DeLorme Earthmate GPS review

 

DeLorme Earthmate GPS

Solid receiver; reasonably priced; can be worn on your belt or easily mounted in your vehicle.

Bulky; could use a style makeover.

The versatile Earthmate connects wirelessly to your PDA or laptop via a USB cable, but it misses the mark in the coolness category.

Zombieland - Woody Harrelson Battles Zombies
