18The Satellites Page displays GPS and satellite information, time, and elevation.Constellation and Signal GraphBoth the satellite constellation and the satellite signal graph display visible satellites and their identifying numbers. The satellite constellation depicts each satellite’s position and the signal graph bars indicate the strength of each satellite signal.The icons in the satellite constellation and the bars in the signal graph are color-coded based on the quality of the data they are transmitting: Gray–Satellites have not been located but they are shown in the constellation because they appear in the PN-60’s almanac data. Red–The receiver is tracking the satellite, but it is not using it to navigate. Yellow–The receiver is tracking the satellite, predicted ephemeris data is available when a 3-D x has not been obtained, and the satellite is being used for navigation. Green–The receiver is tracking the satellite, ephemeris data is available, and the satellite is being used for navigation. Blue–The receiver is tracking the satellite, ephemeris data is available, the satellite is being used for navigation, and WAAS corrections are available.GPS and WAAS StatusThe Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of satellites that orbit the earth to provide position and navigation information. The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is system of satellites and ground The Satellites PageThe Satellites Page
19The Satellites Pagestations that correct GPS signals to improve accuracy.The GPS status is based on the satellite acquisition status. GPS Off–The GPS receiver is turned off. No Fix–The GPS does not have sufcient satellite data to determine your current GPS position. 2-D–The GPS connection is successful, but the connection quality is not as good as a 3-D x. Move your receiver to another location to get better reception. 3-D–The GPS is receiving sufcient satellite data (horizontal position and elevation) to determine your location.When "WAAS" appears below 2-D or 3-D, the PN-60 has a WAAS connection (available only in North America) that provides up to ve times greater positional accuracy than a regular 2-D or 3-D connection.To set the current locationIf it takes a long time for the PN-60 to obtain a 2-D or 3-D x, verify it has a clear view of the sky. Be sure that trees, buildings, and other obstacles are not blocking the device. If the device still cannot obtain a 2-D or 3-D x, go to MENU > Set Current Location. When the Map Page displays; pan the map to your current location and press ENTER.To turn off GPSYou can use many features on the PN-60 without a GPS x. When the GPS receiver is turned off, "GPS OFF" displays on the screen and all satellites are removed from the satellite constellation.There are two ways to turn off the GPS receiver. From the Satellites Page go to MENU > Turn Off GPS. To turn the GPS on again, go to MENU > Turn On GPS. From the Home Page, go to Settings > System > GPS Setting > GPS Off. To turn the GPS on, select Normal or Power Saving. The GPS receiver is temporarily turned off when in simulation mode (during track playback and navigation simulation).TimeYou can change the time format, time zone, and manually set Daylight Saving Time. The time is automatically set from GPS satellites and is highly accurate.To change the time settings, from the Home Page, go to Settings > Time.
20GPS AccuracyIn the lower left corner of the Satellites Page, the GPS accuracy displays. This is the calculated accuracy of the GPS, expressed in distance. The actual location is within plus or minus the distance indicated of the location represented by the GPS. On the Map Page, GPS accuracy is represented by a circle with a radius equal to the GPS accuracy; your actual location on the map is within the circle.Any buildings, natural structures, or heavy foliage that obstruct the GPS antenna’s view of the sky may prevent satellite signals from reaching the receiver and decrease the accuracy of your position. Placing the PN-60 GPS in a jacket or backpack pocket should not affect positional accuracy.ElevationThe elevation is based on the current barometric altimeter reading. When the Auto Calibrate Altimeter option is selected, you may see the word “Calibrating” in the bottom right corner of the screen while the barometer adjusts—typically 2-3 minutes. If you are using the Elevation: Barometer info eld on any page, you may see a red exclamation point in the eld while the altimeter adjusts. For more information about calibrating the altimeter, see Altimeter Calibration on page 87.Compass and AltimeterCalibrate the compass and altimeter from the Compass Page menu or the Satellites Page menu.

