Satmap Unveils New Alpine Mapping

If you're heading for the Alps this summer you can now take advantage of Satmap's exclusive access to high quality German and French Alpine maps for your Active 10. A partnership with IGN (the French equivalent of the Ordnance Survey) and DAV (German Alpine Club) means you can now get seamless mapping across France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The IGN maps come on SD cards for each of the 21 regions at 1:50k with an RRP of £54.99. The DAV maps come from the German Alpine Club and are considered by many to be the best mapping available for major resort areas across the whole of the Alps. Satmap are the only GPS manufacturer in the world partnered with DAV - so you won't find these maps for any other GPS. Covering all 35 regions on a single card at 1:25k the DAV maps are available through the web shop at £89.99.

Alpine ascents usually involve a fair degree of direct contact with the rock, and the potential for scratching the large screen is quite high - but you can now get a virtually unscratchable Zagg InvisibleSHIELD™ which is an exceptionally clear and virtually indestructible film that will protect your Active 10 from unsightly scratches. It applies directly to the Active 10 providing the toughest, most durable protection you will find. It is so tough that Zagg back it with a lifetime guarantee. If you ever need to remove the invisibleSHIELD it comes off clean and leaves no sticky residue. Priced at £14.99 you can find out more at www.satmap.com.
