Description says ships with Topo USA 9.0 which Delorme has replaced with Topo USA 10.0 - which version actually ships with unit?

Tom, when I bought mine (mid 2012) the software was TOPO 9. I'm assuming the newer software would be included now, but I really have no way of knowing. I would contact DeLorme support.

I just received this unit. I can confirm it shipped with Topo 10.0. Also, the unit is black, not red.

Digital Image Suite 2006 (and 2006 Anniversary Edition) is version 11. I haven't seen a review specifically comparing DIS versions 9 and 11, but Paul Thurrott wrote an introductory review of Digital Image Suite 2006 that you may find helpful: http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/dis2006.asp

Thanks for the reply, Craig!Do we need to buy the topo software directly from Garmin, or does Amazon carry it? (I couldn't find it here.) Will we need an extra memory card to hold the topo data for a region? I'm trying to figure out what the total expense will be for all the add-ons we'll want/need before we choose a unit.If you were choosing between an eTrex and a GPSMAP unit today, which would you choose?Thanks again!

maps are easy to download into pn-60, i use delorme Topo USA and then choose a grid they have laid out and then off it goes to the gps unit, not much trouble at all. Don't have to be computer geek to get it done. Reception on gps is awesome, i have left it in my pocket under heavy tree cover and it still recorded my tracks. Very happy with this unit.

just got mine today (08/22/08). included maps are the 2008 edition. when i registered the product i got a free download for the 2009 edition - which i am taking advantage of as i type this... according to the 'thank you for registering' email, the free update to 2009 maps is available until september 21st, and when you accept the download, you have 90 days to get it before the product key expires. (its a good 2 hour download alone, not including install time)

Mine is red. Don't know if it comes in black. As for topo 10 - got mine way back when 10 didn't even exist so mine came with 9. Delorme has a pretty good and easy to contact customer service. They'll be glad to answer your questions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I don't use a PN series receiver, but according to information from Delorme, "DeLorme Topo North America 10.0 supports DeLorme Earthmate PN-30 and higher models."

This model has both top & bottom. There is a model that has just the bottom unit available. Not sure if Amazon carries or not.

I don't use the topo maps because in Alabama it's pretty much flat. I've read other reviews where users report that the preloaded topo maps are junk.

It's a discontinued model by Garmin. You get more bang for the buck when buying this model. I just updated it to the latest 2010 maps and operating system.

Not sure which model, checked entire unit and nothing..... Not even serial number to look up. I will check to see if I have manual tomorrow.Unit 2 yrs old still like new and works awesome. Super durable.Thought bottom pad would wear out but hasn't even come close to showing any wear.Just bought a TENS unit from Hi Dow company and like it better. Isolates problem area better and can use it alone.Both are chiropractic grade. Any other Questions just shoot.

This product came with several maps preloaded, including the TOPO U.S. 100K. I ordered the DVD separately for the Topo U.S. 24K because it has four times smaller resolution. It contains everything you mentioned. I believe the DVD for the 24K was about $100+ extra. Once I got the DVD I initially could not figure how to load/download it to the 62st. Fortunately the Garmin support pointed to free software that I needed downloaded to my PC before using the DVD. Once the software and DVD were installed I was able to select a portion of the 24k map and transfer it to the 62st. I was disappointed with the resolution of the 100k but the 24K is quite detailed. Overall this unit has cost me more than I was planning to invest and has been less than impressive to use and fairly hard to learn. It took me a couple of weeks to figure how to translate the deed description of my property to GPS coordinates and then translate it further into the modified format used by Garmin. I also used Google maps to attempt to determine the coordinates for my property but note that again their format is different for how minutes and seconds of an angle are calculated. I ended up with four translations before I got to an accurate mapping of the 62st - it was quite frustrating for a while. Good luck. Perhaps you are more experienced with this type of equipment. It is my first, but I'm quite skilled with a map and compass. Using the unit through thick brush where I could neither see very far ahead or walk very far in a straight line was quite disappointing. Finally to locate one of my property boundaries it was actually necessary to revert to a compass and step off about 1/4 mile. Again perhaps this says more about me being a novice user than the actual unit and map.

When I ordered mine, it was the US version. Make sure you select the US version when you order. It's awesome, but little to no support from from PMDG, and it will take many hours to figure it out. it's not the FSX your used to.