49 The Waypoints PageSorting the ListThere are two ways to sort your list of waypoints— by distance from your GPS location or alphabetically by name. From the Waypoints Page, press MENU; the device is set to the option that is not showing. To switch to the highlighted option, press ENTER. If the le has a large number of waypoints, press ENTER to interrupt the sorting process and see a partial list.SymbolsThe waypoint symbols available on the PN-60 match the PN-Series symbol set in your DeLorme mapping application. The symbol set includes geocaching symbols (these are at the end of the symbol list). To ensure a waypoint displays on the Waypoints Page, use a waypoint symbol. If you use a geocaching symbol, the waypoint will display only on the Geocaches Page. To see the geocaching symbols, go to page 54. For a complete list of symbols, see the DeLorme Wiki (wiki.delorme.com). File MenuUse the File menu to manage waypoint GPX les stored in the PN-60’s internal memory or on an SD card in the device, as well as waypoints you create on the device. For more information about les, see File Management on page 85.To open the File menu, from the Waypoints Page, go to MENU > File. The following options are available: New—Create a new GPX le and name it.

If you have made any changes to the open le, the changes are saved in the new le—the original le does not retain the changes. Move to Internal/Move to SD Card—Move the open le from the current stored location to the alternate location. For example, you can open a le from an SD card and move it to the device’s internal memory. Close – Close the open GPX le.Marking a WaypointUse the Mark button on the PN-60 to mark a waypoint at your current GPS location or at the map cursor if you are viewing another location on the map. When the waypoint is marked at the map cursor location, the elevation is not available.
50When you press Mark, the waypoint is saved and a waypoint details page opens where you can edit the waypoint details. For more information, see To edit waypoint details.You can also mark waypoints using the on-screen Mark option on Find search result details and route point details pages. When you mark a waypoint, the default waypoint symbol is a red map pin and the label is "Wpt 001." When you change the symbol or label, each new waypoint uses that format until you change either the symbol or the name. When you add multiple waypoints with the same name, a sequential number is added to the name. For example, if you name a waypoint “Campsite,” the second waypoint is named “Campsite 002” and so on. When you mark a waypoint from a details page, such as a Find search result or a map object, the device uses the default information available for the symbol and name. If no information is available, the red map pin is the default symbol.

Compass and AltimeterThe PN-60 comes equipped with two sensors; an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter. The electronic compass works when the PN-60 is moving at less than 1.5 miles per hour. The compass readings calculated from GPS information are accurate only when the device is moving. The barometric altimeter uses the elevation adjusted to mean sea level and barometric pressure to provide more accurate elevation readings than the calculated GPS elevation provides.Changes in weather patterns and geographic locations can cause errors in sensor readings. Calibrating the sensors ensures that they record and display accurate data on the device and record accurate data in the track le.The Calibrate option is available from the Satellite Page and the Compass Page, and is under the Compass & Altimeter option on the Settings Page. In addition, from the Settings > Compass & Altimeter menu, you can enable or disable the electronic compass, barometric altimeter, and the auto-calibrate barometer options, or restore the default settings. Compass Calibration Calibrate the electronic compass the rst time you use the PN-60. Make sure you are outside and away from magnetic elds, such as those caused by vehicles and power lines, when you calibrate the compass. Calibrate when you change the batteries—batteries, even of the same type, have unique magnetic elds that affect the accuracy of the electronic compass. The device periodically checks the compass accuracy; if it is poor, “Poor Accuracy” appears in the bottom right corner of the Compass Page and a red exclamation point displays in the Heading info eld. If the warning does not go away, try calibrating the compass.Additional Information
87To calibrate the compass1. From the Satellite Page or the Compass Page, go to MENU > Calibrate > Calibrate Compass.OR From the Home Page, go to Settings > Compass & Altimeter > Calibrate > Calibrate Compass.2. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the compass. Altimeter CalibrationThere are three options for calibrating the altimeter. By default, the device is set to auto-calibrate the altimeter using GPS elevation; however, manual calibration using the known elevation or barometric pressure provides greater accuracy.Auto-calibration uses the average GPS elevation as a basis for the barometric elevation. Adjustments are made to take into account changes over time in the barometric pressure, unrelated to changes in elevation. As the elevation adjusts (typically in 2-3 minutes), "Calibrating" displays in the bottom right corner of the Satellites Page. If you are using the Elevation: Barometer info eld on any page, it displays a red exclamation point.Note that the unit settings used in the Known Elevation and Known Pressure elds are from the units set on your device. To change the units, go to Settings > Units > Pressure.To calibrate the altimeter1. From the Satellite Page or the Compass Page, go to MENU > Calibrate > Calibrate Altimeter.OR From the Home Page, go to Settings > Compass & Altimeter > Calibrate > Calibrate Altimeter.2.
