Reviews and Testimonials:
Backpacker Magazine
“With the DeLorme PN-20, imagery is
king. Download super-detailed topo, street, and aerial maps onto the 1GB
memory card.”
Army
Times
“Priced at just under $370, software
included, with a host of features usually reserved for pricier GPS
models, it might just replace whatever you’re using now.”
The N.Y. Times & International Herald Times
“Off-road, where there are no
pre-mapped tracks, most hand-held GPS systems show your current
coordinates, along with major landmarks like streams and mountains, and
keep track of the paths you have followed. They don’t tell you what the
terrain is like, or what is beyond the next hill or bend.
But the DeLorme Earthmate GPS PN-20
knows, displaying topographical maps - with elevation profiles,
campgrounds and trails as well as streets and highways - as realistic
3-D flyover simulations, or as bird’s-eye aerial or satellite views
showing landmarks.
The DeLorme Topo USA 6.0 DVD software,
with topological and road maps of the United States and major-highway
maps of the world, is included in the $370 price of the PN-20.
Roads can be superimposed on topological maps and aerial imagery
downloaded from the Web and stored in a 75-megabyte user memory or
optional SD cards up to 2 gigabytes.
The 2.2-inch, daylight-readable display
can show trip details, compass headings, rising and setting times of the
sun and moon, and local tide schedules.”
PC World
“What separates the PN-20 from the
crowd is its ability to store and display topographic, aerial,
and satellite images…the PN-20 is a fine navigation device. I
found its color screen exceptionally
easy to see in bright sun …Exchanging maps, waypoints, track details,
and other mapping
information between the PN-20 and the Topo USA application is a snap
…The PN-20 should appeal
to kayakers, hikers, hunters, mountain bikers, and other outdoor-sport
enthusiasts.”
National Geographic Adventure Magazine, May
2007
“Think Google Earth for the palm of
your hand.”
