  1. Hello everyone, I own a satmap which I use primarily as a mapping tool for cross country and road cycling. I love the detail of the maps especially the county series that now has Streetview at 1:10 000. As far as the OS maps are concerned I find the extra detail of 1:25 000 very useful when planning off-road routes (both cycling and caching). As far as geocaching is concerned the satmap is a deadly accurate tool but I prefer to zoom in on the cache tag using the live gps map rather than using the compass pointer which is pretty twitchy and vague (but no more than the pointer on a garmin) I must admit that the Active 10 is a bit bulky - but that is the price to pay for a big screen, that said, it fits in my pocket just as easily as my back-up Etrex. The online route planning is superb and easily transfered to the unit and vice versa. I would prefer a direct cache download on geocaching.com rather than downloading .gpx files but hey! It only takes a moment to do. My only gripe is the price of the map sd cards which could be a little cheaper but generally I am very happy with the Satmap and would recommend it to anybody.
