Customer Reviews
I must admit, when I read the early reviews before purchasing this item, I was concerned that I might be buying a bit of a lemon. However, looking into the specs revealed that the system is based on a Microsoft Windows CE platform, which means that it's software can easily be updated by Satmap users as and when the company releases fixes and other software upgrades. As many of the original issues mentioned in the reviews on here had already been addressed by a major update, I bit the bullet and bought one. The unit is easy to operate straight out of the box, with the menu system being quite intuitive. Construction seems sturdy and well thought out. In use, it took 2-3 mins to get a satellite lock and performed (almost) faultlessly and certainly no worse than the Garmin I was used to. I bought the optional Lithium rechargeable battery with it, and found the battery life to easily exceed 8 hours, with the display switched on permanently at max brightness. I think with some basic energy saving i.e. putting the screen saver on I should get at least 12 hours before having to worry about what the battery is doing. I did experience a few weird things with the version of the software installed on the device when I bought it, but upgrading to the latest version (A simple and trouble free procedure) resolved the occasional lock-up and added some good stuff like the new direction indicator. People, this device keeps improving with every software release and the folks at Satmap have an ongoing development program which will keep looking after us, the users. I have now used the device for 7 months and still love it. It has been out in the sun, wind and snow, it has been dropped, soaked and banged about but still works perfectly, even in really low temperatures. It really is the holy grail of walkers... OS mapping on a hand held GPS. With the latest release of software Satmap have proved they are committed to their users and that they listen to what they want. A truly excellent product....By This device has now matured to fulfil it's early promise
