DeLorme Map Library Subscription Card for Topo USA 8.0 and Earthmate PN Series GPS Navigators Reviews
| 18 of 19 people found the following review helpful  Fantastic Deal!!!, This review is from: DeLorme Map Library Subscription Card for Topo USA 8.0 and Earthmate PN Series GPS Navigators (Electronics) I ordered the Map Library along with my PN-40 unit. This map library was one of the deal-makers that led to my buying the DeLorme GPSr. I mainly use the aerial images and the 1:24k topo quads. The color images for my area look to have been taken a couple of years ago, while the b&w's look about 6-7 years old. This will vary by geographic area. You can layer the maps in any order, and view hybrids with the Topo 7 data over the aerial (or whichever view you choose).This annual subscription is just an unbelievable deal. The downloads I've made already would cost hundreds (going on thousands) of dollars if I bought the maps individually. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful The best value in mapping software, bar none!, By This review is from: DeLorme Map Library Subscription Card for Topo USA 8.0 and Earthmate PN Series GPS Navigators (Electronics) I have used DeLorme TopoUSA products for going on a decade now, so I have lots of experience with it from it's earlier days as a pioneering product in the consumer digital mapping field. Once I "got the hang of it", it's been an indispensable tool in the backcountry. Hook a GPS to the laptop, load up the DeLorme mapping software, and you get a dot on the map at the precise location you are at. During my backcountry adventures, I've found jeep trails using DeLorme mapping software that I couldn't even see on the ground due to terrain conditions, nighttime, etc. The added benefit of handheld mapping GPS units from DeLorme has only made their mapping products even more useful. Maps downloaded through this subscription can also be downloaded into DeLorme's handheld gps units.This subscription to the DeLorme download service for added 7.5 minute USGA topo maps, charts, aerial, and satellite photography has been a wonderful addition to the product. I've been using it since...

And everything will be visible on the computer screen as well as on the handheld GPS unit. The problem is: Delorme makes every effort to prevent the valued customer from downloading their precious data. The selection process of maps to download is slow and tedious through their "flagship" software "TopUSA 8". Once after dozends of clicks the maximum download size of about 50 MB is selected (corresponding to a 1000sqm area), one has to wait 20 minutes for an email with a download link to arrive. The download itself is painstakingly slow and crashes half of the time (this does not have to do with my connection speed). So be prepared to spend days and days clicking through menues and waiting and frustrating if you want to get some of your money's worth on this product... |
