My Satmap Story
We hear great stories about how you are using your Satmap GPS. There are instances where it has literally saved lives by getting folk off the hills in an emergency, for some it has opened up new adventures, and for others it has helped you to do your jobs more efficiently. We'd love to hear your stories that will inspire fellow users. Please email your experience to info@satmap.com and if we publish it on satmap.com we'll give you a free map worth up to £100 as a thank you. Please remember to send us a photo too!

Jan 2010 Active 10 Helps Lake District Rescue!
Last Thursday I was out on a walk in the Lake District with a friend. Whilst traversing the shoulder of a hill I stepped on to an innocent looking slab of rock. Unfortunately for me it wasn't as innocent as it looked! The slimy surface meant that I had no grip on it at all. My outside foot slid into the hillside which meant my upper body went away...very rapidly. The result was that I was thrown off the slab and somersaulted, head first, into the rocks a few feet below.
Dec 2009 Staying on course during the Welsh 3000s
I've owned a Satmap Active 10 for almost a year now, and it has certainly proved its worth many times, including my first attempt at the Welsh 3000s challenge in June 2009. This involves climbing all 15 of the Welsh mountains over 3000 feet within 24 hours, and traverses some of the most gruelling country in Snowdonia, from knife edge scrambles on Snowdon, to the broad featureless domes of the Carneddau.
