SatMap Active 10 download routes?

marksimon69

Have got a SatMap Active 10 GPS which is a great piece of kit for off roading, but am at a loss to find anywhere that you can download routes to it. They all seem to be Garmin.
The actual SatMap web site wants to charge me about £70 to share routes on its site.

Any suggestions :?: :roll:

Can that SatMap load routes/courses/tracks (or whatever it calls them) in gpx format? Most units can read this and most sites will let you export the track in this format.

Cheers,

Andy

^^What he said, there is an app you put on the computer called Satsync you can upload .gpx files through that, it converts them to the Satmap system in the process, Satmap also have a mapping facility and routeshare resource you just need to go onto their website & register.

Edit: Sorry I didn't realise they now charge you for the map sharing, it was free when I joined... you can still upload any gpx through the Satsync software though

Hi,

Satmap still allow you to share routes for free, and they now also anyone to plan routes for free. They have launched a new online planning and sharing tool called Xpedition. You can subscribe to a free or premium account. I really love the full-screen and dual screen modes in the Planner tab.

Best wishes.

What method are you using to download and use on Satmap?

marksimon69

save GPX file to a folder, don't try to open it, and download folder to handheld via satsync
