Mountain Biking - DeLorme Earthmate PN-40 User Manual

Mountain Biking

The Earthmate PN-40 is also a perfect companion while mountain biking.
Carla and Jordan are preparing for a ride at Slickrock Bike Trail. Before they go, they download data
of the Moab, Utah, region with their compatible DeLorme software program and create a map
package for the area. They create a route that starts and finishes at the trailhead and includes three
stops: Shrimp Rock, Upper Shrimp Rock, and Mt. View Cave. Then they send the map package and
the route they created to their Earthmate PN-40. Once they arrive at the trail, they mount their GPS
devices onto their bikes, power them on, and select the route they plan to use for navigation.

The GPS device not only tells them where they are in real time but also keeps a record (track) of
everywhere they've been. Once they've finished the trail, they decide to save the track so that they
can see where they've ridden.

Since they might want to visit this track again later, they decide to name the track with the trail
name and assign it the same color that they assign all of the trails they've ridden. They also use
the comments feature in the Tracks screen to note if they thought the trail was easy, moderate,
or difficult.
9. Highlight the Track text field and press ENTER to name the track "GW Forest" using the
keyboard. Then, highlight OK and press ENTER.
