The Earthmate PN-40 GPS represents a new breed of handheld GPS receiver. Incorporating the latest DeLorme GPS technology and rugged enough to endure the harshest conditions imaginable, the PN-Series devices are ideally suited for serious work or play.
For over 30 years, the DeLorme name has been synonymous with both superior quality maps and innovative spatial technology. These paths have converged with the PN-40, resulting in a truly unique and feature-laden GPS receiver that is an ideal mobile complement to DeLorme’s XMap professional mapping and GIS software suite.
“There are a batch of handheld GPS units on the market, but I’ve never seen one that is as fast as this new DeLorme model, has a clearer screen or offers such flexibility in downloading everything from topo maps to aerial photographs of the areas you’ll be traversing.”
Detroit Free Press, December 4, 2008
Virtually any map or data layer created by or imported into XMap can be copied and transferred to the PN-40 for use in the field. Data formats supported include:
- Shapefiles, CAD files, and other vector data layers imported into XMap’s OpenSpace format
- Seamless USGS 1:24,000 quad sheets and NOAA navigational charts
- XMap USA Topographic maps combining contours and elevation with updated roads and streets
- Satellite and aerial imagery downloaded through XMap’s NetLink tool
- Third-party imagery and other raster layers in MrSID and GeoTIFF format
- Images and maps layers created using XMap’s image registration process
DeLorme’s new Map Library subscription service is now available for XMap users and offers unlimited downloads of USGS Quads, NOAA charts, and aerial and satellite imagery — all for under $30 per year. This downloaded map data is yours to keep and it can be viewed in XMap and on the PN-40 GPS receiver.
The PN-40 provides fully functional mobile mapping solutions with on-device route creation as we
ll as road and backcountry navigation. Use the Waypoint tool to catalog, name, and symbolize key field locations for subsequent downloading and integration into an XMap GIS layer. Create waypoints based on GPS location, selected map location, or by entering known coordinate values. Record track files to monitor movement and trip details or to map linear features such as a new roads, trails, or property boundaries.
Contained in a waterproof impact-resistant case and featuring an ultra-bright screen, the PN-40 is at home in almost any environment and is ideally suited for a wide variety of mobile professionals:
- Emergency responders
- Field technicians
- Utility crews
- Natural resource managers
- Law enforcement officials
- Civil engineers
- Land developers
Powerful enough to meet the demands of today’s mobile workforce, flexible enough to be equally at home in your vehicle or in the wilderness, intuitive enough to be easily learned by anyone, and affordable enough to fit the budget constraints of any company, agency, or organization, the Earthmate PN-40 GPS receiver combined with XMap is the ideal mapping GIS and GPS solution.
