1.00 Overview

Welcome to the world of GPS mapping!

The Active 10 is an intuitive unit, easy to use. Switch it on, wait for a couple of minutes and your position is shown as being the centre of the screen. As you move, so does the map. The unit is weatherproof and the screen is backlit which means it can be used day or night in any weather.

OS maps are sold separately on SD cards.

The unit is supplied with a world map showing major roads, towns and cities and a UK road map.

The Active 10 is a standalone unit and you can plan routes on it whilst in the great outdoors. Satmap’s online Route Planner allows the download of pre-planned routes, the upload of routes for editing and the printing of a paper version of the route to take as back-up when outdoors.

The rock-steady bike bracket accessory makes the unit ideal for mountain biking and the unit is tailor-made for geocaching.

1.01 Getting Started

Outdoors, the unit should get a lock within three minutes. If it takes much longer, please contact Satmap. Hibernate mode allows rapid satellite lock as the unit remembers the satellites' position (available via the Platform Software Upgrade card from satmap.com).

In this manual, displays of mapping are referred to as ‘screens’ and displays of other

information are referred to as ‘pages’. The main mapping screen is titled GPS Map (section 3.00). Use the zoom buttons, shown in section (ii), for detail/perspective.

Moving the joystick changes the screen to the PLANNING screen (section 6.00); the blue position indicator circle will move away from the middle of the screen as you control the joystick to move the map. A visual cue that you are in planning mode is the orange locator circle which has longer crosshairs. In planning mode you can plan routes and also study the map using the joystick to pan (keep it pressed in the desired direction and the map moves faster).

Although you will not get more detail than that available with 1:25k scale mapping, zooming

in to closer scales allows magnication of

detail which is sometimes hard to make out on paper maps.

Whilst stationary, the unit will appear to be recording travelled distance and ascended height. This is due to the way GPS works. On car devices, ltering and ‘locking’ masks the effect, but the Active 10 is designed for a different purpose and its sensitivity means

that incremental differences in ‘xes’ accrue,

resulting in an incorrect log. The unit gives accurate data once moving.

The TRIP LOG page has a Start/Stop button for data logging. To clear previous data, press the Menu button, then choose a reset option. To begin data logging, press Start. If you pause, say, for lunch, press Stop but

remember to press Start when you resume. Press Stop when you nish the route. A Stop/ Record icon next to the battery indicator shows whether the data log is paused or recording.

Until Reset is pressed, the unit will operate as if you are following a single route. This means that if you press Stop, then relocate by car for example, on pressing Start again the car journey is represented by a straight line crumb trail and the data log will incorporate the car journey.

An advantage of buying the rechargeable battery is that you should always be able to set off with a fully charged battery which means no break in contacts whilst changing batteries, hence no loss of logged data. A second advantage is that the rechargeable battery

lasts signicantly longer than AAs.

To conserve battery power: press the front right button until you see ‘Settings’, select

Settings, then Power Control and then adjust Automatic Screen Turn Off (to, say, ‘Off after

3 minutes’) by pushing the joystick sideways. Press Done, then Map. The Trail Up facility is disabled when in powersave mode.

As with most software products, there will always be ongoing updates and developments. We strive continually to improve our product and value any feedback you may like to share with us. Please remember to register your Active 10 online so that we can notify you of updates which are available for download from our website.

2.00 Introduction

The Satmap Active 10 has been designed for use in outdoor sports such as walking, mountain biking, geocaching, orienteering, cross-country horse riding, family cycle rides and many other outdoor activities. Although robust and rugged it has not been designed to be your sole navigational aid. Since, like all electrical devices, the batteries can run out, we strongly advise users to carry paper mapping as a back up. A paper map of your location can be printed from our website's Route Planner (UK). It is also advised that users are familiar with mapping cartography and can read and understand map symbols. (The symbols for both the OS Explorer 1:25,000 (1:25k) and Landranger 1:50,000 (1:50k) series mapping are given on our website.) The Satmap Active 10 is an enriching and valuable aid to the outdoor experience, allowing you to focus on your sport without worrying about your location.

