 |
|
Hi
I'm seriously considering buying a Satmap. One question for those of you who already own one: does it support the Irish Grid coordinate format?
I know Satmap will be introducing maps of NI/Ireland "soon" but I want to know if it'll be usable as a basic GPS over there in advance of that.
Thanks
Glenn. |

Proctog,
Having flicked through the Position Formats on the Active10 I can't see any mention of an Irish Grid.
If the availability of the Irish Grid is dependent on you purchasing a unit I would contact Satmap and ask them if if it is the pipeline.

Thanks for checking - it's not a deal breaker, since I've got an old Garmin eMap which I can use on trips to NI until SatMap supply maps of Ireland (in "Q2 2009" apparently ...)
Regards

| Irish Grid coordinates were apparently provided in the last software upgrade (v1.4), and some months after Satmap brought out the Irish Republic OS 1:50,000 map. There was no official announcement, and I only discovered they were on my Active 10 quite by chance! |

Both Ireland 65 and the recentally sidelined Irish ITM datums are there.
