ONE SENTENCE DESCRIPTION: Handheld GPS meets satellite communications, for worry-free navigation in remote locations plus the ability to type and send text and SOS messages via satellite for peace of mind wherever you go. PRODUCT NOTES: DeLorme and SPOT have teamed up to provide a ruggedized handheld GPS with DeLorme street and topo maps included, plus the ability to type and send one-way text messages via the SPOT satellite system. Cell phone coverage can be hit or miss in remote areas, but the PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator reliably distributes your message via the proven SPOT system, from locations around the world. Use the Earthmate PN-60w GPS to navigate with confidence and also to type your custom text messages. The PN-60w connects wirelessly with the SPOT Satellite Communicator, which relays the messages for delivery to your recipients� email and cell phones, and/or your Facebook and Twitter pages. You can also log your geocaching finds directly from the field to Geocaching.com; allow others to track your progress on Google Maps; and, in case of emergency, send an SOS message with explanatory detail and your GPS location embedded. In addition to the included DeLorme Topo North America 9.0 GPS maps, the PN-60w can display DigitalGlobe and other high-resolution aerial imagery, as well as official USGS and Natural Resources Canada topographic detail, and NOAA nautical charts, all available via subscription from the DeLorme Map Library. SPOT services are activated by subscription. Annual plans begin at an average of $8.50 per month plus $.50 per text message. Learn more at www.delorme.com. IMPORTANT: The Earthmate PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator consists of two devices that were engineered exclusively for use with one another; they are packaged and sold together as a single product. The Earthmate PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator�s Type & Send messaging capability is unique to this specific hardware pairing.

Q.} Do I have to get my girlfriend a women's-specific backpack if her torso size fits a men's one? Do the shoulder strap position and waist belt flare really matter and do you wear a women’s-specific backpack?
Submitted by: Miguel - Detroit, MI

A.} No, Miguel, you don’t necessarily have to get your girlfriend a women’s specific pack. I often wear men’s or unisex packs with great success. And I know small men who have had luck with women’s packs. Forget about the gender labels and look at the pack itself, and the way it works with your girlfriend’s body shape.
