Satmap is pleased to announce the release of software version 1.42 for the Active 10 sports GPS.
Resolved Issues:
- When coming out of Hibernate Mode, the unit will now always read the SD Card without it needing to be re-inserted.
- The Set Trip Data option in Settings is now accessible on all versions of the products.
- The memory usage in relation to POIs has been improved.
- For customers using early versions of the unit which are displaying UK vector road maps (this is the simple base map which ONLY shows roads and is NOT the 1:250k OS map), v1.42 will now display roads names.
- The Default Key now resets ALL settings to original configuration.
- If there is only one route it is no longer automatically activated – the user has to set this now.

The Guardian has an article on the planned shake up of Whitehall.
It included the following
A total of £16bn will be saved by pressing ahead with the sale of public assets from April. Assets for sale will include the Dartford crossing, the Tote, the student loans portfolio, Ordnance Survey and the Land Registry. In some cases ministers will wait for assets to recover their value after the recession. “This is not a firesale,” Byrne says. “But this is stuff we will bring to the market when the price is right over the next two to three years.” Assets such as British Waterways will be reorganised as mutuals.

Garmin has today announced two new touchscreen models. The Dakota10 & Dakota20, pictured here.
Physically smaller than the iconic Garmin eTrex, Dakota boasts a much bigger color display thanks to the 2.6-inch glove-friendly touchscreen.
Lightweight, rugged and waterproof, Garmin’s new Dakota devices quickly acquire and maintain satellite reception – even in heavy tree cover or deep canyons – thanks to a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFixTM, which automatically calculates and stores critical satellite information and can use that information to quickly calculate a position. Everyone from geocachers and youth scouts to surveyors and hunters can take advantage of Dakota’s 850 MB of internal memory, which can store up to 1,000 waypoints, 50 routes, 2,000 geocaches and an active tracklog of up to 10,000 points and 200 saved tracks.
The Dakota20 adds even more features, including a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, a microSD card slot for increased mapping and memory storage, and wireless unit-to-unit connectivity for sharing your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with compatible Dakota, Oregon, Colorado and Foretrex devices. Dakota 20’s 3-axis, tilt-compensated electronic compass shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without needing to hold it level.

From UKGadgeteer:
SatMap, the makes of the SatMap Active 10 (and SatMap Active10 Plus), have this week released a new version of their PC software, and a new firmware for the Active 10 devices to go with it. For us, the key new feature is the support of geocaching.com GPX files, giving you a full range of information about the geocaches; offering hints, cache descriptions, terrain, difficulty, and logs.
