Over at Pocket GPS World, they’ve published a full and frank review of the SatMap Active 10. They’ve covered all aspects of the device, in fact the only additional “Con” we would add to the Pros and Cons is the overall cost, especially if you want a lot of OS maps on the device. Head over to read the review.
As well as the UK OSM on Garmin Map we have already announced, we can now announce we will also be offering a UK OSM Cycle Map on Garmin devices. This takes the same OSM road data (although all normal roads are made slightly less prominent) and then the data on Cycle routes (NCN, LCN, etc.) is added to this, with these cycle routes given higher prominence. As you can see on the map above, the South Downs Way (which is a cycle route) is more prominent than the A27 also in the map.
Right now, this is also only available to our beta testers as we look to ensure it’s suitable for a wide range of devices before releasing.
If you want to become a Beta Tester, please follow the instructions here, which will give you access to both maps.
