Earthmate Lowers GPS Price
Delorme, which introduced Global Positioning Systems (GPS) for laptop computers in the 1990s, has introduced a new device, the GPS LT-20, which offers a navigation system for $99.95.

The device plugs into the user’s laptop PC, which provides the GPS display. Street Atlas USA software is included. The system guides travelers with voice navigation, back-on-track routing, a high-contrast screen setting to overcome in-vehicle glare, and large arrows and directions to point out upcoming turns. The street and road atlas includes more than 4 million points of interest. The Earthmate GPS LT-20 is available at computer retail stores and directly from Delorme online at www.delorme.org or by calling (800) 561-5105.

Internet Service Targets RVers

With the Manual-Flyer, the user sets up the system and aligns the dish toward the StarBand satellite after reaching a destination.
