New Earthmate DeLorme in GPS receiver and Bluetooth PowerPack cradle to keep the bright yellow and black color scheme, marked the previous model Earthmate. The GPS receiver itself weighs only 2 ounces and can connect to no-Bluetooth system via USB-cable (included), but also for wireless communications, you must insert it in the set PowerPack. As a result, the whole configuration, which costs $ 319.95 (or $ 129.95 for the receiver alone), weighs only 5.5 ounces and measures 3.75 by 2.4 by 2.0 inches – easily the largest unit in this roundup .Although it is not as slick looking as Pharos or TeleType receivers, Earthmate can be worn on a belt or clipped to the sun visor of your car, both of which have a clear idea of heaven.

Earthmate comes with DeLorme Street Atlas USA 2004 in the software for desktop computers and laptops. You will need to fork out an extra $ 40 for a portable version, which supports both Pocket PC and Palm platforms. This program allows you to choose which network you want to sync to your PDA. Atlas Street supports voice-guided route, has more than 4 million points of interest (POI), such as ATMs, restaurants, gas stations and major attractions, and also allows the creation of a route “on the fly.” At the grassroots level maps of the New York tristate region requires 28MB of RAM. The user interface allows you to clearly marked menu tabs to create routes, export maps as well as the creation of point-to-point directions. Kit also includes Bluetooth and alternating current (cigarette lighter) power chargers, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, desktop version of Street Atlas USA 2004, and nine-pin serial cable for those who do not have a laptop USB.

We were generally pleased with the ability to bind to the Earthmate requires four satellite signals in 40 seconds, although it is no better than other parts of the GPS (with the exception of Belkin GPS) in midtown Manhattan tests. Our test vehicle was also positive, the signal retention Earthmate and tracking accuracy were in place. Battery, rated up to 7 hours of life in the power plant, gave us just that, with a few spare minutes.
