Delorme August 28, 2010 B. Tinker (Campobello N.B.) The GPS works good and is easy enough to operate but the battery is a piece of crap.It doesn't last nearly as long as it should.I cannot get a full days use from mine.This would not be a problem if it took standard batteries,you could carry spares,but, it takes a specialized battery built specifically for this unit.
Great Suction mount. August 25, 2010 Rob G (WOBURN, MA United States) The mechanism for the suction mount is great. Much better grip and easier to use than any other GPS I have used. Only drawback is how difficult it is to get GPS in and out of cradle; it is tough. Definitely no worries about it falling out.
Super Device May 22, 2010 Oliver Brooks (Bath NH, USA) Great product. Still learning all it can do. Ordering was easy, delivery was fast. Installation was a snap.
Not a best ever gift, sigh... May 17, 2010 Cynthia Perry (Pendleton, OR USA) I bought this for my husband as a gift and we weren't 100% pleased. First, no instructions for assembly were present, just the product picture on the package and it took hubby a couple of tries to get it together properly. Secondly and most importantly, the fit on the GPS was so tight it was almost impossible to insert or remove his DeLorme Earthmate PN-40 Handheld GPS (1:100k Topographic, Detailed Street Maps & POIs Included) from the holder without fear of breaking the plastic! It shouldn't fall out of the holder, but it doesn't need to be THAT tight either! We were actually afraid that once inserted in the holder, we would not be able to remove the GPS again, or at least not without a struggle. Perhaps a holder with a locking mechanism, so that the GPS can be easily inserted, then locked down, then released when you need to take it out of the holder would be an easier design to use?
We managed to rig a way to hold the GPS without inserting it fully into the holder using a hairband, but it's neither as safe or as satisfactory as a holder that fit the device properly would have been.
On the plus side, the suction appears to hold firmly to his windshield and he likes having the GPS mounted in his car. Basically not a bad product, just needs improvement on the GPS holder. If we could get the GPS in and out of the holder easily, this would have been a 5-star review.
Ram windshield mount for PN-40 April 17, 2010 R. Woodman (The West) Absolutely beautiful! Perfect. I love it. I have owned RAM products in the past and have always been impressed.
