DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-40 2009: Cheap GPS Solution For Laptop Toters

by Justin

Not all of us feel the need for a portable navigation device, mobile phone, laptop, and PDA. Most of these tools integrate the features of all the others in some way these days. If you’ve ever been a truck driver, cop, or passenger in the back of a cop car, you’ll notice that these types of vehicles tend to mount a laptop rather than GPS unit on or off of their dashboards.

If you’re one of those that would rather just boot up your laptop in-car and use it as a navigational device rather than purchasing a separate GPS unit, the DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-40 2009 could be the answer you’re looking for. At only $70, you’ll be hard pressed to find a navigational device sporting a similar low price, and for that money you’ll acquire a navigator that boasts a USB-powered GPS receiver featuring a STMicroelectronics chipset, NavMode with an optional 3D viewing option, voice-guided navigation, automatic rerouting and route creation, and over 4 million POIs. The LT-40 2009 also utilizes DeLorme ConstantLock technology for effective signal acquisition in tough environments and maps of the US, Canada, and well-traveled parts of Mexico.

The DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-40 2009 is available from Amazon.
