More DeLorme PN-40 improvements forthcoming

UPDATE: Check out my hands-on DeLorme PN-40 review

DeLorme is previewing a bunch of new features, some of which are due in an upcoming firmware update for the PN-40:

• Geocaching improvements
• Send to GPS feature from Geocaching.com
• A "Cache Register" widget (image above) for Mac and PC for creating geocache queries and sync them to PN-series devices.
• PN-40s ship with 1:100K scale map discs that allow for easy transfer for Mac users
• Ability to download imagery directly from data.delorme.com (for Mac and PC users), bypassing the Topo USA interface
• POI layers

DeLorme is saying they'll meet the November 17 ship date for the PN-40. The data.delorme.com site is available now (and you can log in as a guest to check it out). They're going to try and get the firmware update out before Christmas.

More details at the DeLorme blog.

Thanks to Norman for the heads up.
