DeLorme Earthmate PN-40



DeLorme just announced Earthmate PN-40, their latest handheld GPS device which boasts a speedy dual core processor, a new GPS receiver chipset, and spacious 500MB internal flash memory which can be extended upto 32GB thanks to the SDHC card support.


Expected to hit the market as early as fall of this year Eartmate PN-40 really focused on delivering high speed map redraws…


As an example, I’ve been driving with high resolution color aerial imagery displayed on my device and have been tracking at a scale of 80 ft (very high detail) and haven’t noticed any lag time in map redraws… and that was traveling over 40 mph. While the color aerial imagery was impressive on the PN-20, I was never satisfied with the redraw time for imagery when traveling much faster than an average bike ride.


Here are the rest of the features:



  • Super high-sensitivity 32-channel Cartesio chipset by STMicroelectronics delivers near-instantaneous signal acquisition and ConstantLock™ satellite retention

  • Dual-core processor for rapid screen re-draws, even with large aerial imagery files

  • 500 MB of onboard Flash memory (1 GB total hard drive)

  • 3-axis electronic compass with included accelerometer performs when held in any position—while in motion or standing still

  • Sensitive barometric altimeter for reliably accurate altitude readings

  • Supports SDHC high-capacity SD cards—32 GB or higher

  • USB 2.0 data transfer to internal memory or SD card in device

  • More detailed onboard base map data for the U.S., now with secondary and connector roads (along with major highways and thoroughfares for the entire world)

  • 2.2″ 65K-color daylight-readable TFT screen for clarity in any light conditions

  • Topo USA 7.0 software with complete U.S topo and street maps included—no extra purchase required. Also displays USGS 7.5-min quads, aerial imagery, and NOAA nautical charts via online download from DeLorme
