+Malpas Wanderer Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Just seen this new navigation product by Memory Map. http://www.memory-map.co.uk/road_angel_adventurer_satnav.htm Details sketchy as yet, they obviously hope we will attend the show. Looks a more rugged solution than a Pocket PC for the OS mapping wonder if the Road navigation will be a rival for Tom Tom? Dual product could be advantageous. Does anyone have any further info or views? Quote Link to comment

+Bear and Ragged Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Can you load POI's (caches)? and if so, does it take the new 7 digit GC numbers. I'm interested in seeing what it can do! and... How will it compare to this ? G Edited February 6, 2007 by KandG Quote Link to comment
+yonorri Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 and... How will it compare to this ? G I like the look of the Satmap, especially with a 50hr battery life Quote Link to comment
+yonorri Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I found this link Why would anyone want to set a route that only goes halfway up the Old Man of Consiton? Just a little further and they could have admired the views from the top, ah but wait this is England it was probably raining! Quote Link to comment
Edgemaster Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) More details on satmap here: http://www.proadventure.co.uk/acatalog/Sat...asatmapactive10 And from the OS site: Satmap is launching a fully integrated outdoor sports GPS and digital map system. The Satmap Active 10 is an all-weather, day or night sports GPS. It displays high-quality OS Explorer Maps and OS Landranger Maps supplied by Satmap on SD memory cards that simply plug straight into the Active 10. (16 days to release) Edited February 26, 2007 by Edgemaster Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Very nice... but at £300 for the basic unit, another £1700 for the National Parks at 1:25000 and yet another £500 for the 10 OS regions at 1:50000 that could turn out to be one very expensive piece of kit! Don't think I could justify that Quote Link to comment

Don't think I could justify that I agree. I use Fugawi uk and that has all the ordnance survey maps for a fraction of the cost. It also allows you to input waypoints tracks and routes to a lot of gps units. Well worth the money to us so maybe worth a look for you.... Quote Link to comment
+skinnymalinky Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I use memory map on a Pocket PC. It is a great way to navigate but I am always aware of the fragility of the unit. May have to save up my pocket money for one of these. Quote Link to comment
+Nellies Knackers Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Does anyone here have any experience of the MM marine charts of the east coast? Quote Link to comment
+Rebel Alliance Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 We have one of these units on trial at work. It (at present) requires the preloaded app and maps or a seperately purchased SD card with it all setup for you. You cannot (at present) plug the unit into a PC and upload MM to it, even with the latest version, the way you can a PDA. I think the amount of pressure being placed on the software/hardware vendor, they may come round to allowing this to happen in a soon to released upgrade of MM. In the meantime don't spend your cash too soon. Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I have asked if points of interest can be downloaded to it but so far no reply. Quote Link to comment
+Rebel Alliance Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 You need to install the firmware Install at your own risk Quote Link to comment
