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. My opinion is don't upgrade from 7 to 10 in case I haven't made myself clear, which happens according to my wife! I believe Windows 7 was at the top of the list for best all time OS's made by Microsoft.Most ladies’ shopping addiction is to clothes, jewelry, etc. In fact, their version number 2.6 hasn't changed in several years, and the license I purchased in early 2009 worked just fine when I installed it on my new Windows 10 laptop. I forgot to mention that GPSGate works fine for me on Windows 10.
Going this route (not upgrading) allows one to preserve your existing laptop while getting a new one with a current OS installed to run the latest and greatest programs. After having the Windows 10 upgrade run unbeknownst to me I decided to buy a new laptop as it didn't turn out too well, but it was time anyway. If I had to do it all over again I'd still be on Windows 7. The upgrade process can break other functioning products no matter how you go about it, but once on Windows 10 you can uninstall and reinstall to resolve the issue. As far as GRLX products go, as long as you are using version 2 it should be fine. If you use any version other than Delorme 2015 with Windows 10 it isn't a good combination.
