Too low to display
Overview
Here’s another reason to toss out those paper maps: the eMap. It’s the size of a small, flat calculator, contains a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver, and weighs a mere six ounces. Even with its compact style, the eMap boasts an extra-large display for showing even more map data and the same power you’ve come to expect from Garmin handhelds - even while operating for up to 12 hours on just two AA batteries.The eMap features an internal basemap containing information on North and South America including state and country boundaries, lakes, rivers, streams, airports, cities, towns, coastlines, and U.S., state, and interstate highways. In addition, the eMap provides exit information for the federal interstate highway system. With the eMap, you will know when you are near services such as food, lodging, and service stations.Designed with everyone in mind, this unit will take you from the car, to the hiking trail, to the beach without missing a beat.Garmin eMAP Deluxe includes a PC Interface cable and an 8MB Data Card.

Best of all handheld GPSes tested to date (2005)
THE BEST GPS HANDHELD DEVICE BAR NONE!
I've used Garmin's eMAP since 1998 for roadtrips and as a supplemental checkpoint aid during VFR cross country flights in my airplane. I have hook and loop fastener patches neatly mounted in my car and airplane to "slap on" the eMAP (it has the furry loop patch on its back) and I'm ready for a 300 mile flight or a drive across the great USA.
The SCREEN is better than any of the newer GPS color screens, because it's bigger and the greyscale is cr .... Read more

My favorite toy...
I have owned this unit for about 18 months and have absolutely no regrets. Yes, it did take a few weeks to learn how to use the unit, but it was well worth the time.
I found the easiest way to learn was to use it while navigating on long trips. By the time we got to our destination, I was an eMap expert. Want to find a decent restaurant along the way? Use the find/exits feature. Better yet, position the cursor on a major city and use find/points of interest/food. When traveling to Spring .... Read more

Not good for navigating streets, but fun for recreation
If you want to know exactly where you are, this is a great toy. If you want to figure out where you are going, this is useless.
I expected the GPS to be able to offer advanced features similar to what we have come to expect with GPS's built in to cars, or map websites on the internet (turn by turn directions). Or at least directions. Or at least finding addresses.
This was a disappointment, even with Garmin's map cds.
The fun part? I purchased some topographical map software from a .... Read more

Not useful in Euorpe. Customer service stinks.
This is a nice unit, and it is interesting to read the glowing reviews of customers who have owned the Garmin eMap for two or three weeks. I have owned the unit for over a year. It works well in the US. It will not guide you street by street to a location, but it will guide you "as the crow flys." You get a straight line between you and the destination. It works.
It does not work well in Europe. I purchased the UK and French CDs. I installed them on the memory card and used them in England, Wa .... Read more

Mostly happy
Although I've been very happy for my eMap that I got for Christmas, I've been frustrated with the lack of documentation. The documentation for the unit (there is also a guide to the PC software) is limited to a quick start sheet and a slim printed "manual" - which contains little more information than the quick start sheet, really.
Between the documentation and experimenting, I've managed to figure out most of the basic features of the unit. The less obvious features and indicators, howev .... Read more
