Delorme Earthmate PN-20 is the future way of GPS systems. Here is just a few reviews for you..

Earthmate PN-20 Reviews and Testimonials

Backpacker Magazine
[/align]"With the DeLorme PN-20, imagery is king. Download super-detailed topo, street, and aerial maps onto the 1GB memory card."
[/align][/align]
Army Times
[/align]"Priced at just under $370, software included, with a host of features usually reserved for pricier GPS models, it might just replace whatever you're using now."
[/align][/align]
The N.Y. Times & International Herald Tribune
[/align]"Off-road, where there are no pre-mapped tracks, most hand-held GPS systems show your current coordinates, along with major landmarks like streams and mountains, and keep track of the paths you have followed. They don't tell you what the terrain is like, or what is beyond the next hill or bend.
[/align]But the DeLorme Earthmate GPS PN-20 knows, displaying topographical maps - with elevation profiles, campgrounds and trails as well as streets and highways - as realistic 3-D flyover simulations, or as bird's-eye aerial or satellite views showing landmarks.
[/align]The DeLorme Topo USA 6.0 DVD software, with topological and road maps of the United States and major-highway maps of the world, is included in the $370 price of the PN-20. Roads can be superimposed on topological maps and aerial imagery downloaded from the Web and stored in a 75-megabyte user memory or optional SD cards up to 2 gigabytes. The 2.2-inch, daylight-readable display can show trip details, compass headings, rising and setting times of the sun and moon, and local tide schedules."

PC World
[/align]"What separates the PN-20 from the crowd is its ability to store and display topographic, aerial, and satellite images…the PN-20 is a fine navigation device. I found its color screen exceptionally easy to see in bright sun …Exchanging maps, waypoints, track details, and other mapping information between the PN-20 and the Topo USA application is a snap …The PN-20 should appeal to kayakers, hikers, hunters, mountain bikers, and other outdoor-sport enthusiasts."
