So settled on the delorme pn-60 and have just started learning how to use my map subscriptions and how to load new maps onto the handheld gps. Now trying to learn what maps are really needed to view hiking trails the best and what maps I should layer. So far have public lands 10, draw layers , DG 1m...

Okay figured out how to load gpx haz maps into pn-60. Open delorme topo software on computer, click on draw, click on file and navigate to correct file and that will load into software then when sync goes to device.

Thanks Joe will give it a try. So far though really like it the topo software it comes with is very detailed and the transfer of it to the device is simple, I just want to be able to transfer haz routes as well :) We got this one at Bass Pro and went with it because of features and included maps. Th...

I tried the etrex legend and didn't like it too hard to use and see screen for me now have the delorme pn-60 and so far love it. I'd suggest the pn-60 with spot.

Well returned the etrex and went with the pn-60 no spot (have spot second gen). So far really like it but still trying to figure out how I get an haz gpx route into the device.

Any thoughts on the delorme earthmate w/out spot? Thinking of returning my etrex legend for it.

Hm doesn't seem to be working out for me thinking of returning and getting the earthmate delorme or a different garmin.

Got one from Sportsman Warehouse and testing now so far seems to work great but will update after hiking!

Hello, Just got a garmin etrex (the legend hcx) and learning how to use it I also got the arizona land status topo map blmgps which has a microsd card that goes in the device. I've only used the motionx on my iphone in the past so trying to learn this now. Any tips for ease of use? My maps are showi...

We are interested in some trails around water or creeks so maybe the Saguaro or other lakes. Any specific trails that are recommende...

I'm new to hiking and have just stated exploring on day hikes. Wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for day hikes from the Mesa area or beeline. I'm looking for loop trails 5-10 miles and in an area with lots of nature/wildlife for photography. Any suggestions appreciated - thanks!

Anyone using the spot satellite messenger. Wondering if worth the buy. Any other device recommendations for when cell service is not available?
