The SPOT Communicator for the new DeLorme PN-60w has been delayed until early July. We apologize for this delay, which is entirely due to one component shortage. We are working aggressively to resolve that shortage situation now. This shortage was unexpected and driven by the difficulties facing many suppliers attempting to ramp up production to meet rising demand following the recession.
Customers will be able to purchase the new DeLorme PN-60 model with Topo North America 9.0 software and maps included (the PN-60 is the next-gen of the PN-40 with vastly improved memory and battery performance plus much more, available in red) in mid-June from any number of DeLorme resellers, but need to understand this particular model will not work with the SPOT Communicator when it becomes available in early July.
The PN-60w model with the new SPOT Communicator included will be available for preordering in June from resellers and also from DeLorme. As a reminder, this will be the world’s first handheld GPS that enables typing and transmitting one-way short text messages using the SPOT satellite system when outside cellular coverage. Those of us at DeLorme and SPOT are very excited by what we are seeing in the test phase of this new product combination and are confident it will revolutionize customers’ experiences using GPS and satellite text communications for years to come.
We thank you for your patience and understanding. Please check our blog for the latest news as we move forward.
