GPS device.
Notes
•
To rename, delete, or send/receive a route, right-click the item in the Exchange dialog
and select the appropriate option. You can also delete a map by clicking the item and
then clicking the Delete button.
•
If you bypassed the Connect to Computer screen on the device, go to the Device
Setup > Connect to Computer menu and select the option you want from the USB
Setting drop-down list.
•
You cannot create trail routes on an Earthmate PN-Series GPS. To follow a trail route,
create a trail route in Topo USA and then send it to your device using the instructions
below.
•
If you stray off of a trail route's course while navigating with the device, you will be
asked if you would like to recalculate the route. Because the Earthmate PN-Series GPS
cannot create trail routes, the route will be converted to a direct (hiking) route if you
choose to recalculate. If you do not want to change the shape of your trail route, be
sure to answer No when asked if you would like to recalculate the route.
