Featured collection. Route planning via the pc is even easier using Satmps own online Route planner which gives you access to os maps in both k and k scales.

There is also a route share facility incorporated too. It's worth mentioning that the route share voucher and the terms and conditions on sign up state that access runs for 12 months form the date of sign up. This isn't true - route share access is automatically renewed every year at no further cost. According to Satmap 12 months is stated for legal reasons due to ongoing licensing renewals with Ordnance Survey.

It would be illegal for them to advertise lifetime access unless they had a lifetime license with OS which they do not they have to renew their licensing agreement with them every year. I will write a review of the online route planner separately. The unit uses the ever popular SirFStarIII chip-set although it can take several minutes to find a lock from a cold start.

Once it's found a lock though it keeps it and I had no problems with signal loss or dropping under thick tree canopies. Warm start is very quick often producing a lock within seconds. On the trail the unit performs flawlessly. Following a pre planned route is simplicity itslef and the unit can be set to record and store a myriad of information as you walk.

The unit has a proper magnetic compass in addition to the gps compass and switches automatically between the two depending on whether you are moving or standing still.

You can configure the unit to switch between the two at user designated speeds i. The compass can also be set to read Grid, Magnetic or True North. The screen is easy to read even in direct sunlight although there is a setting for a sunlight filter and a red filter for night time use should you need it. On the main map screen you can configure either two or four text boxes to overlay the screen containing user configurable information from a vast list of options like trip distance, grid reference, way point information and so on.

These are displayed via a button press then disappear after a few seconds so as not to interfere with the map view. The device is also capable of displaying POI information in the form of photographs and text. So is this the perfect outdoor GPS device? Well no it's not but then again nor are any others. I did a vast amount of reading and tired quite a few of the popular devices before deciding on the Satmap.

Whilst it has it's faults most of it's niggles are just that - a minor annoyance rather than a full blown problem. The longevity of the battery connections remains to be seen and I'd be lying if I said that it's weatherproofness wasn't a bit of a concern but these will be tested in the fullness of time. I knew what I was getting before I bought the unit and I am more than happy with my purchase. There are many pros with this device and, as yet, no major cons - minor niggles yes - cons not really.

It's still early days in my ownership of the Satmap and as time goes by I will add to or possibly re-write this review as I become more acquainted with the unit. Technical Specification. Page 61 The start point of a route has an icon with a forward arrowhead in a yellow bubble.
