    Pros: Works well with my PC and has been very helpful in areas where I don't know my way around.

    Cons: Requires someone to operate it unless you set up voice operation. The battery power pack worked once and then needed repair. It was beyound the warranty so I did the repair myself. Switch is so cheaply made that it has to fail very soon and Delorme doe

    It is a great idea, with great software... But it doesn't work.<br><br>They created this unit with a cheap on/off switch. Any slight jolt to the unit (going over a bump in the road or walking over rough territory) will cause the switch to move and turn the unit off.<br><br>You then have to turn it back on and re-establish communications with you handheld.<br><br>This unit worked once for me and then was no longer usable.<br><br>When I called Delorme, I was told that since it is out of its 60-day warranty I am SOL (my words.)<br><br>So, if you are looking for a quality unit, this one is not it... unless you have the skill to modify the unit yourself.<br><br>Oh, I almost forgot… They are willing to exchange the defective unit for a replacement – at 90 percent of the cost of a new one – GREAT DEAL!!!
