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 topographic maps, color
aerial imagery, USGS 1:24,000. topographic quad maps, and marine charts, and NOAA nautical
charts (all available via download from the DeLorme Map Library for a low-cost annual subscription)
and Navionics® lake and marine charts (sold separately on SD cards).
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, moving or standing
still, 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.
The PN-40 supports paperless geocaching, with direct send-to-GPS from Geocaching.com, and a
virtually unlimited character count for cache descriptions and other cachers’ log notes. On the device,
geocaches are separate from other waypoints. And, an exclusive DeLorme widget called Cache
Register (sold separately at www.delorme.com) enables synchronization to the device of Pocket
Query results from geocaching.com, and field notes to Geocaching.com.
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 IPX7 standards,
comes in a rugged, impact-resistant rubberized case, and weighs just over five oz.
Included with the PN-40:
Unlike other GPS receivers that require additional map data purchases, the PN-40 comes with up-todate
DeLorme PN-Series topographic maps on DVDs, for fast easy transfers to the receiver from PCs
or Macs. DeLorme Topo USA PC mapping software is also included for desktop planning, route
creation, GPS data exchanges, and more. This is the full version of Topo USA, with all its desktop
and GPS capabilities included.
