Page Order Settings Use to change the Page order, add a Page to the Page button sequence, and/or hide a Page. Owner Information Owner Information can be added to the device. The Satellite Page Once you turn on the Earthmate GPS PN-30, the Satellites Page displays. It informs you of your current GPS status, the number of satellites the Earthmate is acquiring data from, the signal strength, and the GPS accuracy (only available when a 2-D or 3-D fix is obtained). Satellite Constellation and Signal GraphBoth the satellite constellation and the satellite signal graph display visible satellites and their number (assigned by the Department of Defense). GPS Accuracy This screen will display GPS accuracy, in the lower-left corner of the screen, in feet or meters (according to the preference you have set). GPS accuracy is represented on the map by a circle with a radius equal to the GPS accuracy, allowing the user to see a representation of their accuracy in relation to their map scale. The accuracy of the Earthmate GPS PN-30 is 10 meters. GPS StatusDisplays No Fix, 2-D, 3-D or 3-D W when WAAS is available. Appears in upper left corner. TimeDisplays current GPS Time in upper right corner. ElevationElevation appears in the lower right corner based on current sensor settings. Battery Indicator The battery indicator is a graphic representation of the current available battery power. To Disable GPSThere are many features on the Earthmate GPS PN-30 that do not require a GPS fix. You can turn off the GPS connection using the Disable GPS option in the Satellites menu. The Map Page If a 2-D or 3-D fix is obtained, the Map Page displays the map data available for your current GPS location. If a GPS fix cannot be obtained, the location of your last GPS fix displays on the map. Map Data Earthmate GPS PN-30 comes standard with a base map showing high-level world and mid-level U.S. coverage. The base map cannot be removed from memory. There are several data types compatible with the Earthmate GPS PN-40: Topo USA Maps (blended topographic and detailed street-level maps) USGS 7.5-Minute Quad Maps High-Resolution Color Aerial Imagery NOAA Nautical Charts B&W Aerial Imagery Sat-10 Color Satellite Imagery The Compass Page The Compass Page provides a graphic representation of a traditional floating needle compass. It displays differently depending on if you are navigating (following a route) or tracking. The compass rotates so that the heading is always up. If you are navigating, the compass displays a bearing arrow, which points in the direction of the next stop in the route. The Trip Info Page The Trip Info Page contains eight information fields that occupy the entire screen (three information fields display if the Earthmate is in large-text mode). Each field is customizable with one of the many available information field options. The Find Page You can use the Find button (the button that displays with a magnifying glass) to search for Waypoints, Points of Interest, Natural Features, Addresses, Coordinates, Streets & Trails, Cities, and more. There are two Find search options: Find Near Map CenterUse the Find Near Map Center search option to search for categories of information (such as geographic features, waypoints, points of interest, etc.) near your current map center. The number of search results returned is based on the amount of search results available (not on distance). Find By NameUse the Find By Name search option to search for a specific location, such as a specific address, point of interest, etc. To narrow your search results, you can choose either the Contains or Begins with option to search for results that contain or begin with certain character(s). The Waypoints Page You can use the Mark button (the button that displays as a push pin) on the Earthmate GPS PN-30 to mark a waypoint at your current GPS location (or at the current cursor position if panning). Once a waypoint has been added, you can customize the waypoint name, coordinates, symbol, and comments. The device will store up to 1000 waypoints in internal memory. The Routes Page There are many ways to create routes on the Earthmate GPS PN-30. You can create a route: From your current GPS location to a waypoint From your current GPS location to a Find search result Between two waypoints Between two Find search results Between a waypoint and a Find search result Once you have created a route, view it on the map with the View option. The device will store up to 50 routes in internal memory. Routing is possible for both walking and in-vehicle situations, using either the direct or road routing settings. On-device routing for road routes should be used for fairly short routes, with longer routes best generated on the desktop in advance and transferred to the GPS. The on-device road routing is fine for cross-town and in-state routes and includes an audible beep warning before each turn, as well as the ability to recalculate routes when you stray off course. The Tracks Page Earthmate GPS PN-30 is set to record GPS tracks by default. That means that the device will create a track ("breadcrumb trail") of your travels until you turn recording off. The Tracks Page lets you save, clear, or follow the current track, or view/follow an existing track. The device will store up to 10 track logs (with a 10,000 point limit each) in internal memory. The Sun-Moon Page Use the Sun/Moon Page to view the sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset information as well as the moon phase information for your current GPS location. The current date and time also display at the top of the screen. Additionally, you can adjust the date and time to view sun-moon information for other times. The Tide Page Use the Tide Page to view high and low tide information based on a specific time, date, and tide station. Drawing & Symbol Sets DeLorme includes an extensive set of symbols within Topo USA. These include symbols from the DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer series, survey symbols, cartographic symbols, as well as the ability to create your own custom symbols using the included XSym tool. Complete geocaching symbols included. PN-20 Draw Symbols Draw Symbol Categories Measuring The on-device measuring tool lets you measure individual legs or cumulative, multiple legs. Measurements can be made on any of the available data types, including the imagery layers, which allow for precise measurements of property boundaries or for measurements between waypoints. Closing a measurement polygon will report the area of the measurement. Basic Functions The Earthmate GPS PN-30 is a battery-powered device. It can be powered by one rechargeable Lithium-ion battery or two AA batteries (NiCd, NiMH, alkaline, or lithium). Two AA batteries are included. On-Off The Power button is located at the bottom-right corner of the button area. To turn on the Earthmate, press and hold the Power button for 1.5 seconds. The Satellites Page is displayed by default. To turn off the Earthmate, press the Power button and then press the ENTER button to confirm you want to turn the Earthmate GPS PN-30 off. Button Use The buttons on the Earthmate GPS PN-30 provide you with access to all of the functionality on the device. Each button has a unique purpose: In/OutThe IN and OUT button lets you zoom in or zoom out on the map. PageThe PAGE button lets you scroll through all of the enabled "Pages." MenuThe MENU button provides access to a multitude of functionalities. Page Menus are divided into top and bottom sections that are separated by a line. The items in the top section are specific to the Page that is currently active. The items in the bottom section are standard menu options, which are available from any Page. FindThe FIND button is labeled with a magnifying glass and lets you search for a waypoint, address, coordinate, and more.
