Delorme LT-20 software can turn your laptop into a powerful GPS tracking device with its high-performance, easy-to-use link to the satellite navigation technology of the Global Positioning System (GPS). This new compact and powerful GPS unit is one of the smallest in the market. It comes with an attached to hold the GPS device against the windshield. How does it work? Just plug in the device into the USB port of your laptop and do some software installation and you are done! It has the ability to create address-to-address routes in the US, calculate overnight stops and fuel stop including fuel costs, select high-contrast map colors for improved in-vehicle visibility, spoken directions and issue spoken commands via the microphone. The 12 channel, low power chipset provides improved GPS tracking in weak signal conditions, plus a cold start time of less than 45 seconds. The Earthmate LT-20 GPS System is a powerful in-vehicle GPS tracking device that will only cost you USD50 and USD49.95 for the Street Atlas USA 2006 mapping software.
