Donation of Satmap Active 10 GPS Unit by Satmap Systems Limited
Following an initial approach to the team (and other MRTs and SARDA) at the September 2008 Mountain Rescue Conference, in early October 2008 the team received a Satmap Active 10 GPS unit and associated accessories valued at nearly £500.00 from Satmap Systems Limited for a free trial and evaluation period by the Bolton Mountain Rescue Team.
This unit has been described widely within the UK outdoor press and outdoor magazines as the most user friendly GPS ever, with Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 maps displayed in full detail on a large full colour screen.
The trial and evaluation period with our team has now ended with the excellent news from Satmap Systems Limited that they have donated the unit to the team completely free, indeed in a fantastic and very supportive gesture to UK Mountain Rescue in general, they have offered all the UK MRTs and SARDA units that have had the Satmap Active 10 units on trial the opportunity to retain completely free of charge their Satmap units if they so wish.
The Bolton Mountain Rescue Team is very grateful to all at Satmap Systems Limited for their kindness in this wonderful donation, and would like to thank in particular Lewis Price, Sales and Marketing Executive, and Richard Calthrop-Owen, Director, for their support and interest in the work of the Bolton MRT and UK Mountain Rescue and SARDA in general.
A link directly to the website of Satmap Systems Limited can be found within the ’Links’ page of our website (and here).
Previous articles relating to this Satmap Active 10 GPS unit can be found within the teams website ’news’ pages dated Sunday 5th October 2008 and Friday 10th October 2008.
There follows below an evaluation report dated 20th December 2008 on the Satmap Active 10 unit, by experienced team call out list member (also our Honorary Medical Equipment Officer) Mark Scott, which has also been supplied to Satmap Systems Limited.
