DeLorme PN-40 review

Hands on with the DeLorme Earthmate PN-40

UPDATE: Two newer models have now been introduced, the DeLorme PN-60 and the DeLorme PN-60w.

The DeLorme Earthmate PN-40 updates the PN-20, which was already one of the most innovative GPS receivers out there. Quite simply, the PN-40 rocks, adding the following new features:

  • A dual-core processor makes map redraws and menu navigation very fast, correcting the biggest flaw in the PN-20
  • Tri-axial electronic compass (meaning there is no need to hold it dead level)
  • Barometric altimeter
  • SDHC high-capacity SD card support
  • A more detailed base map

When I started this site, way back in August 2005, I knew very little about blogging. So while I bought the gpstracklog.com domain, I used the TypePad subdomain, for some pretty stupid reasons.

Now it’s time to cut those ties and move completely over to gpstracklog.com, in preparation for even more changes. If all goes well, it should happen tonight and in the wee hours Thursday morning.

Can you hear / see me now?

With a little luck, you readers shouldn’t have to do much of anything. I would encourage you to update your bookmarks to gpstracklog.com. But the old links will still work, at least for the time being, and our RSS feed address should stay the same. If you do notice anything really weird or can’t access the site / feed for an extended period of time, please drop me a line at my richowings gmail address. Don’t forget to add the @ and the .com.
