DeLorme has entered into a corporate partnership with world champion and gold medal snowboarder Seth Wescott.
DeLorme will be featuring Wescott in conjunction with the company’s rollout of the Earthmate PN-60w with SPOT Satellite Communicator. This unique product pairing comprises the world’s first handheld GPS capable of sending custom text messages using SPOT satellite technology. Ideal for anyone from outdoors enthusiasts to international relief workers, it introduces a revolutionary new way to communicate from remote locations beyond the reach of cell phone coverage.
“We were thrilled when this product received a prestigious Popular Mechanics 2010 Breakthrough Award earlier this month,” said Caleb Mason, DeLorme Vice President. “We have reason to believe it will be one of the top tech gift items this holiday season and look forward to working with Seth to help spread the word.”
Among the plans for Wescott include his appearance as part of Team DeLorme at the upcoming 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, where he will discuss the many benefits of leading a healthy and active lifestyle and share his experiences as an outdoors enthusiast who uses a variety of technology. Wescott will also appear in a new DeLorme print advertising campaign scheduled for early 2011.
