Topo USA® supports multiple calculation types, including Road-Quickest, Road-
Shortest, Direct, and Trail. Earthmate PN-Series GPS supports Driving (road-
quickest) and Hiking (direct) routes. If you create a Road-Shortest or Trail route in
Topo USA, you can send it to the Earthmate PN-Series GPS and it will display on the
device's map the same as it did in Topo USA; however, the calculation method will
display as Driving (for Road-Shortest routes) or Hiking (for trail routes) in the route
details on the device.
