DeLorme has made their worldwide topo basemap available for download, at a cost of one cent per 100 square kilometers (minimum purchase $10). I’m flying today, sitting in a cramped seat, so I’m just going to link to some additional images and paste in the news release for more info…

DeLorme PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator review
October 12, 2010 By 83 Comments
A serious tool for backcountry adventurers
Call me crazy, but I love all day mountain bike rides where I go so far back that I’m unlikely to see another human; the more isolated and rugged, the better. I prefer to do these with my biking partner (the most wonderful wife in the world), but all too often I’m out there solo. What’s a crash-prone, wilderness-seeking, aging mountain biker to do?

DeLorme PN-60w / SPOT deal and testing update
September 21, 2010 By 6 Comments
UPDATE: I have reason to believe that this deal may be gone by tomorrow. I suspect that DeLorme may have saddled dealers with a minimum resale price, though that is purely conjecture on my part.
UPDATE 2: Hmm, the deal is still there as of 9/22. Maybe I got bad info. The page now says the rebate is in effect through 9/25.
UPDATE 3: Looks like its now priced at $449.00.
UPDATE 4: I’ve posted reviews of the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w and the PN-60w / SPOT Communicator combo
J&R Computer/Music World has the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60W Handheld GPS with SPOT Satellite Communicator on sale for $399.95 with free shipping, $90 less than Amazon’s price
PN-60w hits DeLorme website; most earlier models discontinued

UPDATE: I’ve posted reviews of the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w and the PN-60w / SPOT Communicator combo
DeLorme has put up web pages for the forthcoming PN-60 series, including lots of screenshots and other goodies. One thing caught me by surprise – the PN-40 SE model and the PN-30 series are now listed as discontinued. This makes the popular PN-40 the low end model in the product line; not too shabby, huh?

UPDATE: I’ve posted reviews of the DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w and the PN-60w / SPOT Communicator combo
We’ve got some big news for backcountry types today. DeLorme and Spot have jointly unveiled the first combination ruggedized GPS navigator and satellite communicator. The DeLorme Earthmate PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator can send customized text messages to individuals or groups. While emergency messaging or personal locator beacon capability is something I’ve been wanting to see in a handheld GPS receiver for awhile, plans are for the PN-60w to offer even more.

UPDATE: I’ve posted a DeLorme PN-30 page, with links to reviews, etc.
It appears that DeLorme is on the verge of rolling out an intermediate model, the PN-30. This will be a lower cost alternative to their successful recent introduction, the DeLorme Earthmate PN-40. The PN-30 will basically be the same unit, minus the tri-axial electronic compass and barometric altimeter.