This product is sold in conjunction with Satmap’s terms and conditions of sale. Please be aware that Satmap Systems Ltd. will upgrade this product on an ongoing basis and therefore this manual will be amended from time to time.

2.01 The Global Positioning System (GPS)

The GPS system is a U.S. space-based global radio navigation system. GPS is made up of three parts; between 24 and 32 satellites orbiting the earth, four ground stations and the GPS receivers owned by users. It took 20 years to get the required 24 satellites in orbit and the system became operational in

1994. It is maintained by the U.S. government (currently costing $400 million a year), and is a free service offered for the public good.

2.02 How GPS Works

GPS works by measuring your location relative to four or more satellites simultaneously. Knowing the exact location of the satellites, the receiver (Active 10) can determine its latitude, longitude and height whilst at the same time synchronizing its clock with the satellites’ atomic clocks.

In addition to being an accurate location device, the Active 10 is a precise timepiece and can therefore perform forward speed calculations.

2.03 SatSYNC

SatSYNC is free software available for download from our website. It allows you to connect your Active 10 to a PC via a standard USB connection. With this software you can upload/download routes and Points of

Interest. These les can then be shared via

2.00 Introduction

e-mail, forums (eg. the Satmap Route Share Forum) or viewed on PC based mapping systems compatible with the Satmap format (eg. the Satmap Online Route Planner).

To view your trail on a PC:

• Connect the Active 10 to a PC

• Open SatSYNC

• Select the trail data (a .gpx le) and copy

this to your desktop

• Import the le to your PC mapping system

eg the Satmap Online Route Planner or

Google Earth. (Sections 7.04 & 9.07)

2.04 Base Mapping

The Active 10 is supplied with a 1:1,000,000 scale road map of the UK and a world map at 1:30,000,000.

1:25k and 1:50k Ordnance Survey mapping is available on SD cards and a large selection of maps is on sale from the Satmap website. Our popular custom mapping is centred on a location of your choosing, thereby eliminating the problems traditionally encountered when you reach the edge of a map.

Once a map card is inserted, zoom ‘through’ the base mapping to see more detail. On premium map cards, you can zoom seamlessly between 1:50k and 1:25k scale mapping.

2.05 Battery Insertion

The Active 10 is powered by either three AA batteries or a rechargeable battery (sections 11.03 & 11.04). AA batteries vary

signicantly in power and life from one type

to another. The most powerful on the market are the Lithium Energisers, a set of which are supplied with the Active 10. It is not advisable to use cheap batteries in the unit as they will have a short life.

2.06 Switching On and Off

When rst installed, the software allows users

to select the operating language. Whatever language is selected, the unit is then set for the appropriate GPS position: ie. selecting English sets up the GPS default to Great Britain.

After switching on the unit the GPS STATUS page (section 4.04) will load up, the bars at the bottom of the page indicate how many satellites are in range of the Active 10.

When the bars turn from yellow to orange this shows that the unit has locked on to that

specic satellite. In general the unit needs a

minimum of four satellites to get a lock.

To switch the unit off, press the On/Off button and a Power Off? page is displayed in order to prevent accidental switch-off; select Yes. Your data will be saved before power off. If no selection is made after 10 seconds the unit will revert to the previous page.

2.07 Map Card Insertion

The map card door is hinged at the bottom and opens from the top downwards. When inserting the card please ensure that the label is facing you with the arrow pointing inwards.

2.08 Keyboard Lock

The Power Off? page has a padlock (keypad lock) icon by the On/Off button. Press the On/ Off button to lock the keypad. A padlock icon is displayed by the battery indicator.

To unlock the keypad press any button and an Unlock? page is displayed. Select Yes to unlock the keypad. If no selection is made after 3 seconds the unit will revert to the previous page.

