Note that this is the older/lower end PN-60W unit with only 3.5GB of internal storage (500MB available to the user). The new PN-60w SE model has 16GB of internal memory. Of course, you can add a memory card to expand the memory, but it you want to compare pricing, make sure that the units have the same amount of RAM.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Amazing to stay in touch from middle of nowhere.
What's not so great: Included base map for Europe just okay.
I have been a Garmin 60csx user for many years and had the chance to demo the DeLorme PN-60w with SPOT at the Boy Scouts event over the summer and recently bought one. All I can say is WOW! Loaded with incredibly detailed topo and street maps, with access to imagery and nautical charts, the GPS itself is waterproof and rugged. One of the Delorme people at the event told me troops in Afganistan have been buying them. (I also learned DeLorme is owned by a veteran, which I especially liked to hear.) But then you add the SPOT to this GPS and now I can send messages to my buddies (and wife) when outside cell coverage. I have posted to Facebook and Twitter from the middle of nowhere ( especially amazing when in northern Canada this fall where the topo maps were very helpful) much to the amazement of my friends back home. I don't know of any other GPS that offers this so it is truly cool when a genuine innovation that actually works this well comes to be.
I would recommend this to a friend!
