Oh Christmas Sales, Oh Christmas Sales! How lovely saving money… Oh,
sorry… Black Friday shopping – what a frenzy! Oh, the stories I heard -
bet you heard ‘em, too. A few friends made it up and out at
O’Dark-thirty, joined in the pushin’ and shovin’, hustlin’ and bustlin’,
hurryin’ to get a number to stand in line hopin' to get what they
wanted, limited numbers, sizes ran out, rushed and ran and got tired
out. Another friend talked about how many folks are catching the flu
while out shopping lately. A familiar story, don’t you think? We’ve
heard plenty about that. And the gas prices, Oh My! Well, here at
home, not down in the city, we just hung our wreaths. Oooh, don’t they
look pretty. Now I’m back at my desk, coffee by my side, checking my
options, beaming with pride.
Anyway, with Cyber Monday tomorrow I want to decide which handheld GPS systems
I like best. There are some great ones to choose from. Let me see, I
like geocaching, check. I want it to be handy for hiking, check. Oh,
and let’s not forget bike riding, great! It needs to be small enough to
grab to take on vacation, yup. Sure have some great handheld GPS units
to consider! Delorme Earthmate GPS - there are several, Busnell ONIX GPS,
Garmin Colorado and Vista, Dakota and Forerunner. It’s time to grab a
snack and settle down to look with this many options!

Looking for a serious, yet versatile
handheld GPS? The DeLorme Earthmate PN-30 or PN-40 GPS systems have a lot to
offer. The DeLorme Earthmate GPS are great handheld GPS systems, but with
the right GPS mounts they become automotive GPS systems. Since they are
waterproof they can be used for motorcycle, bike, ATV or boat; and
getting caught in the rain on a hike or geocaching
expedition is no cause for alarm.
Compact, these are easy
to carry and include 500 MB of available Flash memory. With either you can
download data directly to SD card while in the receiver and even display
Navionics Charts. While only the PN-40 has a 3-axis electronic compass and
sensitive barometric altimeter, both versions have many other great
features.
Both the Earthmate PN-30 and PN-40 are pre-loaded
with US secondary and connector roads, worldwide highway, major road base map
and Topo USA with comprehensive street, road and topographic detail. DeLorme
Earthmate GPS even include NOAA nautical charts and
are WAAS-enabled, are rugged and waterproof for marine use. Both the Earthmate PN-30 and PN-40 support high capacity SDHC cards available
at up to 32 GB and color daylight-reading screen for visibility in any light
conditions. Add the fact that they hold up to 10 tracks, up to 1,000
user-defined waypoints and up to 50 routes they are terrific for paperless
geocaching. They have almanac information on tides, sun and moon phases, and
hunting/fishing conditions. Since they run on 2 AA batteries you can carry
backup batteries so you won’t get caught without your GPS.
What more versatile handheld GPS systems can you imagine? Whether
you are interested in automotive GPS, geocaching or using GPS on your bike,
motorcycle, ATV or for marine use, the DeLorme Earthmate GPS handheld GPS
systems are not to be overlooked.
