Just had Satmap's puff. £450 for the A12. Don't think I'll be upgrading for the sake of a smaller, albeit higher resolution, screen and a glorified barometer. |

Does rather make you wonder if Satmap have lost the plot. From being the best OS-based device on the market, after all these years they seem to have only managed to make a few tweaks in what should h ... |

My A10 charges fine from what I suspect is a 500ma USB hub (certainly won't put out enough to charge an iPad). It takes a while, but then I usually leave it on overnight to charge after using it for ... |

Well, started trying to use the A10, but after the upgrade it is taking a long time to locate satellites. It took about ten minutes the first time. Trying again a few miles from home and it is still ... |

Satmap suggested the Help method of reinstalling the software and it appears to have worked fortunately.

OK, Satmap have been back to me and agreed to try the reinstall software option in Satsync, after which to remove battery, refit and restart. Rather disappointingly, they confirmed they would expect ... |

There response has been to ask me to send it i ... |

davidor: you aren't using a Mac are you? I've had no luck upgrading the firmware in my Active10 using Satsync for Mac, and have experienced the same lock up you have whenever I try; thankfully, I have ... |

I think most of Satmap's teething issues were with the release of the Active 10. I have broken two joystick buttons and 2 usb flaps. It seems by the posts that neither have been upgraded. For myse ... |
