Yes, fair points!
We have got and used a simple phone tracker with our bronze and silvers.....I feel that remote tracking makes the task somewhat easier, but you may be right!

You say OS maps: does it use OS Grid Refs as well as "long/lat" ?

hmmm...maybe time to investigate Android phones. I do wonder about the newer 7" tablets coming out, would be more 'screen estate' for mapping (but no doubt less battery life!)

thx !

If you can stretch a bit more the SatMap Active 10 with all UK 1:50K maps included is on offer to LDWA members at £265 !
If you don't need the 1:50K maps, it is £225 including extra battery, but for £40 it would be daft not to take it (IMHO !)

Bike mount would add another £20 (they also give 40% discount to members).
I haven't yet got mine, but the deal was fantastic value (of course I spent even more on a few maps, etc) and I have a hiking mate who *highly* recommends it !

cheers
Mike

mmmm, the missus isn't overly happy at my extravagent hike purchases: how about split the difference at £35 delivered ? I can pay by Paypal....

thanks
Mike
