The Earthmate PN-40 is a high-sensitivity, high-performance, bright-color-screen handheld GPS that offers an unrivaled selection of display options including up-to-date DeLorme Topo USA topographic maps, color aerial imagery, USGS 7.5-min. topographic quad maps, and NOAA nautical charts.
With its 32-channel STMicroelectronics Cartesio chipset and DeLorme ConstantLock technology, the PN-40 acquires satellite signals quickly and retains them in the most challenging GPS environments. Map and imagery displays are lightning-quick thanks to a powerful dual-core processor.
A three-axis electronic compass can be used with the PN-40 held in any position, while a barometric altimeter provides reliable altitude readings. The on-board base map includes major highways and thoroughfares worldwide plus secondary and connector roads in the U.S. Detailed U.S. street and topo maps can be selected from the included Topo USA software.
The PN-40 holds up to 1,000 user-defined waypoints, 50 routes, and 10 tracks. All can be easily received from or sent to the included Topo USA software. The device displays both road and trail routes automatically generated using Topo USA. Road routes and direct (point-to-point) routes also can be generated on the PN-40.
Available onboard Flash memory totals 500 MB and the PN-40 also supports high-capacity SD cards (SDHC) up to 32 GB. The 65K-color daylight-readable TFT screen provides clarity in any light conditions including direct sunlight. The PN-40 is WAAS-enabled, waterproof to IPX-7 standards, comes in a rugged, impact-resistant rubberized case, and weighs just over five oz.
A Complete Out-of-the-box Solution:
Unlike other GPS receivers that require additional map data purchases, the PN-40 comes with up-to-date DeLorme Topo USA mapping software in the package. This is the full version of Topo USA, with all its desktop and GPS capabilities included. Also in the package: East, Central, and West regional DVDs with detailed U.S. street and topo maps by state or region; a 1-GB SD card--ideal for large map and imagery transfers; a detailed user manual (disc not booklet), a Quick Start Guide, and two AA batteries. A $40 certificate is included for downloading sample supplementary datasets and then a new $29.95 Map Library annual subscription plan is offered for unlimited data downloads.
