I recently started using it in a GPS capacity with an LT-20 I had gotten a couple years ago in a bundle deal. I am less impressed with it than I am the program itself. It seems to be off by about a half block in some communities which results in the software thinking I am on a back alley. Plus the software likes to cut corners meaning it will turn off of a main route 1/2 mile before the main intersection to cut the corner. This is usually slower in my test cases. I am considering finding a new usb GPS device to try with my street atlas for hopefully better results. My experience with delorme over the past 15 years has been good.

De Lorme sent me up a dirt road and at the end, the road was blocked by a locked gate. I also had to remove fallen trees on that road. Locations were no longer where the POIs told me (hotels that were in the list) and the voice commands sometimes told me to take other directions than indicated on the screen (like "turn left" and the route on the screen indicated right). I wonder why that thing was called 2008. If one selects shortest route, the software should still keep you on a driveable road (not everyone has 4WD). I just returned it at my local store.

DeLorme doesn't have European maps that I know of, but other software programs that do could connect to the LT-20 to receive the GPS information.

POI information was consistently incorrect in location and in actual businesses no longer in business. Although it was inexpensive and should have warned me, the name DeLorme clouded my better judgement. Never again!
