Works Fine

I loaded the program into my EeePC Net Book, connected the included GPS device to a USB port, and it ran perfectly the first time.

If you have a decent laptop or Net Book this is a great buy - especially at the reduced price I paid ($37.99). (Buy it, unless you actually need a newer map than 2009)

pretty cool

Good seller. Product a bit clunky. For instance, when route trace is on the line it makes on the screen is intrusive and takes up alot of the potential map detail. Like the garmin better.

Florida maps are terrible/inaccurate.

I test roads for FDoT and purchased this GPS to interface with the on-board computer in my test vehicle and optimize my routing around the state. For this purpose the software is awful. It simply cannot be trusted to route me on roads that either actually exist or that go through to where Delorme says they do. All too often I find myself having to backtrack and find my own way because the software has routed me down a road that ends in a housing development or gated community or has routed me to a "road" that is, in fact a dirt drive to a private home. Addresses for hotels and businesses are frequently shown in the incorrect place on the map i.e. enter an address and where the software directs you is NOT, in fact, to that address. Sometimes the error is a few blocks, sometimes it's miles off. The software is so frequently wrong that I no longer use it to provide routing to unknown locations, but rather just to estimate travel time to a general area. I route myself by paper map and locate the spot on the screen to set an endpoint. I then drive the route that I've set by hard-copy map and ignore the attempts by the GPS to provide me with "Better" routing, which is really what the unit was purchased for.
