There have been a lot of great questions posted since our announcement at CES: DeLorme and SPOT—Handheld GPS Meets Satellite Communication. I’ve gone through our blog, our forum, and a few other locations writing answers and providing more detail. Sometimes it can be hard to keep track of all the information, so I thought I’d bring the answers back here to our blog to keep everyone informed.
Differences between the PN-40, PN-60, and PN-60w…
- All the devices in the PN-Series line are built with the same form factor so don’t worry about your existing mounts, batteries, cables, or other accessories—they’ll still work.
- The PN-Series devices all use the same screen and the same GPS chipset so expect the same daylight readability and fast acquisition times.
- The PN-60 and PN-60w have an ambient light sensor to control the screen backlight and help with power management.
- The PN-60 and PN-60w have 3.5 GB of internal memory compared to the 500 MB in the 40.
- A PN-60wse to be sold directly from DeLorme will offer 8.0 16.0 GB of internal memory.
- Improvements have been made increasing processor speed and USB transfer rates.
- The PN-60w is the only device with a wireless antenna and the ability to connect to the SPOT Communicator.
