Has anyone got any experience with the satmap gps? Looks like it might be good for off road routes and there is a bike mount available but not sure if it is any good for mcycles.
 
It's worth read up on it in the Pocket GPS World forum as people are still having problems. Biggest issue for me is there is quite a high current drain even when the thing is supposedly switch off (35ma). Before the Li-pol battery came out the manual told you to remove the batteries when you weren't using it. If you didn't they were flat in a couple of days. Same problem seems to exist with the Li-pol battery but it takes longer.

I've had a play with one and its great to see a 'real' map especially if you can afford the explorer 1:25000 series maps.
