It’s quite a nice gadget! I still love the capability of the DeLorme to transfer a route that I created on my map software, so there’s good reason to have both devices.

It’s a more bare bones model, and doesn’t do multipoint routes (I think I can add one via point), no software to create routes, doesn’t speak street names (but of course, it displays the street name). So, I opted to also procure a Garmin Nuvi 200. Wrong turn? Forget it…took too long to recalculate. Well, even with having the awesome DeLorme GPS, I found that it wasn’t the best for street navigation when I was trying to look for a place “on the fly” and navigate there…fair, but not as responsive as I’d hoped. If only I had this when Pat and I assisted Thomas Repp of AMERICAN ROAD magazine with researching an old auto trail in Indiana, the Ben Hur Route. Why, you ask? This would be very helpful to identify old alignments of US Highways, auto trails, etc.

I can then be out traveling and use the GPS viewing an old map. The cool thing with this device is that I can georeference old maps and transfer them to the device. I can create a very intricate route, transfer it to the DeLorme, and use it to navigate during my trip. This GPS comes with DeLorme’s excellent mapping software, Topo 7, but for a $100 upgrade, XMap can be used to import any custom images, maps, satellite photos, etc. One can have the map file, topo, USGS, nautical maps, aerial imagery, and custom stuff as well. An added bonus on the PN-40 is the ability to have multiple types of maps (layers) on the device. With the pathetic performance of the BT-20, I thought about a new GPS, primarily for geocaching, but also for some road navigation, finding points of interest, and “tracking” during a trip, so I could take the “track” file and then geotag the multitude of photos I take during road trips.Ī handheld model could fill all of these needs, and I chose the DeLorme PN-40. The DeLorme PN-40 is my new handheld GPS. My problems were the result of running the mobile version of Street Atlas.

You would have all of the maps, and no processing speed problems. If combined with a laptop running Street Atlas, I am sure the performance would have been fine. However, this was not the fault of the BT-20 itself. Not only that, but searching for POIs was excruciatingly slow, and if you had the foolishness to even attempt creating a route more than 500 feet long, was impossible for the Palm to calculate. But aligning the squares for each map (you can’t overlap, that’s bad) was so frustrating, I gave up. I was sick for a week and was laid up in bed, so with my mom’s borrowed laptop, I managed to make some progress. It would have taken forever to get the entire US transferred to my Palm. The transfer was painfully slow and I could only cut small maps at a time. The problem is, more area = more grids = more data. Cutting the maps means to view the maps with gridlines on and select grids and form a map package with them.

One would have to be in the Street Atlas software on the desktop PC and “cut” maps and transfer them to the device. What was not so good was basically, everything else! Getting maps onto the device was so cumbersome. It would follow the map and show one’s position with speed and accuracy. The device worked well in receiving a good GPS signal fast.

My Palm TX had Bluetooth and was capable of running the mobile version of DeLorme Street Atlas. The DeLorme Earthmate BT-20 is a Bluetooth GPS unit that works on any device with Bluetooth capability. The first GPS unit I had was actually one I used with my Palm TX (see below).
