Hi PloddinPedro,
Thanks for that.
I hear Satmap are going to issue a full instruction set, probably via the website. That would help solve a few bits and bobs.
How is your A10 ? Do you find it bett ... |

Hi Matltby,
I am using the device off road. The only problem I've had is the batteries shaking when the device was new. I adjusted the retaining clips (consulted Satmap first !) to keep the batteries ... |

Hi Mike,
Thanks for that. I'm currently carrying 3 NH batteries in the front pouch of the carry case. I don't think they will short out, but I'll take extra precautions.
Is it an issue to leave them ... |

Hi Robs,
I've found that software 1.03 improves the speed of zooming and all the other actions. It's worth a try. If not, I would send the unit back for them to fix/ check etc. I'm sure they will do ... |

Since my last post 2 days ago, I left mine on for 4 hours and it went dead. I think the standard alkaline batteries look to last about 6 hours.
I must get some rechargeables too, or go for the Satmap ... |
