Nope, not the SPOT II, but even newer than that. It is called the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator. DeLorme and SPOT have teamed up to give us what they say is a ruggedized handheld GPS with all the famous DeLorme street and topo maps included, plus the ability to type and send one-way messages.

So, if you have $550.00 [MSRP] burning your pockets, head off to a local retailer and get yourself one. Amazon.com has them for $510 and REI at the MSRP.
The other new-in-town gadget is the Garmin Edge 800. I have a couple of pieces on it as well.
Darn nice promo for Portland in the navigation pane! Makes me want to move there or, at least, have an extended visit!

I certainly enjoyed my two visits. It’s a very good promo. I think you will enjoy it. –jim
