Satmap

[Philm4]

Are there any other dedicated GPS units that can do what this does for a similar price that I should consider? Just want OS mapping and a long battery life with PC connectivity for downloading waypoints.

Don't know the price of the SatMap but you can do a similar thing by putting Memory-Map on a PDA that either has a built in GPS or if the PDA has Bluetooth get a Bluetooth GPS mouse.

I have a SPV M1300 Orange mobile phone/PDA with Memory Map on it and use a Bluetooth GPS mouse (that can simply be in your pocket). I have quite a few 1:25k OS Memory Maps and just load the ones I need onto the SPV memory card, along with any waypoints I might want - as far as I can see it does the same as the SatMap.
