Magellan eXplorist 100

£70.00

This GPS unit from Magellan is very basic, tough, rugged and black and white, at a very affordable price. There’s no PC compatibility at all, though. It will give you an accurate grid reference on your exact position, and you can also input a route by hand. If all you want from a GPS is something to carry in your ...

Magellan Triton 300 2008

£130.00

Links to a PC via Magellan’s free download VantagePoint software but you need to import your route from Memory-Map into VantagePoint before downloading it. Tracklogs are uploaded in the same way. Navigating around the menus is easy enough with positive clicks as you scroll through the options, but the main control is fiddly to use with gloves on. Easy to ...

Garmin GPS 60

£139.00

This GPS from Garmin is very easy to use from the box, with a large clear screen and really simple functions, such as “Mark and Find”. A great selection of pages and it’s easy to switch between them, or even change the order, if necessary. Inputting routes or waypoints by hand is a slow process, but can be done quickly ...

Magellan Crossover GPS

£280.00

This motoring-style Sat Nav system from Magellan can also be used as a walking GPS, with preloaded, semi-detailed, topographic mapping. Not great on the hill, as it doesn’t use OS grid references and the topographic mapping isn’t detailed enough to navigate with on its own.

Satmap Active 10

£300.00

If you like design you’ll love this GPS receiver. Even the box oozes quality, with a clever retractable housing that instantly sets a new standard of packaging. Grab the Active 10, insert the supplied batteries and in minutes the screen illuminates with an impressive colour map with your location clearly marked. I dabbled with the six buttons and toggle before ...

Lowrance Ifinder Expedition C

£300.00

To download routes, they need to be converted to the right format and loaded on to a memory card using a PC card reader of some sort (not supplied). This card is then slotted into the GPS where the route can be transferred to the internal memory. A long-winded process that spoils an otherwise easy-to-use model with a large clear ...

Lowrance iFinder Expedition C

£325.00

This GPS unit from Lowrance requires that you first load routes on to a memory card on your PC, then transfer this data into the memory of the GPS unit – far too fussy. Other than that, it’s an easy unit to use, comfortable in the hand with simple menus, well laid-out function buttons and a huge and wonderfully clear ...

Garmin Oregon 300 2009

£330.00

In-car satnav is now so common that the humble road atlas is more often than not stashed away alongside the spare tyre, the red triangle and the rusty jump leads just in case there’s an emergency. These days a rolling road display with a polite voice instructing the driver when to turn off is how many of us travel the ...

Garmin Colorado 300*

£350.00

Thanks to an easy PC interface, downloading routes and uploading tracklogs is a cinch. However, rather annoyingly the unit locks itself when connected to the PC (meaning you can’t carry out other tasks) and switches off when it’s disconnected. The new iPod-style scroll wheel takes getting used to but works well, even with gloves, making navigation through the pages easy. ...

Satmap Active 10 Plus 2010

£380.00

The Satmap Active 10 was introduced in late 2007. It was the first GPS receiver that provided exactly what the hill-walker needed in an easy-to-use device. What set it apart was the large colour screen, which coupled clear OS mapping with a very intuitive user interface. It has just been upgraded to the Satmap Active 10 Plus, which boasts additional ...

Satmap Active 10 Plus

£380.00

The Active 10 Plus is a beefed-up Active 10 and, with a new rechargeable battery conversion kit, it’s a real contender and definitely the best of the OS mapping- compatible devices (all national parks 1:50,000 scale at £50; or £80 per national park at 1:25,000; or user selections available). Its strength is its huge screen, which gives superb definition, but ...

Garmin GPS Map 60Cx

£399.00

This GPS unit from Garmin is great to use from the off. The actual GPS receiver can be turned off for indoor tasks, such as linking it to a PC. The big colourful screen is very easy to read, the menus intuitive and the pages easy to follow and customise. PC interface is also really simple. It’s superb, whether you’re ...

Magellan Triton 2000

£450.00

Like its smallerc cousin, the Triton 2000 uses free download proprietary VantagePoint software to transfer route data from PC to GPS. You can use a scroll wheel or tiny stylus (spares supplied) to navigate through menus and, while both work well, we’re not sure about the stylus in a gale or pouring rain. Full marks for the ‘one press’ buttons ...

Lowrance Endura Sierra 2009

£500.00

There was a time, not that long ago, when I felt that the map and compass would be the primary navigational tools for hill-walkers for many years to come. But the latest GPS receivers are beginning to make me think I could be wrong. Lowrance is the latest brand of GPS (global positioning system) receivers to release a range featuring ...

Lowrance Endura Sierra 2010

£500.00

Lowrance released three new GPS receivers in 2009 and they tackled the interface question by offering touch-screen and conventional button access. The top-of-the-range unit is the Sierra at £500, with the Safari at £350 and the Out&Back at £250 offering stripped-down features. DesignThe boxy design of the Lowrance device sits comfortably in the hand. It is waterproof, and the rubber ...

Magellan Triton 2000

£530.00

The top-end Magellan unit has a large, clear screen and works with touch-screen technology as well as with the normal menus and joystick. It’s quite a lump in the hand, though, and weighs quite a bit, and like its less-expensive stablemate, it suffers from complex PC compatibility that requires exporting routes to a proprietary software before they can be downloaded ...
