Interesting. Does it improve the visibility. I have an HTC 'phone running Memory Map which is far easier to see than my A10.

I would be interested to know what HTC phone that is. Every one I hav ...

I'm very happy with that explanation.

Just goes to show that it IS a communications problem. If that had been posted on the website we would all, I am sure, have been satisfied.

Satmap hardly ever respond to emails but are very good if you telephone. It's almost as if they hate communicating by any other method other than by telephone.

As far as the route planner is concer ...

This is yet another public relations disaster. We all want Satmap to succeed but they seem to be going out of their way to alienate users.

I think that need to stop making promises they can't deli ...

There is the other option for high power rechargable AA cells, a couple of sets would get you through a weekend - Mike

I'd like to use the USB connection to access the internal memory to down/up load files to the desktop.

I usually transfer ...

Mine beeps. I can hear it, but it's quiet and high pitched so probably not audible by everyone. Ears become less sensitive to higher pitches with advancing age. I'm in me 40s. I wonder if a firmware u ...

Hi,

As I understand it the Ground Plane is the flat sheet of metal the "patch" antenna sits on. Generally the larger the ground plane the better the reception. The "patch" antenna and its ground pl ...

Hi,

Yesterday I found myself wandering down a minor road instead of my route because the colours are the same. Look me a few minutes to realise what had happened but will be more aware in future. ...

I thought POIs were a .map file

Should have said "Only .map files over a certain size".
