delorme gps

Does anyone know if the Garmin 350 works as a gps receiver with delorme street atlas plus 2007?

GPS receivers will work only with maps made by their manufacturer. TomToms only use TomTom maps, DeLormes only use DeLorme maps, and so on. You will have to use Garmin's City Navigator NT product.

Edit: I re-read your question. Do you want to use the 350 as a GPS receiver feeding coordinates to the DeLorme software on the laptop? I don't think the nuvi line is capable of sending NMEA data, which is the data that would be used by the mapping software on the laptop.

revision3.com Portable GPS device, combines both a satellite communicator and GPS in one device. Figure out where you are, send messages to say ...

I already have streets and trips, and i'm looking at buying Earthmate with GPS... and I wanted to see if the GPS works with both softwares for sure.

PLEASE Dont answer if you dont absolutely know. No "sure, why not?" and "i dont know" and "probably." Answer only if you know for sure. Dont Assume.

NO! The GPS doesn't work with any Microsoft software....go figure. It would probably crash....lol. It will work with Street Atlas though. Below is a link with the software that will work with the GPS. Go to the bottom left of the page to find the list...

You can have a LOT of fun with any handheld GPS, including that one!!

First off, there is no subscription cost. A GPS is like a radio, except instead of listening to radio stations, it's listening to satellites that are broadcasting time & location signals. It uses these signals to figure out where in the world you are standing.

One of my favorite things to do with a GPS is called Geocaching. It's a treasure hunt, that other people set up. They hide a little cache, where normal passersby will not see it, and post the GPS coordinates on a global web site.

You look on the website for caches in your area, punch the coordinates into your GPS, pack a lunch, and head off on a treasure hunt! Usually you do something at the cache, like write your initials and date on a small piece of paper, and then replace it. Many caches have you leave a small toy, and take one with you.

A good place to get started on the hobby (and find caches near you) is:

Wikipedia has a good article on this too:

Another thing I like to do with my GPS is to take it camping or hiking. It will show me where trails are, and will remember my campsite, so I can't get lost.

I've also used one to find locations in strange cities when I'm travelling. Many GPS's let you punch in an address, and will give you street directions.

I want to get into geocaching. I am looking at the Delorme PN-40 or Oregon 400T. Is one way better than the next? Is there another cooler GPS that I'm overlooking?

FYI, I'm a gadget nut who will be doing this with my 4y/o. I would like the unit to be accurate (WAAS enabled), weatherproof and have features to make my first venture into geocaching easier, I can't navigate by compass very well.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks you.

The PN-40 is an interesting possibility, but I've yet to hear any solid reports of anyone using one for caching. The Oregon is more caching oriented than the PN-40, but reports I've seen in forums and blogs are lukewarm. The most common unit among serious cachers seems to be the tried and true Garmin 60CSx, with street prices in the $250-300 range. It has all the features you are seeking, and costs considerably less than the Oregon. Good luck with your caching venture.
