I've not seen one in the flesh, but the one downside with the button interface is the reduced screen size. One of the big pluses of the Satmap Active 10, I think, is that the screen is so large.

£180 is affordable? Relative to a higher spec GPS, maybe but the vast majority of people may not agree that, in absolute terms, £180 is affordable. I don't think reviewers should be using such terms, at least not in the headline to a review.

Yes, I note that "affordable" is in inverted commas but still...