2.09 Battery Indicator & Stop/Record Icon

The battery indicator is solid for new or fully charged cells. As the charge decreases it is broken into four bars which then reduce. When a single bar remains, it is coded red. After some further time (depending on the power source and the activity ie. load), there is an on-screen warning that the unit will power off in 30 seconds and a countdown is shown.

If you are using the rechargeable LiPol battery (section 11.00), during charging the

battery indicator has a lightning ash. When

you disconnect the unit from the power supply, the indicator is solid if fully charged.

Successful satellite lock (a ‘x’) is indicated

at the top left of the screen, by the red cross turning to a green signal icon. The number of green crescents represents received signal strength. A weak lock is indicated by a single crescent plus a ‘2D’ caption (section 4.04).

The unit is WAAS/Egnos enabled. This means users in the south of England and mainland

Europe are able to benet from ‘differential’

GPS when one of the EGNOS satellites is in view (section 15.00). When this service is available, the green signal crescents turn blue and accuracy is enhanced. The unit does not lock on to the EGNOS satellites in the same way as with the GPS satellites, because they transmit a different type of data. On the GPS

STATUS page, when visible, the EGNOS

satellite icons (numbered 122, 124 and 126) remain yellow and do not turn orange.

Your position is shown as a blue dot in the centre of the screen. Once moving, a pointer appears on the blue circle, indicating the current direction of travel. As you move, a snail trail of red dots is laid down, indicating the path you have taken. (To change the dot size, see section 8.00).

Trail Up mode orientates the map so that it matches your surroundings, similar to turning

a paper map as you ‘nd your bearings’. The

North Up / Trail Up button cycles through

North Up / Trail Up / Trail Up (Low). Trail Up (Low) mode positions the locator circle low on the screen so that you can see more mapping ahead of your position.

The 4 data box option is not available in the Trail Up (low) mode as it would obscure the locator circle.

Note: Trail Up is not available in advanced power saving mode. (A prompt page will remind you). This is because the screen refreshes more frequently in Trail Up, drawing more power.

3.01 Toggleable Maps

The toggle maps button can be used to toggle between different maps on toggle-enabled map cards without needing to zoom in and out. It will toggle between the map layers at a particular point.

If a toggle-enabled map card is loaded, a mini toggle icon appears next to the Stop/Record icon and the toggle maps button is enabled

(gure 3.00).

Note: Not all maps are toggleable. Maps are available from the website, which are marked with a toggle icon (see below). Look for the toggle logo on all of our toggle-enabled products. The toggle function can also be added to existing map cards (see website for further details).

of red dots into a trail (yellow line).

Waypoints will automatically be added at key points on the map. As these are computer generated, the positions should be checked and where appropriate, amended to ensure they are practical from a user’s point of view. When the Track has been created, this can be viewed on the unit or can be shared using the SatSYNC program (free download from www.satmap.com).

page there is a list of all the trip data attached to each waypoint on the route (Figure 4.04a).

Figure 4.04a

Figure 4.04

The terms Route, Track and Trail are used to allow differentiation between direction information:

Trail: this is the path that has been taken,

shown as a line of red dots (‘snail trail’).

Route: this is the planned path users intend to

take. It is shown as a yellow line and will have waypoints laid down at key turning points.

Track: when a snail trail is saved it is

converted to a track (section 4.04), and is shown as a yellow line. It is called a Track to differentiate it from a Route,as it can also contain the trail data log.

4.05 GPS STATUS

4.05 GPS STATUS Page

(GPS Map → MAIN MENU → COMPASS → TRIP LOG → GPS STATUS)

After rst use (when the language is selected), this is the screen that is rst

displayed when switching on the unit (unless there is already a map card inserted in which case the unit will briey show the Map Packs page, see section 3.01).

The elliptical diagram represents the sky above you where North is up. Satellites visible to the unit are allocated numbers and also shown on the bar chart. Yellow bars indicate the unit can see a satellite. The bars change to orange when the unit has acquired a lock. There are also indications of Signal to Noise Ratio (Av SNR and Max SNR).

