Satellite Navigation for Walkers

Picture of Satmap Active 10
I've recently bought a Satmap Active 10 device to help me find my route and to record the speeds, distances and altitudes of my walks.

On this page I plan to put some useful tips and links for other users of this device.

Why I chose Satmap Active 10

I've had satellite navigation in my car for some time and whilst I actually enjoy reading a map have appreciated satellite navigation sometimes when I have got lost.  Whilst walking I have occasionally found a right of way obstructed and wondered whether I was actually where I thought I was!  I chose the Satmap Active 10 as I liked the large colour map and the fact that the device is deigned for out of door usage.
