The time difference represents the time it has taken for that radio wave to travel from the satellite to the receiver.
  • Page 11 Why does it take so long to find satellites? Acquiring satellite data takes longer if the batteries are low or if the Earthmate PN-40 does not have a clear view of the sky. Be sure that trees, buildings, and other obstacles are not blocking the Earthmate PN-40 when you begin tracking.

    Once they find a cache, they use their compatible DeLorme mapping software to see the geocache on the map and transfer a waypoint to their Earthmate PN-40. They have already transferred a detailed pre-cut map for their state to an SD card that they use in their device.
  • Page 15 Earthmate PN-40 or an SD card. Once the waypoint is loaded on the Earthmate PN-40, they use the Waypoints Page to locate the coordinate that was provided in the cache’s clue. Once the waypoint is found, they create a route from their current position (home) to the waypoint location.
  • Page 16 To do so, they must mark a waypoint at the geocache location and then use the Averaging function on the Earthmate PN-40. When a waypoint is averaged, a series of GPS readings for the waypoint’s location is recorded and averaged to increase the positional accuracy of the waypoint.

They use the various waypoint symbols on the Earthmate PN-40 to represent different features, such as areas in need of service or areas where there are dangerous trees that need to be removed. When they come across an area where the GIS data does not correlate with the location of the utility line in the field, they record a track for that length of segment and drop waypoints at each line vertex.

  • Page 23: The Satellites

    Once you turn on the Earthmate PN-40, the Satellites Page appears. The Satellites Page informs you of your current GPS status, the number of satellites the Earthmate PN-40 is acquiring data from, the signal strength, the GPS accuracy (available only when a 2-D or 3-D fix is obtained), the time, and the elevation.
  • Page 24 • 3-D—The GPS receiver is receiving sufficient satellite data to determine your location. If a W shows below 2-D or 3-D, the Earthmate PN-40 has obtained a WAAS connection. WAAS provides up to five times greater position accuracy than a regular 2-D or 3-D connection. WAAS is available only in North America.
  • Page 25 There are three options for manually calibrating the altimeter. Units are based on your device settings. By default, the device is set to auto calibrate the altimeter using GPS elevation; however, manual calibration using the known elevation or barometric pressure provides greater accuracy.
