It's really helped me get more enjoyment out of both activites.<br /><br />I hope you get plenty of enjoyment out of yours too!Richard Ehttp://www.outdoorsportsguide.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-27543942650546972502012-01-17T08:15:05.851+00:002012-01-17T08:15:05.851+00:00Hi Alan

The guide claims it can be used in rain but is not submersible - I always assume the worst where electronic devices are concerened anyway.I did wonder about buying the ProSHIELD to give extra protection but it looks a little bulky.<br /><br />I use a tiny srewdriver (for spectacle screws) to ease the connector out but it is, as you say a real pain.

I bought a tweezer which was made to remove mini car fuses and this works a treat. You can get them from any good car shop like Halfords or similar.<br /> The 10 plus is not waterproof so be extra careful to minimise water ingress.<br />Also when using the Li Pol battery i have noticed that the charge AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-12344038068478872252012-01-15T09:54:13.405+00:002012-01-15T09:54:13.405+00:00Martin - I'll let you know.

So far I like it and using the .gpx file exchange on Satsync makes copying routes between the Active 10 and Memory-Map easy. Gloriously cold, clear day here so off out.
