Basic Functions
This chapter provides descriptions for some of the basic functions of the Earthmate GPS PN-20.
Panning the Map
There are two ways to pan the map:
•  Manually pan the map by placing the cursor along the map edge and holding the arrow keypad  
  in the direction that you want to move the map. 
•  Automatically pan the map when GPS tracking/navigating. The map automatically pans in the  
  direction of travel when the GPS cursor travels outside of the map area.
Getting Information About a Map Object
Position your cursor over a map object to learn more about it.
1.  Press the arrow keypad to position your cursor over the map object you want to learn more about.  
 
The status bar at the bottom of the Map Page provides name information for the object.
2.  Press ENTER. The Info Page displays.
 
Note: If multiple objects are found at the cursor location, the Multiple Objects screen displays  
 
each of the available objects at that location. Use the arrow keypad to select an object and then  
 
press ENTER to view the Info Page for that object.
3.  Optional: To save the map object as a waypoint, highlight and select Mark.
Navigating vs. Tracking
There  are  several  instances  in  this  manual  where  we  mention  navigating  or  tracking  with  the  
Earthmate GPS PN-20. You may ask, “What’s the difference?” 
•  You are navigating with the Earthmate GPS PN-20 when you use it to follow a route.
•  You are tracking with the Earthmate GPS PN-20 when the GPS is on, but you are not following  
  a route.
Using the Keyboard
The keyboard is accessible when you need to enter text, such as when editing a waypoint label. 
Once the keyboard displays, use the arrow keypad to highlight the letter (A–Z), number (0–9), symbol
