Woooow! Maybe it will lead to improved products? I'm the perpetual optimist!

Sounds like a great fit. You have two great company's merged into one. Cant wait to see what comes next.

I love my garmin handheld, wish the maps were cheaper. I have zero experience with delorme though.

Biggest loss was DeLorme's customer service. They were a great small company. You actually talked to a knowledgeable person in the US. Imagine that!!! With the advent of InReach, Garmin saw a small competitor really making a name for itself and gaining a larger market share. Garmin is huge and definitely not known for customer service. Their maps are so so and very expensive. Corporate focus of late has been on wrist mounted gps technology for fitness, not navigation. I miss DeLorme.
