No shortage of advice on Satmap price here, but if you're still waivering take a look in the latest (April) issue of TGO this month. Chris Townsend has an in depth test of GPS devices (guess which com ...

And thats one of the key reasons why I’m considering a Satmap; its so we can spend more time enjoying the walk and less time consulting the map.

That's exactly why I use the Satmap, so this is a ...

Firstly if you're walking in places where getting lost could put you in danger (I'm thinking mountains) then you really need to know how to use a map and compass. Although very reliable your Satmap ca ...

Hi there is a thread on here somewhere that colated a number of users reports on battery life - about a year ago. It would be worth hunting down.

Using all the power saving options I could muster, ...

Can't help with your problem, but I can describe a similar experience:

I had a problem with gpx route which caused pretty much the same problem (not from Walking World) with the unit freezing unpre ...

Thanks folks, as long as the fix comes quickly - which it seems to - then this is a very useful feature

Ahhhhhhhh the penny drops Very Happy

Many thanks.

So just to clarify:

If I set hibernate mode to 4 hours, when it hibernates - that state will last for 4 hours before complete power off?

If so, ...

Having just upgraded to v1.4 I had a peek at the hibernate mode function. This seems to set a time of 1hr, 2hr, 3hr ... etc

I'm assuming that this is the time for which the Satmap needs to have bee ...

I use the Satmap mainly for walking for which I think it's very very good. I agree with Bosun about the route colour/ width/ transparency. If it weren't for that I'd give it an excellent rating. Impro ...

Cheers Tim - very useful to know.

I like the idea. I usually set the beeper to ten beeps - then I get a clue that I need to turn - especially if it's an obscure side road, but it's not easy to hear it.
