DeLorme's GPS unit lets you send short messages without cellphone coverage. Delorme's InReach GPS Communicator lets you send text messages, even when you are in the wilderness and far away from cellphone coverage. As befits a GPS device, it's all done with satellites. Delorme has teamed up with Iridium, the satellite phone people, to offer a $10-per-month messaging package.
It works in two ways. First of all, you can set three messages before you head out and then “send” any of them direct from the device.