On acquiring lock, the GPS STATUS will go to the GPS Map screen. For best results in achieving satellite lock the unit should be showing the GPS STATUS page.

Before acquiring a lock, details of your last known position, with time and date, are shown at the top of the page. Once you have a lock, your coordinates and elevation are shown.

To access the GPS STATUS page from the

GPS Map screen, keep pressing the Page

button (front right button) until you reach the

GPS STATUS page.

The upper section of the GPS STATUS page shows details of your last known location, including time, date and grid reference. (Grid reference format options are given in GPS

Settings, section 5.07, ‘Position Display

Format’).

As a guide, a minimum of four satellites are needed to acquire lock and the Signal to

Noise Ratio (SNR) gure should be 30+.

The signal indicator (either red cross or green signal icon) indicates the strength of signal received by the unit. The GPS indicator caption at the bottom of the screen either says ‘Acquiring GPS’ or gives accuracy to within a certain distance.

If the unit is receiving a poor signal eg. under wet tree canopy, it may only be able to give two dimensional data (losing elevation data). Under these circumstances the elevation caption at the top right of the screen will show

‘2D’ instead of an elevation gure. The signal

received icon at the top left will also show a single green crescent plus ‘2D’.

When the ‘Calibration Required’ prompt is displayed at the bottom of the COMPASS page, follow the on-screen instructions. Press

1) Hold GPS level

2) Press Start

3) Turn device around in TWO full circles (720 degrees)

4) Press Stop when completed turning or cancel to quit.

An on-screen message ‘Keep turning’ is replaced with ‘Completed. Press Stop’.

Due to the earth’s changing magnetic eld,

the unit’s on-board electronic compass should be re-calibrated every six months.

In practice other considerations should also be taken into account.

When moving, it is better to use the GPS heading as opposed to the electronic compass. (Achieved by setting the override speed fairly low eg the default setting of 2 kph, see GPS Settings, section 5.07). The GPS requires forward motion to provide a heading; it will not work when static.

The electronic compass is affected when brought into proximity with metal objects which means for example, that once mounted on a bike’s handlebars it should be re-calibrated. To do this follow the instructions exactly as you would if the unit were in your hands, when asked to turn the compass in two full circles (720°) you should pick up the bike with the unit and rotate as indicated.

When subsequently removed and used for walking, a further recalibration is required.

It should also be re-calibrated when a different battery type is inserted, due to the varying metal content from one battery type to the next.

9.00 POI Menu

(GPS Map → MAIN MENU → POI Menu)

A Point Of Interest (POI) is a specic point

on the map with some level of detail or information attached.

If there are POIs stored on the unit and also on a mapcard, two folders will be shown, called Internal Storage and SD Card. The folders contain POI categories, each of which in turn contains one or more POIs.

POIs may be added either using the

POSITION INFO page (section 8.00) or the Add New POI page (section 9.01).

When the rst POI is laid down, a POI

category is automatically created for it. By default it is called My POIs until it is renamed (section 9.04a). Also, the Internal

Storage folder is automatically created.

POIs may be moved to an SD card (sections

9.04g & 9.04h). When this happens the

SD Card folder is automatically created.

9.01 Add New POI Page

(GPS Map → MAIN MENU → POI Menu →

9.07 POI Folders via SatSYNC

9.07 Create POI Folders Using SatSYNC

A new POI folder can be created in the same way as with routes (section 7.04).

Connect your Active 10 to a computer and open SatSYNC.

To be able to create a new folder, you must

rst create a new POI (section 9.01). This

creates a POI category which can be seen in the left pane, ‘My POIs.map’.

Using the right pane (SD Card Files) press the Create a new folder button. Enter a name, eg. Pubs. The new folder will not show on the Active 10 until a POI category is added.

Note: In SatSYNC, the name of a folder is preceded by a folder icon. The name of a POI category has a .map extension and is preceded by a blue page icon. You can see the POI folders and categories in SatSYNC but not individual POIs.

