Earthmate PN-Series PN Pro Firmware Update (v2.7)

[Kurt]

Firmware version 2.7 includes the following updates for XMap 7.0 users:

• Added support for forms created with XMap Forms in XMap 7. See XMap Forms for more information about forms.
• Added support for editing form data and re-classifying data. Forms must be created with edit permissions to edit/classify on the device.
• Added ability to work with GPX files on an SD card. Point layers can be sent to the PN-40, with or without an associated form, using XMap 7’s “Send to PN-Series Device” option. This places the layer, saved to a GPX file, on the SD card. When a GPX file is opened, its contents are transferred to the PN-40’s internal memory. Data can be edited and new points can be created. These changes can then be saved back to the SD card for merging into the originating layer in XMap 7.
• Added ability to copy a saved track to an SD card as a GPX file.
• GIS layers saved to the PN-40 from the Handheld Export tab now display as unique layers within Map Setup > Data Layering. This allows each GIS layer to be individually enabled or disabled.
• Added a Layer Details menu option to Data Layering. This allows you to determine the database and server from which each GIS layer originated.

Are you aware that the links in this and linked pages take you to a page that contains Articles about the update, but there is NO link to download that actual firmware update?

If you click on the first link in his post it will eventually relocate you to a new support site which does include the update. Likely the one Lee directed you to, though I did not pay attention to the address.

These links are down for me, is anybody else who has stumbled across this thread in the past few weeks had this issue? I am just now starting to fiddle with all of my old devices, they weren't of much use in Mexico, but now that I'm back in the Rocky Mountains I need them more than ever. Would love to get this or whatever is the latest firmware update. I have been looking at different GPS dealer reviews online and considering upgrading to something with current firmware. Do you guys ever use angies list?
