 Well thought out design January 19, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I chose PN-20 over Garmin Vista HCx for its overall value. It was a tough choice between the two. Vista HCx is more compact, faster graphics redraw, and more sensitive receiver than PN-20, but PN-20 came with a much better map package, more intuitive and flexible menuing, a better physical design, and a good enough sensitive receiver. I'm very happy with the PN-20.
Time For Change January 16, 2008

I used to use a Garmin 60CSx and then this came along and there is no going back. The maps and imagery provided by DeLorme are integrated into the system in a unique and innovative manner. I think because DeLorme has been making maps for consumers and governments for years they understand mapmaking at a higher level than the other GPS providers. and as such they have blown me away with this exciting new GPS. The sensitivity is exceptional and the total experience with the included maps and software makes for a tremendous value
Super GPS - one stop shopping January 9, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I am not a GPS nerd, meaning I haven't had GPS for years and have 5 or 6 models that track the history of the technology. I wanted one for a long time, but none of them were "it". I wanted it all in one box - everything I might need including a waterproof GPS that I could take hunting and kayaking and fishing as well as use in the car for long trips as well as sync with my laptop, etc. etc. Well, this is it. This is one stop shopping as far as I'm concerned. This GPS does absolutely everything I want, right out of the box. DeLorme's products are top drawer. The unit is tough, the screen is bright, the controls are intuitive, the mapping software is incredibly detailed, customer support has been fantastic. I got the PN-20 that came with DVD's, as well as all the possible battery charging cables you could hope for, and I can't think of a situation where I don't have the right stuff. I couldn't be happier.
 Very unstable unit October 2, 2007
9 out of 19 found this review helpful
I own this device for a week and will send it back tomorrow. It very unstable in most important area - satellite locking. Some times it acquire 3D lock in 1 minute (or less) but some times it does not see even single satellite for hours. Periodically it is showing accuracy 10ft but in same time on map I am 200 feet from my real location.
 SOFTWARE INTENSE August 18, 2007
28 out of 28 found this review helpful
Well...I rated it down due to the very powerful but extremely cumbersome software.I have 17 hours invested and a long ways to go.It will DO what Delorme says as far as functions of the PN-20. Do not buy if you want to take it straight from the box and travel!. The world base map is absolutely
useless. There is more information on a globe. The 16 section USA regional maps that you must load are not much better. For the PN-20 to shine you must
use the software and select the high detail maps to send to the PN-20 via SD card!!. If you dont do this you will not get street level detail. You can still set up a route without the download but why? Isnt that why I bought this unit in the first place.
I did get the PN-20 to lock on 7 satellites inside a commercial industrial building.
If you like to fool with stuff more so than use it for its intended purpose than the PN-20 is for you. It will keep you off the street for a LONG time.
Be very careful about "Whats in the Box" on Amazons site versus what the vendor says is in the box!!! I was very disappointed as I did not get the travel package mentioned here. Live and learn!!
