Now, this sounds great.  Notice, it is Iridium, the new Eropean GPS
alternative.

YARMOUTH, Maine, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- DeLorme, an
innovation leader in navigation technology, today announced that its
award-winning inReach(TM) is now compatible with iPhoneR, iPadR and iPodR
touch. This innovation makes it possible for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to
access an array of two-way satellite communications capabilities with the
inReach and the DeLorme Earthmate App.

dc4f2206fb74&imageID=201 inReach turns an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a
global two-way satellite communicator for use outside traditional wireless
coverage areas. 

Users can send and receive messages to and from cell phones, email contacts
and other inReach users, anywhere in the world. inReach can also be used to
post messages to Facebook and Twitter. 

"DeLorme is now extending the unique inReach two-way SOS, personal
communication, and tracking capabilities to a far broader universe of users
worldwide," said Mike Heffron, DeLorme CEO. "This underscores our commitment
to making affordable two-way satellite communication solutions available to
as many people as possible." 

inReach, launched in the fall of 2011, is the first consumer-affordable
satellite communicator with two-way SOS and personal text messaging, message
delivery confirmation, Follow-Me/Find-Me Tracking and Location, and global
coverage. iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users can now benefit from all those
capabilities. 

inReach is a game-changing communication solution for anyone whose
activities take them beyond cell phone range. Compact and lightweight,
inReach is dustproof and waterproof, buoyant, and impact-resistant. inReach
uses its internal GPS for remote tracking and embedding precise location
coordinates in sent messages. 

In the event of an emergency, the interactive SOS capability of the inReach
provides an automatically triggered remote tracking service. Users can
accurately describe their situation so proper resources can be deployed, and
both user and responders can provide ongoing updates until help arrives. 

Because inReach provides reliable two-way connections through Iridium, the
world's furthest-reaching satellite communications network, it can be used
with complete confidence anywhere in the world on land, at sea or in the
air. 

"This is an excellent example of how Iridium global connectivity, married
with partner innovation, simplifies consumer connectivity and provides
remote communication from familiar devices to existing Internet consumer
communities as well as direct personal communications such as email," said
Matt Desch, CEO of Iridium. 

Since late last year, inReach has earned several prestigious awards
including: 2012 Backpacker Editors' Choice, 2012 National Marine
Manufacturers Association Innovation Award, 2012 CES Innovations honors,
2011 Popular Science Best of What's New, and 2011 Gear of the Year awards
from both Men's Journal and National Geographic Adventure. 

Suggested retail price for inReach is $249.95, with annual satellite
subscriptions beginning at $9.95 per month. Four-month seasonal plans are
also available. 

InReach is available in the U.S. and Canada at better retail and online
outlets offering electronics or outdoor recreation gear. To learn more go to

The DeLorme Earthmate App is available free from the App Store on iPhone,
iPad and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/ .
