Awards

Aug 2010 - Country Walking Overall GPS Winner - Best in Test

"The Active 10 PLUS seems to get better and better..."

"The huge screen is a delight to use, enabling you to see a fair bit of the surrounding terrain at a reasonable zoom level without having to scroll."

"Satmap offers use of its own web-based planning tool, which is wonderful and negates the need to buy digital-mapping"

"It is big, and it's heavy but if you want a GPS that displays Ordnance Survey mapping, it's definitely the best."

May 2010 - TGO Recommends Award

"The claimed battery life is good and I found this could be extended by using the power-saving mode and 'screen off after 15 seconds' options. Using these I got over 20 hours from a set of lithium batteries."

Jan 2010 - Trail Magazine Group Test Winner: 4.7 out of 5

"This device actually does make you wonder if you really need to carry that map and compass for navigation after all."

Jul 2009 - What Mountain Bike: GPS Test Winner

"The major draw of the Active 10 is that it works as a completely standalone unit. You can still upload pre-planned routes using Satmap's online software, but it's just as easy to work directly on the GPS, making it a versatile and straightforward alternative"
