Thanks for the replies. The salesman did dismiss the Satmap as not rugged and seemed to dismiss it with a wave of his arm, and for what he said appeared expensive.

.map is just a .gpx that SatSync has run through some code to standardise (and simplify?) the tags/data when you select the Import function in SatSync.

Is your software 1.2 or 1.3?
(Look in - Settings - About)
If it is 1.2, then update via the website.
If it is 1.3, you may have a faulty unit.
I used to lock-up frequently when 1.2, but ... |
