The Earthmate PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator comprises the world's first handheld GPS capable of sending custom text messages using SPOT satellite technology. Ideal for anyone from outdoors enthusiasts to international relief workers, it introduces a revolutionary new way to communicate from remote locations beyond the reach of cell phone coverage.

This is really two great products in one, said company Vice President Caleb Mason. DeLorme and SPOT have both pioneered a number of first-to-market innovations. Combining our unique GPS capabilities with SPOT's satellite delivery has produced a one-of-a-kind navigation and communications solution, for peace of mind wherever you go.

In addition to the CES Innovations and Popular Mechanics Awards, the PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator earned National Geographic Adventure Gear of the Year honors, and Wired Magazine included it in its 100 Things We Want feature. The influential Gear Junkie also accorded it Best in Show honors at the giant Outdoor Retailer show.
