Sending/Receiving Waypoints to/from Earthmate PN-40

You can use XMap® to exchange waypoints with the DeLorme Earthmate® PN-40

GPS.

Notes

• Waypoints that are exchanged between XMap and the Earthmate PN-40 retain

their exact waypoint symbol only if they are part of the Earthmate PN-Series

symbol set. Otherwise, the closest-matching waypoint symbol is shown.

Exchange dialog and select the appropriate option. You can also delete a
waypoint by clicking it and then clicking the Delete button.

Device Setup>Connect to Computer menu and select the option you want
from the USB Setting drop-down list.
