Delorme GPS PN-20

Post by Flooder »

I saw that Bookisme had one at the BG M&E. I had been looking for a while and decided now was the time so I ordered one and it got it a couple days.

If anyone has any questions I'll be glad to do what I can to help answer them.

It is definitely a different animal. But I think it is going to be a good product.

After the BG M&E I figured out how to put the maps in. It holds 1,000 way points. Hope to take it out caching Saturday.

Now that is a review!

I am holding judgment until the next firmware release. (Which is now looking to be early May at the earliest. Two more weeks of development and then two weeks of QA). I did recently use it for driving. Went to St Louis last weekend had had maps and caches for the whole way. I thought it worked pretty good. I always like to know how many more miles and where I am. I also find it difficult to convince the wife to sit in the backseat so that my laptop can have it's normally place on the passenger side.

On the Technical side I have figured much of it out so if anyone gets stuck somewhere I should be able to help you out. It helps that I have been using Street Atlas for >10 years and Topo for as long as it has been out.

I also have a favoritism for companies from Maine. :)