To add a POI category, highlight the new folder in the SD Card Files pane and open it by pressing the Open a folder button above the pane. From the left pane (Internal Files), highlight then drag across an existing POI category or select an existing POI category and click on the Copy/Move les to the SD

Card buttons above the pane. You can also

drag across or import POI les from your

computer.

Each time a POI category is added/deleted the unit will default to the Map Packs page while the folder information is updated.

Note: In SatSYNC, you cannot open POI categories to view individual POIs therein. However, you can open POI folders.

Once a POI category is stored in the newly created subfolder on the SD Card, a folder appears in the root of the POI Menu under ‘Active 10’ entitled ‘SD Card’.

Further sub folders are created in the same way.

To delete a folder on the unit, delete all POI categories in the folder and press Up folder. The unwanted folder disappears. To delete a folder in SatSYNC, press the Delete an

existing folder button above the pane.

POI categories can also be stored on the internal storage of the unit. This can be done either via SatSYNC, following the same process as above (using the left pane,

Internal Files, instead of the SD Card Files)

or on the unit itself. To do this, highlight a POI Category in the POI Menu on the unit, press Edit, then Move/Copy from SD card.

Once a POI category is stored on the unit, a folder appears under ‘Active 10’ entitled

Internal Storage.

11.00 Accessories

Among others, the following accessories are available from www.satmap.com:

11.01 Bike Mount

The Bike Mount has a very robust, exible tting which can be attached to any part of

the bike tubing. The back of the Active 10 is replaced with an adapted back that has a moulded section which clips onto the ABUS bike mount. (See Satmap website for user guide).

11.02 Vehicle Mount

The Vehicle Mount is a tough unit designed for using the Active 10 GPS in motor vehicles. It has a powerful suction cup for attachment to smooth surfaces such as a windscreen. It

can also be tted to any at surface, such as

the dashboard, using the adhesive Mounting Plate. This product will primarily appeal to drivers of off-road vehicles where navigation on accurate topographical mapping is a must.

11.03 Standard Power Bundle

The Standard Power Bundle includes a rechargeable Lithium Polymer (LiPol) 2700mAh battery which, between charges, gives a longer life than AA batteries, either conventional or rechargeable. The LiPol battery may be charged without removal from the Active 10 via a USB connector, either from a mains socket, laptop, computer or car cigarette lighter.

The LiPol battery is supplied 50% charged. It will take about 3 hours for the initial full charge. A normal full charge will take 7 hours. It is recommended to charge overnight if the battery is very low.

If you are using the optional Lithium Polymer

battery, please refer to the instructions leaet

which accompanies the product. When plugged in to charge, the unit will switch itself on. You should switch the unit off, which will only turn the screen off, but save unnecessary power draw.

11.04 Slimline Power Bundle

The Slimline Power Bundle gives users the option of using a thinner, lighter battery in

a low prole battery back. This makes the

product smaller and lighter, and is designed to meet the needs of users who take shorter routes and prefer to use rechargeable batteries.

The low prole means the Active 10 can t

into your pocket without the need for a Carry Case. This smaller battery gives typical users a battery life of approximately 6-8 hours in Advanced Power Saving Mode.

11.07 Screen Cover

The removable Screen Cover is made of tough polycarbonate and easily replaced, ensuring the view of the map is always at its best and never obscured by scratches.

11.08 ZAGG’s InvisibleSHIELD

ZAGG’s invisibleSHIELDTM is a clear and

virtually indestructible lm that will protect

your Active 10 from unsightly scratches.

11.05 Carry Cases (Standard & Deluxe)

The Standard Carry Case has a padded compartment for the Active 10, closed with a Velcro top for fast access, and an elasticated front mesh for additional storage.

The Deluxe Carry Case has a main padded compartment for the Active 10 itself and a secondary compartment, ideal for storing spare batteries, map cards, car keys, small mobile phone, etc. There are also two mesh pockets on either side. The zips are covered

to provide weatherproong, and an additional

elasticated front mesh provides further storage.

