NEW Earthmate GPS® Receiver
Ready for Today… Ready for Tomorrow
Now get the improved accuracy of WAAS-enabled GPS positioning using the versatile new Earthmate GPS USB receiver.
The new NMEA-compliant Earthmate GPS can be powered directly from a USB laptop so no batteries are needed. (A separate serial cable and other accessories will be available.)
At the heart of the new Earthmate GPS is the SiRFstar IIe low-power chipset, with cold-start times of less than 45 seconds and special technology providing improved GPS tracking in weak signal conditions. This chip set requires 75% less power to operate than comparable GPS chips.
Combine the Earthmate with XMap 4.0 for the ultimate in GPS tracking - track assets or event history, import your own data or choose from a wide variety of DeLorme datasets.
Use the Earthmate with Street Atlas USA 2006 Plus - a great tool for business research and market analysis or track your vacation road trip, add your own favorite RV repair shops, and more.
Earthmate GPS includes a built-in LED that transitions through the various satellite acquisition modes: red for searching, yellow for two satellites in view, and green for at least three satellites in view. Earthmate GPS is a 12-channel NMEA-compliant receiver.
