Maps

Whatever your preferred activity, you’ll never have to settle for just one map. Find your position on up-to-date DeLorme Topo North America (included). Navigate worry-free with complete U.S. and Canada topographic detail, extensive trail coverage, U.S. and Canada streets, roads, and places of interest including campgrounds, boat launch sites, unique natural features, prime hunting and fishing spots. Also includes MapPack including all of the 1:50k Canadian Topo maps!

The PN-60w comes with up-to-date DeLorme Topo North America map detail included, both on PN-Series Map DVDs (Mac-compatible) for transfer to the GPS, and in a PC desktop software program.

For more variety and detail, a low cost subscription to the unique DeLorme Map Library ("MapPack") entitles you to unlimited amounts of high-resolution U.S. color aerial imagery, USGS 1:24,000 topo quads, 1:50,000 Canada topos, and NOAA nautical charts. For additional color aerial imagery of the U.S. and the world, Digital Globe data – the same imagery used by Google Maps and major news organizations – is available via premium subscription and a la carte purchase. You can also get a la carte downloads from the DeLorme World Base Map, offering consistent global detail including topography, land cover, place names, major roads, and more.

The PN-60w supports all popular outdoor activities. Features include a highly-accurate 3-axis electronic compass that works when held in any position, moving on foot or standing still. For traveling in elevation, there is an elevation profile tool that pinpoints your location and a sensitive barometric altimeter for precise elevation readings and the ability to gauge potential weather changes. These elevation features are particularly useful for hikers, climbers, and hunters. The ability to display NOAA nautical charts make the PN-60w a valuable navigator for sea kayaking and coastal sailing.

The PN-60w fully supports paperless geocaching, and offers almanac pages with information on tides, hunting and fishing favorability, and sunrise/sunset and moon phases.

Geocaching

DeLorme has devoted significant resources toward offering a rewarding geocaching experience. In addition to the unique value of available aerial imagery, the PN-60w delivers a wide range of paperless geocaching capabilities.

Individual caches can be downloaded, with all information included, from Geocaching.com. The PN-60w and Topo USA also support imports of high volume Pocket Queries from Geocaching.com, and they allow virtually unlimited cache description character counts, so you’ll have all the information you need on the device, including other cachers’ log notes.

The optional DeLorme Cache Register download delivers enhanced paperless geocaching functions. Sync your Pocket Query search results directly to the PN-60w, and sync your user logs and other cache details to Geocaching.com.

Customize the PN-60w to meet your needs

You can customize the PN-60w’s Information Page for your trip so that everything you want to know is all on one screen – time or distance to next turn or finish (if navigating on a route), distance traveled (odometer), trip time, speed, battery life, GPS accuracy, and much more.
You can also create custom set-ups for quick access to the PN-60w screens and features you want for your favorite activities

Effortless track, waypoint, and route management

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-60w 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 USA.
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-60w’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 USA. When navigating on a route, the PN-60 emits audible turn alerts (your choice of numerous sounds – ring, beep, whistle, etc.).
