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). Here’s the lineup of my gadgets, past and present… GPS / Mapping / Travel DeLorme Earthmate BT-20 My addiction is to buying computer stuff, gadgets, electronics, etc. Most ladies’ shopping addiction is to clothes, jewelry, etc.
