Hi All,

I have just bought a Satmap active 10 GPS, does anyone know of any sites to download mtb route maps that are compatable? I'm a GPS novice any tips would be great.

Cheers,

Manny

you will be able to download .gpx routes through the satmap route share forum. you can also down load any .gpx file and it will load it through the satsync software.

you will need the relevant map card though to see the os mapping. otherwise your route will be laid over the road map.

what unit did you get? standard 10, 10 bike or 10 plus? where did you get it from? used it much yet?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I just got the standard active 10 off ebay 2nd hand (£200), with Cumbria and Lancashire maps included. I haven't even used it yet. I need to get the yorkshire maps first I live in Hull but often ride North York Moors / Dalby. I have bought the handle bar mount and a rechargeable battery.

Cheers,

Manny

[url= http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm ]This link will let you create routes[/url] in GPX and then you will be able to upload them to your unit via sat sync.

Can you get foreign road maps (Belgium in particular) for the Satmap?

Cheers josh. It's touring by bike we're interested in. Thinking of heading over in April to do some of the Tour of Flanders route.

Biketreks- Ambleside, Blazing Saddles- Hebden Bridge and All terrain cycles stock the active 10 and the Belgium map would be special order so allow 10days if you decide to get one. any further q's let me know.
