Here is a pdf of the manual. It has been passed by by GPSr's with mapping, electronic compasses, usb interfaces and high sensitivity receivers. How is it? You can find caches with it. I did probably a 100 or so with a GPS 48 which is a marine version of the GPS 12. Just don't expect to have great reception under trees. Thanks alot yea it was a freebe to him so that's cool!

My friend has a garman gps 12 and I was wondering how to download searches to it. He doesn't have the manual or anything but when I got my Earthmate pn-20 I had problems how to get stuff from the computer to it but someone gave direction and I was in . Could you'll help us out and how is the Garman 12!

That is cool!

There is people that has a map in there profile of the u.s and the stste they live in. they can highlight where they have found caches in different states and counties. I really like that,but can't find where and how to post it in my profile.HELP PLEASE

I put out my first cache last weekend and someone sent a email telling me they couldn't find it. Can the coordinates didn't add up. Could the +/- of feet be different and lead you to stray? Mine could be +/- 14 and his be +/- 27 would it lead you wrong?

I checked in at the park office where i Live Rocky Fork State Park in Hillsboro Ohio and the told me you need a Permit to place them and you have to give the Coordinates also. Just thought I would pass it along!

I'm a premium member and really like the perks! My question is if I change my username will I still have my membership? Being it is under my old username?

Hello, and welcome to the addiction. Unfortunatly, the only way to send coordinates to the PN-20 is using one of Delorme's mapping programs (Topo USA or XMap). You may have gotten Topo USA with your PN-20. The only other way is to enter them manually one at a time. You might want to check out Delorme's Forums for more help. Perhaps some day Delorme will see the error of their ways and allow (help) third partys (GPSBable) to download to the PN-2 TBC thanx i will try that. Actually DeLOrme makes it pretty easy to import GPX files downloaded from gc.com......you are a premium member so do a query for your area of interest. When you download the query, unzip it and put the gpx file in the Delorme Docs/export folder which, by delfault is located in the root of your hard drive. Open your topo 7 program, click on the Draw Tab. Then on the bottom of that window to the right of the symbols, click on File. The little window that opens shows all the draw layers you have associated with the current map, if any. On the right side of that window, click in Import and that will open a popup window showing the "export" folder where you just placed you GPX file. Choose the file you wish to use and click on open. You can rename the GPX file prior to adding it or you can rename it after it is added to you list of draw files. Click on Done on the right side of the screen and your GPX file is saved to the list of draw files. Click on the little square box to the left of the file you just added to set a check mark in it,. Just above the list of draw files, you will see the Up and Down arrows on the divider line.....click on the up arrow to expand that smaller window. At the bottom of the expanded window, you will see listed each cache that was in the file you just added.....You can click twice (not double click, but click, pause, click) on the comment field to see the comments and hint, if any that will be loaded to the PN-20 when you send the file. Keep in mind that the PN-20 allows 800 characters in the comments section on the device, so if you find a cache with a very long comment field, you can shorten it here and make sure that there is room left for any hint which is at the end of the comments. If you need help doing the exchange get back with me. but since you have transfered maps already, you should not have any trouble with that....and besides the topo 7 manual and intro DVD covers that pretty well. Thanks alot for the info!! I will try that and let you know how it went.
