Delorme and SPOT have joined together on the new Delorme PN-60.

NEWS RELEASE

Users will be able to create text messages (on their GPS unit)and send them to e-mail or cell phone addresses.

I just bought the PN-40 last summer and it is a slick unit. Its not an off the shelf and go unit, there is a steep learning curve but its slick. This news makes me think about selling it on ebay to grab the PN-60.
