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 Graph

Both 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 Status

Displays No Fix, 2-D, 3-D or 3-D W when WAAS is available. Appears in upper left corner.

Time

Displays current GPS Time in upper right corner.

Elevation

Elevation 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 GPS

There 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-30:

• » 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 DOQQ 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:

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:

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.

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.

Transferring Map Data to the Earthmate GPS PN-30

The Earthmate GPS PN-30 comes equipped with an overview-level base map showing world and U.S. coverage. While this provides a great view of a large area, chances are you will want a highly detailed view of topographic and street maps for hiking, geocaching, and other outdoor activities.

Those can be transferred to the Earthmate GPS PN-30 directly from the four included U.S. map data discs (West, Central, East, U.S. and Canada/Mexico Regions). See the Maps & Imagery tab for more details.

For those times when you may not have the software with you but have Internet access, we also offer an online map cutter for Earthmate GPS PN-30—Visit http://data.delorme.com. You must have an Internet connection to use this Web site. You can transfer many types of data such as satellite imagery, aerial imagery, USGS Topo Quad maps, and more. Maps can be saved in internal memory or on a removable memory (SD) card (in the Maps directory).

Storing Data on the PN-30

The Earthmate GPS PN-30 stores tracks, routes, waypoints, and the base map data in its internal memory.

Maps that are transferred to the Earthmate can be saved in internal memory or on a removable SD card (even high-capacity up to 32 GB) located under the battery compartment.
