Delorme or Microsoft??

I was fully prepared to buy the Delorme Earthmate GPS when I walked into Best Buy tonight, but there was also a Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005 with GPS locator. I have read everything here on the Delorme, but was wondering if anybody has used the Microsoft. I am interested in updated opinions on the Delorme also?

Thanks
Thomas
