Quote from a newsletter for an event sponsored by Delorme. I didn't realize they made (or marketed) GPS:
DeLorme prepares to release new product before the Trek!
The DeLorme Earthmate® PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator, due for release in late Spring, will be the
first handheld GPS navigation device capable of sending customized text messages even when the user is
operating far beyond the range of cellular communications.
The revolutionary SPOT Satellite Communicator, designed exclusively for the new PN-60w,
merges SPOT satellite message functionality and state-of-the-art DeLorme GPS mapping via
wireless. Users can type and send freeform text messages from the field using the PN-60w’s
keyboard to select individuals or groups from remote areas around the world. Among the
exciting new PN-60 features is an elevation profile screen that pinpoints the user’s position on
the profile – ideal for those Trek Across Maine hill climbs.