Both cases can be carried by a 4" belt loop or

by the D-Ring ttings on each side designed

for use with the Lanyard.

11.06 Lanyard

The Lanyard is 1.3m long, branded with the

Satmap logo, and is adjustable to t most requirements. It has two ttings on each end:

a metal clip for attaching to the D-Rings on the side of the carry case, or a nylon hoop

tting for attaching directly onto the shoulders

of the Active 10 itself.

12.03 Specialised Custom Map Service

If Satmap does not have the map data, we can put your own digital map data onto an SD card. Our GIS specialists can convert almost any map into a format that can be viewed on our GPS unit.

12.04 Toggleable Map Service

Toggling is a new feature available only on version 1.4 of our platform software (downloadable for free from our software

page). Toggling allows the user to ick

between two map scales of the same area

– rather than zooming in all the way into

the 1:25,000 scale or all the way out to the 1:50,000 scale. You can jump between one scale and another at the push of a button! In

order to toggle a map (ick between the two scales), you rst need an SD card containing

two different map scales (ie. 1:25,000 & 1:50,000) with the required area overlapping. Toggleable Maps are being added www. satmap.com (see our current Challenge Series). However, it is possible to customise your own map and make your existing maps toggleable too.

12.05 Custom Mapping (GB only)

Custom Mapping allows you to create your own unique maps of the highly detailed Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale Explorer series. The result is that you get a map of exactly the area or areas you want, making it a very effective way of capturing your favourite outdoor areas on one map card.

12.06 Site-Centred Mapping (GB only)

For customers who want non-standard map areas, Satmap offers a bespoke service to create and supply map cards centred on a postcode, town, village, place or grid reference of your choice. The maps are the Ordnance Survey 1:25k Explorer range, and are available for the whole of Great Britain. Price is determined by the area covered.

There is a key difference between the Site-Centred Map service and the Custom Mapping:

• Custom Mapping allows you to create

irregular shaped maps.

• Site-Centred Maps are only supplied as a

square or rectangle.

12.07 Map Consolidation

Many of our customers are nding that the

Active 10 is so useful they are taking it everywhere with them. As a result, they are building up impressive collections of SD Cards. So that you don’t have to worry about keeping track of all these, we can add several of these maps together onto one consolidated SD Card. Depending on the size of the maps in question, this service might not always be appropriate, so please call us to check what is possible.

12.00 Services

Satmap offers a variety of services. Please check www.satmap.com for more information.

12.01 General Service

Whilst our unit is designed to withstand the rigours of outdoor sports, some of our customers have found that it is not indestructible! For those of you who now have units that are looking a little bit worse for wear, Satmap offers a General Service. For £25.00, you will get:

• Replacement front casework

• Replacement back casework (if needed)

• Replacement inner screen cover

• Replacement battery caddy (if needed)

• Replacement screen cover

• Software upgrade (if needed)

• Antenna check

• Full performance testing

Please allow 6–8 working days for Satmap to

complete this service.

12.02 World Base Map

The World Map is derived from data supplied by Collins Bartholomew. At 1:30 million you get an overview of the world and once you have zoomed down to 1:5 million you will see the major roads, towns and cities in every country. Such details provide a useful backdrop when you are using the Active 10 internationally.

12.00 Services

13.00 FAQs

13.00 General FAQs

Which mapscale is best for me?

It depends on where you intend to use the device. If you are using footpaths or bridleways (eg. walking/running/mountain biking) you will need the more detailed 1:25k, if you are using lanes/roads (eg. road cycling)

then 1:50k is ne.

When I buy a mapcard with both 1:25k and 1:50k mapping, how do I switch between the scales?

Zoom in on the 1:50k map and the unit will seamlessly switch to the 1:25k map and vice versa. If maps are toggleable, use the toggle button to switch between different scale maps.

When resuming normal function from the powersave screen off mode, will I have to wait for the unit to re-acquire lock or update the trip log stats?

No. Pressing any button instantly brings up the GPS screen with all functions updated.

