I'm a total GPS novice, thinking about buying a Satmap 10 mainly for hill-walking & cycling in the UK. I already own an extensive selection of Memory Map software, so I really don't want to have to buy the OS mapping cards all over again. So, forgive me if this is a dumb question, but can I simply export my MM maps to a suitable SD card, then use them with the Satmap? I see from other threads that I can export individual routes - does this mean that when I import them onto the GPS, I'll see the route complete with the associated OS mapping?

Many thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the Satmap will only work using their own mapping cards. When you import a route all you will get is the route that can then be superimposed onto the satmap mapping. This has been a subject of much discussion on this forum.

as pointed out above you need to buy the relevant map for the area.
Its a bummer but then OS are a grasping organisation.

What you can do though is send the saved track from the Satmap to memory map to show it in all its glory.

Another dumb question from a novice. How do you send a route saved on your satmap to memory map software on a pc?? or to google earth for that matter as I read on another thread.

Thanks, sorry if this too basic a question.

Export as .gpx using the free Satsync software that is available for the Active10 from the Satmap website, then Import to Memory-Map or LiveMap or TheHug, WhereisthePath, etc....
