Title: Only works with included software
Review: The GPS receiver works fine with the included nRoute software, but since the device supports only Garmin's proprietary communication protocol (it does NOT support NMEA, the standard protocol for GPS devices), the GPS 18 will not work with other mapping software such as Microsoft Streets and Trips or DeLorme Street Atlas. I find either of these two programs to be much easier to use than the included software, and am very dissapointed that this GPS receiver is not standards compliant, even though recievers made by Garmin in the past have been.
Is this product review negative?