Does the unit make any audible sound when you leave a planned route, ie. miss a turn?

No, but you will quickly spot any mistakes by the divergence of the snail trail from your route.

Why does my unit sometimes make beeping noises?

The unit will beep when it encounters Points Of Interest, Waypoints, GoTo Points or Routes. It will also beep when a map card is inserted (section 5.13), when the unit acquires lock, when a screenshot is taken (section 5.03a) and when POIs/routes are transferred.

Can the display be shown as Trail Up and North Up?

Yes. On the GPS screen, press the front left button to toggle between Trail Up and North Up.

Can I choose not to have the snail trail?

Yes. On either the GPS Map or PLANNING screen, centre press the joystick to go to the

POSITION INFO page. On the POSITION INFO page, the front right button cycles

through Turn Trail Small, Turn Trail Off and Turn Trail On.

How easy is it to follow my footsteps back down exactly, if weather closes in on a craggy route or summit?

No problem. Since your current position is shown by a blue locator circle and dot, it is easy to see it superimposed over the red dots when retracing your steps.

Why would I want to set a Go To point?

If you are on a route and the weather closes in, you may want to plot an emergency escape route. Set a GoTo point (sections 4.01 & 8.00), which creates a yellow straight line route between your current location and your GoTo point. You can then make your own route follow this route as closely as possible. It is a visual cue as to your emergency ‘exit’. A GoTo point is indicated on the map by a green

ag (there can only be one).

Can the unit be used in a car? Or an aeroplane?

The Active 10 can be used in a car (although no spoken directions are given) and also in an aeroplane, subject to operators’ regulations. The maximum operating forward speed of the unit is 780 mph.

When I’m stationary, why does my Active 10 trip log show increasing distance?

In the basic method of triangulation, small system errors give rise to something called the Circular Error Probability (CEP) value which determines the radius of a circle containing 50% of the GPS readings; this is one of the elements used by the unit in calculating its position. The more visible satellites there are, the smaller the CEP value and the more accurate the position given. Within a certain radius, the location pinpointed may vary slightly from one second to the next despite no forward movement. This incremental movement is cumulative.

13.00 FAQs

13.01 Mountain Biking FAQs

Is the unit robust enough to cope with the more severe shocks through the handlebars that off-road terrain gives?

Yes, the unit is able to cope with severe shocks. In development, the unit was test dropped from a height of one metre onto concrete in all planes. There have been more extreme instances reported with no damage resulting — this is not recommended!

Whilst travelling quickly, is the unit sensitive enough to display my real-time position so I don’t ride past turnings?

Yes. If there’s a lot of detail to sort out, just zoom in to be able to see what’s coming up ahead.

View full list of FAQs on satmap.com.

With forward motion of more than 2kph, the GPS location given is very accurate.

(Car GPS navigation systems disguise these effects; they use a road navigation database to draw road images, as opposed to accurate

cartographic images, and use ltering to ‘lock’

the position to a road.)

How do I remove the screen cover?

This needs to be done with care! The screen cover is held in place by three lugs. Using

ngernails or a small screwdriver, rst prise

loose the top lug (central position, under the ‘GPS’ logo). Then prise loose the two side lugs (just above the side buttons), one at a time. When replacing the new cover, reverse

the sequence of lugs, pressing each rmly

into place.

Note: When the cover is off, take care not to scratch or unnecessarily expose to moisture,

the screen beneath. Any debris eg. uff, bre

or dust on the screen should be removed with extreme care.

14.00 Troubleshooting & Tips

14.00 Troubleshooting

• If your unit fails to recognise a map card,

switch it off, remove the card, switch on and re-insert the card.

• If your screen ickers, wait 10 minutes or so and it should stop. Some ickering is normal

and happens when using a strong power source such as the supplied AA Lithium Energisers, the most powerful AA batteries on the market.

14.01 Tips

• Do not use alcohol wipes to clean the

screen as this will cause damage. In order

to preserve your screen cover for as long as possible, avoid contact with alcohol, oils and excessive heat. Always use a very soft cloth to clean.

