Comments about DeLorme DeLorme Earthmate GPS PN-20:
Use the unit hunting, hiking and prospecting. Pretrip planning.\
Unit is solidly built and appears to be very durable.
Was difficult to understand the manual at times and assumes the owner knows more that he/she really does. Better step by step graphic would help work one through the set up. Otherwise, am starting to enjoy this unit with use and appreciate it's features. Value appropriate for the price.
Greatest thing since sliced bread!
