Never Get Lost Again!
When was the last time you wasted valuable travel time because you took a wrong turn in an unfamiliar location? Now there's an affordable and reliable solution -- the Earthmate GPS LT-20 receiver. The Earthmate GPS LT-20 is a high-performance, easy-to-use link to the satellite navigation technology of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Accessing these satellites is available for no additional charge. Earthmate, connected to a USB laptop PC, shows your real-time position on detailed Street Atlas USA maps anywhere in the U.S., so you will always know where you are and where you need to go. Do even more with your laptop PC by adding the Earthmate GPS LT-20 -- Global Positioning System technology now available for everyone.

Getting Started is Easy!
Plug the Earthmate GPS LT-20 into the USB port of your laptop PC. The low-power chipset draws power from your laptop, meaning no GPS batteries are needed. Install the Street Atlas USA 2006 software, choosing to load the entire second data disc onto your hard drive if you want. The software also includes over 4 million places of interest. Place the GPS as close to your front windshield as possible, ideally using the enclosed suction cup on the attached cable to hold the GPS against the glass. Click on the software GPS tab and you’ll see your position updated in real time on the maps as you drive. There are many custom GPS options included within the GPS tab.

Please note: the Earthmate LT-20 is not a stand-alone product, meaning it must be connected to your USB laptop in order to function. It is not for use with PDAs.

Street Atlas 2006 USA INCLUDED!
