I've just acquired a PN 40. I'm at square one on how to use the device. Anyone in YouTube land want to make an instructional video for the novice user. Yes, I'm reding the manuel and reviewing the tutorial help files BUT a picture (video) is worth 1K words.
I get 3D locks consistently within a minute or 2. The maps are not quite as good as google but they are pretty decent. You can see where trails turn etc. and what the best route might be to take to get to a cache. Paperless caching, road routing with alerts, fast redraws, expandable memory.. what's not to like?
Don't believe everything you read friends. I bought one and other than the maps, it can't touch my old Brunton Multinavagator. It blows the Pn 40 away. Claims of haveing Google Earth in your hand is LOL funny. Not even close! Longtime to get a lock. My Multinavagator gets as many as 4-5 3D locks before PN 40 gets one. Rarely get a WASS lock with PN 40. Have had 4 months, and only about 6 WASS locks. Other than maps, it's mostly hype!!!
