Anybody using the SATMAP Active 10 on there trail rides? Just got my 2nd hand unit refurbished and was looking for pointers
never heard of it before had to Google just out of Curiosity as to what it was> http://www.satmap.com/products/gps.html I am involved in holding 2 AMA National Dual Sports and attend others and have not seen them. They look like areal nice GPS unit though. They must be new on the market. The Garmen 60Csx seems to be the most common top of the line GPS used and apparently it is commonly prescribed. That new traitech unit looks like a promising new option- I'd probably buy it if it had a true adjustable(+/-) trip meter- not just a reset-able one. Personally, I don't know alot about GPS and units strangely- since I have files on my computer and send the USFS pemits using GPS tracks- But I have a 'guy' for that- and everybody has one I know. (I am cheap/ tight/ poorer than I wish and it just has not become a necessary thing for me- if I want to use one I have buddies who have 2-3 versions who bought the newest bestest when it came out.
They have been around a little while I think but reletively new. It uses Ordanance Survey maps (our national mapping service) so its ideal for finding trails here. It has a breadcrumb mode that dots the route you take so you can download it when you get home and save the trail but I guess it will be trial and error, lol. I bought this 2nd hand and I just returned it to Satmap and they put the new motherboard (its existing 'old' one wouldn't work with the latest PC software) and gave it a full overhaul, seals screen etc for £70. I'm new to all this GPS stuff so its going to be fun...
