Before Tom leaves for his trip, he uses the Earthmate GPS PN-20 Online Map Center to download
additional map data so he can get satellite and aerial views of the area where he’ll be. This is helpful
to Tom because he has heard that the bird population is greater near the swamp land. With the aerial
and satellite data available from the Online Map Center, Tom can see the geological formations in his
bird watching area before he leaves, giving him a greater idea of where he should spend his day.
1. Visit http://data.delorme.com to download the area where you will be bird watching.
Once the map of the location is saved on the Earthmate GPS PN-20, Tom leaves for his bird watching
trip. When he arrives at the location, he parks his truck, turns on the Earthmate GPS PN-20, waits
until he gets a 2-D or 3-D fix, places a waypoint to represent the parking lot, modifies his tracking
settings, and then turns on Track recording.
2. Press and hold the Power button to turn on the Earthmate GPS PN-20.
3. Press the Mark button on the device to place a waypoint at the parking lot location and press
ENTER.
Note: To choose a different symbol, scroll to the top of the Waypoints screen to highlight the
waypoint symbol and press ENTER. Use the arrow keypad to find and highlight the symbol you
want.
4. Press MENU, highlight the Tracks option, and press ENTER.
5. Press MENU, highlight the Edit Track Settings option, and press ENTER.
6. Highlight the Record Points By drop-down list and press ENTER.
7. Highlight the Time option and press ENTER.
8. Highlight the Recording Interval text field and press ENTER. Use the arrow keypad to increase/
decrease each digit. Press ENTER after each digit is changed.
9. If the On button is not activated, highlight the button and then press ENTER to activate it.
OR
If the On button is already activated, go to step 10.
Tom continues his journey to the bird-watching spot. While he’s walking, he notices an eagle in a tree
