Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The PN-60 is a much better unit than the PN-40.Battery life is infinitely longer compared to the PN-40 (I had one) this unit will go all day on the Li-ion rechargeable pack.Additionally, the new menu system is far quicker to navigate and the profile view showing elevation is great for hikes.This unit teamed with the new Topo 9 also provides for quicker and simpler map and routing downloads. As far a GPS units this one may not have the biggest screen or smallest size etc...the reason you buy this unit is for the data layering and the Delorme maps- nothing comes close for $29.95 / year.
Check out the Delorme web site for plenty of examples.

The PN-60 supports all popular outdoor activities. Features include a highly-accurate 3-axis electronic compass that works when held in any position, moving on foot or standing still. For traveling in elevation, there is an elevation profile tool that pinpoints your location and a sensitive barometric altimeter for precise elevation readings and the ability to gauge potential weather changes. These elevation features are particularly useful for hikers, climbers, and hunters. The ability to display NOAA nautical charts make the PN-60 a valuable navigator for sea kayaking and coastal sailing.
