) The software doesn't understand the concept of one way lanes and keeps recommending travel in the wrong direction on a one way street.

v) Maps and routes are a lot harder to visualize than Street and Trips

vi) Spoken names feature can't pronounce difficult street names

vii) When GPS is on you can't permanently change zoom level

viii) Finding an address without a zipcode is very slow and with a zipcode requires too many clicks.

ix) Point of Interest list seems poor compared to Street and Trips (which I always thought was old).

x) I have seen initial satellite lock times to be longer than advertised 10 minutes.



Even though I used Street and Trips for years I wasn't particularly a fan of it and kept hoping Microsoft would have a credible competitor in this space but Delorme's software makes me think that Street and Trips guys actually did a decent job.



To Delorme's credit they do have Voice commands (which I haven't tried) and I like their zoom out using the mouse option as well as the overview available when routing using GPS in 2D. Regardless of the good points/intent it should be illegal to sell such buggy software !

 "Difficult" 2009-06-29
By Dan Barnett
This products is difficult to use. The maps are fine, but if you want to change the route, you have to pick multiple points along the new route to force the mapping software into compliance. It seems to be stuck on its original route regardless of how many back tracks it has to make.



Also, the gps is very insensitive. The first time I used it, sitting at home by a south-facing window, it locked in after about 15 minutes. On a recent trip to Houston, it never locked in to the satellite array. MS Streets and Trips 2007 locked in fine but had outdated maps.



I wouldn't buy it again.

 "BT-20: yes. Street Atlas: beware." 2009-05-04
By MikeC
I very much like the DeLorme Earthmate® BT-20, but I can't say the same for the DeLorme Street Atlas USA® 2009 software.



The DeLorme Earthmate® BT-20 works like a charm, both USB connected and Bluetooth connected.



Via Bluetooth, it's a serial port ("virtual COM port") device.



Via USB, I'm using the "DeLorme Serial Emulation Driver for Earthmate® GPS Receivers" with it (http://www.delorme.com/support/supporttemplate.aspx?id=319). Hence, via USB, it's also a serial port ("virtual COM port") device.



It's working very well for me with the DeLorme Street Atlas USA® 2009 software and also with other software that communicates with a GPS device via a serial port.



Vis-a-vis the DeLorme Street Atlas USA® 2009 software, I like the look and feel of the user interface and I don't have any trouble using it. Features and functions wise, it's great. But, for me at least, the map data is useless. In my neck of the woods (Seminole County in central Florida), its map data is egregiously riddled with errors and omissions: many roads are missing, many roads are incorrectly named/labeled, and many points of interest are misplaced. In the DeLorme Forums, there are user comments that the same is true elsewhere around the country.

 "great GPS" 2009-04-13
By Harold N. Jones (Northern California)
The gps is quick at getting a lock on the satilites, I am still getting use to the software for routing. I use it on a netbook computer and the 3d is too much for the computer, but the 2d works fine.

 "Its really easy if you read the instructions!" 2009-02-19
By John B. Bolton III (Cloudland, Georgia)
I have the GPS BT-20 on my Delorme Handheld and my Sony laptop. It works great for me in the car, the plane and in the woods. I even use it fishing and set waypoints to get back to the most productive fishing spots.



The laptop gives me voice command functions and I can even set up GPS approaches for "out in the sticks" airfields which beats the old VOR approaches. (altitude readouts and all...) FAA says its not legal for instrument approaches but is great for a simple "glass cockpit" upgrade for the old Cessna 172.



If you take the time to read the instructions, its simple and easy to use. Also, there is even a Delorme support group on the web and you can set it up to tell you when there are updates. Also, Delorme support is 100% USA... they speak English and will work with you until resolved. I use both their Topo 7.0 and their Street Atlas Program. It beats Google Map every way.
