I could make no suggestions regarding bug cleanup whatsoever. When they first came out there were some real my Chevy is better than your Ford rows over on the forums between DeLorme and Garmin users. But, that is probably true of the other brands. I have never felt that they leave me with unfulfilled usages. The DeLorme PN-20 was my first GPSr then -40 and now -60. I did another excercise for a trip through the Grand Staircase of the Escalante that I made before I had a GPSr and recreated it with the aerial photos, the USGS 3DTQs and the DeLorme topos. Additionally, I just checked my collection of USGS 3DTQs, also available as part of the subscription, and they do show all of those roads. Therefore, my activity was to show how the aerial photograpy can be used to supplement by drawing in those trails and then loading them onto the PNs to follow as bread crumbs. It was coincidental as I have 4W'd in that area decades ago, before the advent of the GPSrs, and always made it through and was familiar with it. A new user could not find all those 4WD trails on the DeLorme Topo North America 9.0 maps that are in the box with the PN-60s and he posted his disappointment there. Yes, that is how the subject came up on the DeLorme forum. The Magellan GPS data format, however, is just not the one that caught on, so either the Garmin or the DeLorme products are perhaps the best choices for now. There are many sites on the Net that have Magellan Meridian tricks and hacks, so I should be able to keep her running for awhile. I'm saving up my pennies to try and acquire a Garmin 62s as my next personal GPS receiver, but I'll hang on to my Platinum until the buttons fall off. Tom Tom products are for city-folk in pavement-only vehicles, in my opinion. I haven't had occasion to work with any Nuvi products at all, so I don't know anything about them.

Their Earthmate series of products comes highly recommended, although I personally do not use them at this time.

Using the Garmin DNR software in conjuction with another free application, GPS Babel, gives one the flexibility to move GPS data in and out of many different mapping software programs:ĭeLorme products are a good choice at the consumer price level. The use of these are taught in Incident Command System classes for the Wildland Fire GISS Position. This hardware/software combination is what many Fire and LE agencies use for their GPS field data gathering. The best part about using the Garmin receivers that they have a free software application available to them developed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources called Garmin DNR: However, the majority of our Fire and LE personnel have Garmin GPS receivers.

All of our GIS is done in ESRI ArcGIS software, pretty much the professional standard.

Hey! I too have a Magellan Meridian Platinum! Love it, but she's showing her age (like I ain't!) I actually like the monochromatic display as I feel it reads better in harsh sunlight.Īt work, we use Trimble Geo XT's and XM's with Trimble's GPS Pathfinder Office software to extract the GPS data. To remove these landmarks is dangerous to the serious hiker/explorer in my opinion. on my gps when out in the back country of AZ. If this is true then I would have to load them from another program as waypoints and not part of the topo maps on the new unit. I have read several reviews that said they have pulled most of the old mining sites etc. I am looking at the Delorme PN-60 and the $99.00 software that they put out for their units. It also has every old mine and spring in Arizona on it.

The software is from 2001 and has every two-track in northern Michigan on it.

My old Magellan came with MapSend Topo and I can say it was and is awesome. Now I am looking for a new one and in my research I have ran into a few questions about the mapping software. I use it for work now and she owes me nothing. Always been great but after 9 years or so it fails to read the data card anymore. I have had a Magellan meridian platinum gps since they came out.
