Hi Don,
I'm late on this thread for reasons you know. My experience with the
EarthMate on signal acquisition is good when I'm walking. On buses
where I use it daily, it seems to take longer than the Sportrak does to
acquire a signal. Mike told me that it is more sensitive, and I suspect
this is a factor. Besides this fact, if there is tint in the window of
the bus, this can adversely affect things. After Mike told me this, I
inquired the driver on this matter. He stated that there was some tint,
not much, some buses have more tint where I currently reside. So who
really knows? I do like the fact that the receiver is small; I leave
everything connected and just turn the receiver on when I'm ready to use
it. The Sportrak is larger, and I was fearful of either stepping on it,
or someone else doing so.
Best Regards,
Les

These things are often hard to really compare, but do you think the
accuracy is any better than the sportrak? How about the ability to
obtain a good satellite
fix?

I am so accustomed to calling things by their company names that when I
talk about the "delorme" it means the earthmate. Yep it is just a
marvelous receiver. I like everything about the thing, especially the
ability to recharge the battery. Mary Ellen Earls
