Delorme PN-40 Is Nice But Not For Me
Well I had an Delorme Earthmate PN-40 which I liked a lot. It had good accuracy from what I could tell but I never really got the chance to use it. The first time I got very short battery life. I returned it and they repaired it. The second time I got it back and it just didn’t power on. Then I received it again and If I had to guess I put the batteries in backwards and it didn’t work. The markings are all but impossible for me to see. I am returning it for a refund which I’m very disappointed to do but I just don’t see it working out for me.
It seemed to be on par with my Garmin 60csx as far as getting and holding a lock on satellites. The screen is smaller but very bright and clear and I could see it just as well as the 60csx. I will surly consider any other GPS Delorme may come out with. The best thing about it is the maps are included with the GPS unlike some of the other hand held GPSrs where they are an additional cost (and not cheap.)
