Hi folks,
Saw this at the Ordnance Survey outdoor show:

http://www.satmap.com

Looks like a cool device, available in June for 300UKP (disclaimer: thats what
the guy on the stand said).

Had a chat with one of the sales guys about it. There are some downfalls though,
no NMEA output yet, it's version 1 (usual early adopters disclaimer applies). 
It's aimed sqaurely at the outdoor market, so no road navigation. So, no one
GPS for all uses. Claimed to have a long battery life. Apparently it can collect
stats about trips, but I didn't find out how much memory it had or how it can
get that info to other devices.  

It uses OS maps on a SD card. Would be interesting to see what format the maps
come in and how easy it would be to create maps.
