I debated before purchasing the Satmap for myself and my Dad, did I really need yet another device? We're both keen hikers and wanted something to help us explore some less well known trails in the Bay Area. Just a few days in, we're both enamored with the ease of use and the quality of the product. The mapping from Nathional Geographic is detailed and the size of the screen is a bonus when navigating. My Dad isn't that techie and he loves it. Definitely worth the investment if you are outdoorsy.

This GPS Unit is £400 in Britain that's $628 in America,but even at this cheap price it's still way over priced,it's as if it's a prototype so could be good someday,but not now,for instance it's claimed to have an IP rating of 65,but using this thing in even slight rain isn't advised as water gets behind the back cover and behind the screen,also they quote up to 120 hours battery life,when you're lucky to get 12 hours out of it and it's very tedious to use without a computer,speaking of computers it only works properly on a PC and the online mapping service together with maps cost a fortune,personally I wish I bought a cheap GPS or a car type SATNAV than this.

This GPS looks like a great product. It has exactly the features and map detail I desire for day hiking. Unfortunately, SATMAP has only 12 National Geographic State Map cards currently available for the device (and none of them are where I live).

In addition, the National Geographic State Map cards cost $99.99 per state. If you are like me, and hike in five separate states (Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina) then the cost of the map cards becomes excessive.

I own National Geographic's TOPO software for my home PC, and use it to produce my own detailed trail maps. National Geographic bundled multiple states in their TOPO software (Georgia, Alabama, and Florida are together); I am waiting to see if they will do the same with their SATMAP map cards.
