Good hardware, really poor software and support.
by Silb482 on November 21, 2010
Pros: Overwelming functions and has a lot of potential.
Cons: Terrible support, miss-leading information provided by customer support, inadequate manuals for software (TOPO or PN-60 device) and software bugs. Forget about using it for driving navigation, too hard.
Summary: Would be a great product if properly supported and made more user friendly. Just to much of a headache to use and trace faults down on the forum instead of ...

Summary: Would be a great product if properly supported and made more user friendly. Just to much of a headache to use and trace faults down on the forum instead of customer support. I suggest going with something else that is properly R&D'd prior to hitting the market for this price.

GOOD HARDWARE - REALLY BAD USER INTERFACE

Pros: RUGGED, ACCURATE, GOOD BATTERY LIFE

Summary: I've had the PN-60 for about a year now. On the positive it is powerful, rugged, and accurate. I'm very happy with the hardware. On the down side there is one hell of a learning curve to get it to do what you want. I've written user interface software for industrial equipment for many years and all I can say about the PN-60 user interface is - it sucks. The software folks must smoke a lot of funny stuff at DeLORME because setting up the PN-60 is convoluted and frustrating. They have known bugs in the firmware that don't get fixed - the response when you call is "maybe next release". The same problems haunt DeLORME's Topo 9 mapping software - it's difficult to use. The PN-60 and Topo 9 communicate with each other like an estranged couple. After a year of ownership I can now pretty much get the PN-60 set up to my satisfaction before heading off on a trek - and download information when I get home. At times I still have to refer to my extensive notes and every now if I'm not very careful the PN-60 will bestow on me a "got-ya".

Take your time learning this one and you'll be fine
by mysticowner on May 7, 2012
Pros: Excellent maps available. Small screen but works well when used for hiking, hunting, fishing etc. Would want a larger screen for road trips. You will always know where you are and the airel view is super for knowing exactly where you are.
Cons: Small screen. It is a bit heavy to learn in the beginning. Don't buy it the day you need to use it. It took me about 3 days to really feel comfortable with it and load the maps I needed. It's a wonderful unit
Summary: A fine unit with a wealth of maps available. I would buy it again.
I used it all last hunting and fishing season, no issues at all.

Excellent Product with plenty of bells and whistles
by woodlandwalker on December 7, 2010
Pros: Easy navigation with new screen icons. Light weight, Good battery life. Paired with the SPOT (w version of PN 60) is an awesome tool for keeping in touch back country. Love this product.
Cons: Had to re-upload some aerial photo map selections when upgrading from Topo 8.0 to 9 but only took a short time.
Summary: I use and teach search & rescue, back country navigation from cub scout level all the way up to fire & police departments and the PN series of GPS's ...

Summary: I use and teach search & rescue, back country navigation from cub scout level all the way up to fire & police departments and the PN series of GPS's are by far my favorite to use and teach with. The PN-60w SE is by far the best I have used yet in hand held units and the TOPO 9 with the map subscription is indispensible.

- Description: The rugged, reliable Earthmate PN-60 delivers next-generation GPS capabilities, plus DeLorme's market-leading map and aerial imagery displays. A green arrow shows your location on the screen map, and points in your direction of travel. For screen orientation, you can select north up, course up, or heading up. The PN-60 will automatically collect a track as you travel. You can save the collected track, use it to create a route, and (when you're back home) convert it to a routable road or trail within Topo North America. Create waypoints with the click of a button, select from a vast menu of symbol options for the appropriate waypoint icon and add descriptive comments. With the PN-60's search capability, you can locate cities and towns, roads, trails, natural features, points of interest including businesses, restaurants, campgrounds, and much more; any search result can be saved as a waypoint. Create road routes or direct point-to-point routes on the device, or easily import road or trail routes from Topo North America. When navigating on a route, the PN-60 emits audible turn alerts (your choice of numerous sounds - ring, beep, whistle, etc.).
