I am sure you all have had experience with this fine piece of technology /software
Delorme Earthmate GPS with USB connection
Delorme Street Atlas 2005
At present I am running this on my DELL INSPIRON 8500 for my GPS activities
Does this work well with an ax??
The conversion cable is $50.00 versus $169 for a shiny new GLOBALSAT 338 (which would look really good in my car)
I am leaning towards an x50v because DELL is having a sale
If the delorme is reaaly good I could save A few $$$$
Thanks in advance for the info

Well the answer is yes and no. Yes, you can buy Delorme Street Atlas HandhHeld 2005. It is cheap at $39.95. Now for the bad news, the program totally sucks. The map data is old. It shows a bridge over some railroad tracks in my area that has not existed for over 30 years. It is painfully slow. My 11 mile route to work that OCN4 calcs in about 20 seconds takes almost 4 minutes in SAHH2005. It is supposed to reroute if you get off course, but it will take so long doing that, that you will be several blocks from where it will want you to turn. I could go on and on, but read the reports in Delorme's own forum: http://forum.delorme.com/index.php?c=16. Oh and if that is one of the old GPSs from Delorme, then it may output the Delorme propriaty version of the GPS data. A guy at work just found that out about his. He has to use a program to put in in a format that most programs can use.

THX .I think i will leave the delorme to my laptop and buy bluetooth for the ax.It is a newish reciever but why have more cables when you can bluetooth!!!!!!

notsure

You could get a bluetooth dongle for your laptop/home PC. They are reasonably priced.