• If water gets under the screen cover, gently

prise off the cover (section 13.00) and stroke away the moisture with a paper tissue, using only the weight of the tissue. Any direct hand pressure may mark the inner screen.

• Ensure the map card is dry before inserting

it into the unit.

• To prevent the screen inadvertently

switching from GPS Map to PLANNING, either lock the screen (section 2.08), or allow it to go into the powersave screen off mode before stowing it away.

• For best performance in acquiring satellite

lock, wait until lock is established before inserting a map card.

• To maximize battery life;

1. Use the screensave (‘Automatic Screen Turn Off’) mode which switches off the screen but keeps the GPS running.

2. Try to minimize the backlight setting as far as is practical.

3. Use hibernate mode - the unit can be switched off and will retain satellite position data. On switching the unit back on the last screen is shown and satellite lock takes only a few seconds.

• If you want to carry out route planning on

your Active 10, a good way to get more out of your batteries is to connect the unit to your pc or laptop.

• When not using the Active 10, it is

recommended that you take out the batteries. Even with the unit switched off, there is a small power draw which, over

time, can atten the batteries.

• Remembering to use the Stop (data logging)

button (section 4.03) is useful if you want a break and yet maintain a log of all trip statistics. Don’t forget to press Start once you are ready to go again, especially if it was a pub break! If you do not press Stop and you are stationary for a period of time, a snail trail ‘scribble’ will develop as the unit ‘hunts’ (section 13.00).

• To plan a route from a given set of grid

coordinates: On the PLANNING screen, go to the approximate area of the walk/activity. Go to ROUTES MENU (side button, lower left) and select Create New Route. The data box overlay gives the coordinates for the location of the crosshairs. Using the joystick, move the crosshairs until you have the desired grid coordinates showing and either press the ‘add waypoint’ button (side button, upper left) or centre press the joystick. Once all waypoints have been added, press Done.

• It is recommended that you make a back-up le copy of any maps that you purchase.

Back-up may be done either using a card reader or an SD card slot on your computer. If your map card data is corrupted or erased,

copy the le back onto the original card.

Data transferred to a different card will not be usable.

• The Active 10 is capable of acquiring lock on

the move, even whilst driving. However this can cause a delay in the time to get a lock

so it is advisable to allow the unit to get a x

whilst stationary.

• ‘Rangender’ functions:

Short range:

On the PLANNING screen, the blue locator circle which depicts your position in the centre of the GPS Map screen, is still active and shows you advancing across the screen. The data overlay shows the distance from the blue locator circle (your location) to the

14.01 Tips

orange locator circle which is now the centre of the screen, eg. position the orange circle at a target destination and follow progress of the blue circle as you walk towards the target.

Long range:

On moving the joystick, the GPS Map screen switches to PLANNING. The data overlay includes the distance from where you last had GPS lock. This is also useful in a variety of scenarios, eg. showing distance to the next waypoint, or in the car, distance to the next motorway services.

• Use a GoTo point as a rangender: Set

a GoTo point on your destination (section

8.00). Press ‘Lock to GPS’ (front left button) to return to the GPS Map screen. Select a data box overlay (section 3.00) and select GoTo Dist (section 5.04a). The data overlay will now show a straight line distance from your current location to the GoTo point.

• It can be useful to combine the advantages

of screensave mode (‘automatic screen turn off’, section 5.01) with the keypad lock (section 2.08). Whilst the unit is stowed the screen cannot be activated (even if the power button is pressed it will be activated only for the preset time until the screen switches off). To reactivate the unit, press the power button and select unlock.

Remote rangender: ‘Marker’

This function allows you to nd the distance

between two points. From either GoTo and

Marker Menu (section 10.00) or POSITION INFO (section 8.00), set a marker (red ag)

and then move the joystick; a red line is drawn from the marker to the point selected. The overlay shows the grid ref and altitude of the point selected, plus the distance and bearing to the point.
