Thanks Jimmy. I think it comes down to personal preference, and I prefer the smoother SR maps. It's a shame, as high resolution OS maps look great on my iPhone in the OS app, but for real-world, foul- ... |

I recently revisited some of my old Active 10 map cards in my Active 12 unit. I was stunned to see that, although not as "sharp" as the HR mapping, I actually preferred the look of the standard resol ... |

I was hoping it would fix the compass freeze issue on the Active 12, but I can't get SatSync to see the Active 12 at all, so I can't update it! |

M8TJT is right; the Maplin assistant was talking nonsense. A device will attempt to draw the current it needs from the supply and no more; either the supply is capable of providing it (if it's rated a ... |

The warning from Satmap about only using one of their chargers is a bit disingenuous in my opinion. It's a standard micro USB connector, which means that the voltage and current ratings MUST adhere to ... |

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've just posted a question on that ebay item pointing out that Satmap may well have registration details of the owner of that device. I gave Satmap's phone number, so maybe if the seller is honest... |

If hi-res map cards are going to be sold for use with the Active 12, I hope Satmap have got a reasonable upgrade deal in the pipeline for those of us with a lot of expensive mapping in the original fo ... |
