i'm a professional truck driver so i used this alot. worked very good for me. if your a truck driver make sure you set it to take highways mostly for your routing because if you dont it will take you through the back roads and if your in new york it could get you killed in a big truck.

DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-20 Street Atlas 2007 U.S.A./Canada Map CD-ROM (Windows) Review

I've been using a Garmin E-Trex for some driving navigation (not it's main purpose) for some time. Having wanted something better for driving, I saw this as an inexpensive solution to use my laptop and have large screen GPS navigation. In short, the active navigation direction (including voice) work pretty well, the large display (my laptop) is great, but the database and route management tools lack.
Having only used this H/W & S/W (the included Street Atlas) for a few days, I'm sure I haven't figured it all out. Still, I quickly found that the database only knows about one of the several Home Depot stores in my area. I looked for the hotel I'll be staying at on an upcoming trip, and it is not in the database. A two year old street in a newer nearby residential street is not present. In each of these cases, my Garmin MapSource s/w had these elements, and the level of detail and accuracy are better, too. I've found work arounds by creating waypoints where I know things I'll be going to are located (Delorme won't let me move an existing waypoint that I've created, so if it's not right, delete and recreate). I'll probably use it for such things as our RV traveling, but when I want to find the nearest hardware store... well most anything, I'll pull out my little E-Trex.

I have used DeLuo 31-311-01 USB Notebook GPS with mapping software and for Automatic Position Reporting with Ham Radio APRS and been satisfied with their performance. Then I purchased the 31-919-22 MouseGPS. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. It claims it can be either a mouse or a GPS, but not both at the same time. There is a switch on the bottom to select the mode. The mouse mode lasted ten minutes as I scrolled thru e-mail, then the axle for the scroll wheel sheared off and the wheel leaned left and rubbed on the case. A replacement MouseGPS did the same thing. The GPS function does not give a location most of the time. I have used DeLuo's own "GPS Diagnostics" and run this unit for twelve to sixteen hours waiting for it to find a location. Very rarely and only for a moment did it ever give a location. I even ran it beside DeLuo's own 31-311-01 notebook GPS. The 31-311-01 locked in on a location in a few minutes and stayed locked in. A replacement MouseGPS never locked onto a location.
Today 1-18-2010 none of the bookmarks I have for DeLuo work. Immediately I get a site not found message on all of them. I believe that their MouseGPS dragged them under and the company is gone. The 31-311-01 USB GPS has served me well and still works. The 31-919-22 MouseGPS never worked right and neither did the warranty replacement.
