At the heart of the new Earthmate 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 chips.
Many customers have reported start-up times under 5 seconds! Now you can access
the type of premium performance GPS tracking found in high-end systems at new
low price points.
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.
Never Get Lost Again
When was the last time you wasted valuable travel time because you took a wrong
turn in an unfamiliar location? Now there's an affordable and reliable solution-the
new Earthmate GPS receiver. The small and flexible Earthmate GPS receiver
is a high-performance, easy-to-use link to the satellite navigation technology
of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Accessing these satellites is available
for no additional charge. Earthmate, connected to a USB laptop PC, shows
your real-time position on detailed Street Atlas USA maps anywhere in the
U.S. You will always know where you are and where you need to go.
Also Available for Handhelds, PDA's and Bluetooth Wireless

Your small investment in Earthmate GPS today will be one that grows with you for years to come. Because of the device's removable cabling and other design factors, Earthmate GPS is expandable to work with today's USB laptops and handheld computers, as well as many new display devices currently in development.
The new NMEA-compliant Earthmate GPS includes a convenient suction cup mount that attaches to the cable for secure in-vehicle positioning. The removable 6-foot cable allows flexibility for in-vehicle placement, as well as extendibility into a whole new world of current and future display devices. The USB connection powers the receiver so batteries are not needed. (NOTE to serial laptop users: A separate serial 12-volt power cable and other power accessories are available.)
Typical GPS accuracy average is 15 meters. WAAS-corrected GPS signals can provide accuracy of less than 3 meters 95% of the time where available!
"Good functionality and very low price earned the Earthmate the Government Computer
News Lab's Bang-for-the-Buck designation. Because a notebook LCD is a lot bigger
than a typical handheld screen, the Earthmate was far easier to reference when
driving than other test units. The included software even had a high-contrast
setting, so I could read the map in sun glare. This definitely would be the best
device for drivers."
