There are nine buttons near the bottom and below the screen, some are direct commands for action and others are for moving around and within various pages. The PN-60 is the third in the Earthmate series I've purchased and used. Most winters I've been out snowshoeing a few times at the low end of the stated range but not since I got the PN-60. I don't expect to operate outside this range either very often. Operating temperature range for the PN-60 is -20 C (-4 F) to +75 C (167 F).


Holds up to 10 tracks (20,000 points per track), 1,500 user-defined waypoints, and 100 routes endlessly expandable via GPX transfer to SD cards Supports SDHC high-capacity SD-cards - up to 32 GB Memory & Storage = 3.5 GB internal flash memory, If I turn the PN-60 off and drive 60 mi ( 97 km) then getting "3D" position seems to take several minutes but is probably close to the 60 seconds stated for a cold start by DeLorme.ĭeLorme states Positional GPS accuracy as: "

I have noticed that if I turn the unit off, say for a lunch break or to change batteries, acquisition is very quick. There is an Optional Travel Power Kit with DeLorme-supplied rechargeable Li-Ion battery Power is supplied by 2 AA batteries - I've used alkaline and Lithium (not mixed) Sensitive barometric altimeter - which I've never used Waterproof (IPX7) I don't know what the IPX7 means but I have continued to use the PN-60 in hard rainstorms with no problemsģ-axis electronic compass - when calibrated closely agrees with my magnetic compass, allowing for declination Measured Weight: 5.4 oz (153 g) without batteriesĦ.3 oz (179 g) with two AA Energizer Lithium batteriesĭevice dimensions: 2.43 in x 5.25 in x 1.5 in (6.17 cm x 13.34 cm x 3.81 cm )ĭisplay screen dimensions: 1.35 in x 1.69 in (3.4 cm x 4.3 cm ) With Li-Ion rechargeable battery: 6.7 oz (190 g) with alkaline AA batteries: 7.00 oz. Listed Weight: Without batteries: 5.35 oz (152 g) I'm slowly learning what lighter gear works. Now my pack weighs between 22 and 32 lb (10 and 15 kg). Since then I have made one- and two-week trips in Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Florida. My starting pack weight was 70 lb (32 kg) with food but no water. My gear was cheap, heavy and sometimes painful. I started backpacking in 1979 with two weeks in northern Michigan along the Lake Superior shore.
