Satmap Xpedition is a new online mapping tool for planning and creating routes on detailed topographic mapping of Great Britain and Europe. Routes can be downloaded to the Active 10 GPS via Satmap's free software SatSYNC or downloaded to other GPS devices. A comprehensive list of topographic mapping available in Xpedition is listed in the About tab. Xpedition is also an online route sharing portal allowing the download of shared routes created by other users.

Satmap Xpedition requires Microsoft Silverlight to be installed on your computer to work. Silverlight is a completely free plug-in for web browsers and is compatible with multiple browsers and operating systems. You may be asked to install Silverlight when using Satmap Xpedition for the first time. It is quick and simple to install – just follow the instructions given on the screen. If you are not prompted to install Silverlight then it is likely that it is already installed on your computer. More information on Microsoft Silverlight can be found here.

The search tool in the Planner tab allows you to quickly find a location anywhere in the world and is based on Bing maps search functionality. Activate the Planner tab. You should see tool palettes positioned vertically down in the map screen. On the Extras tool palette click on the magnifying glass icon (see below). A pop-up screen will appear. You can type in a general place, organisation, postcode or coordinate. For example you can either enter 'Leatherhead', a British Postcode 'KT22 7LX', a OS Grid Reference 'SU 234563' or 'N51.29531, W0.333023'. Click Search (a list of possible matches may display - select one of the names) to automatically pan and zoom to the location. This is a global search tool so you can easily search for places in Europe and the rest of the world. You will notice by default that a Point of Interest (POI) box is checked. This will add a marker to the place you have selected or typed.

Within the Planner tab navigate to an area where you would like to create a route. There are a few methods to quickly navigate to a place of interest in the map screen:

1. Search tool

2. Zoom in and out

3. Planning and moving around the map view

We recommend you zoom in to a level where the mapping displays roads, tracks and paths to enable you to draw along them with the Create route tool.

Floating within the Planner tab map screen are four tool palettes. On the Plan tool palette click on the Create route icon (see below). The icon will change to an orange/red colour to show it has been activated.

Position your mouse cursor where you would like to begin your route. Click on the mapping to add a starting waypoint. Keep clicking points (waypoints) along your chosen path to create a route. To finish creating your route click the Create route icon again in the Plan tool palette to deactivate the tool. The colour of the icon will revert to white to show it has been deactivated.

The transfer of a route from Xpedition to the Active 10 device is a simple two step process:

1. Export route from Xpedition to the computer

2. Use SatSYNC to transfer route(s) from the computer to the Active 10

In the Planner tab of Xpedition, hover over the route with your mouse to highlight it and right click to display a popup menu list. Select Download. A Save As dialog box will display allowing you to name and save the route as a .GPX file extension to a location on your computer.

Make sure your Active 10 unit is switched on and connect it to your computer via the USB cable supplied with the unit. Open the SatSYNC program on your computer and highlight Internal Storage in the left hand window. Use the Import: Transfer supported files from my computer to the Active 10 icon on the top right of SatSYNC to navigate to where you saved your route on your computer. Select Open to import the route to your Active 10 GPS unit. The transfer may take moment. You can also transfer to a SD card in your unit as well.

Now using the Active 10 GPS unit navigate to the Routes menu and check that the route appears in the Internal Storage folder. Your route is now available to use and view on your Active 10!

Xpedition hosts many topographic mapping datasets at various scales and detail for Europe and Great Britain. It is quick and easy to switch between the various mapping datasets and aerial imagery. In the Planner tab on the top tool bar of the map screen is the text Choose Map: On the right of this is a drop down list of mapping that is available, this will show the active map dataset. Simply click the small arrow next to the drop down list to select a different mapping dataset to view (see below).

To view aerial imagery simply click the Aerial text on the toolbar at the top of the map screen. You can also turn labels on or off by clicking the Labels text on the same toolbar (see below).

You can split the map screen into two screens side by side in the Planner tab. This is a great feature to enable users to compare different mapping datasets of the same area (see below). For example, it is possible to display aerial imagery in one window and Ordnance Survey mapping in the other. Enabling the split map screen feature allows you to pan the map in one screen and the other screen updates. You can also display the extent of one map window within the other shown by an orange bounding box. This can be turned on or off in the split screen settings.

You can view overhead aerial imagery within the Planner tab. At the top of the map screen on the tool bar click on the text Aerial to switch from mapping to aerial imagery. To return to the topographic mapping simply select a mapping dataset from the drop down list on the same tool bar labelled Choose Map: or click the text Road on the same tool bar (see below).

Xpedition supports full screen mode to enable users to view mapping and route plan with greater ease. In the Planner tab click on the Enable full-screen mode icon which is the third icon down in the Extras tool palette within the map screen (see below).

Xpedition supports the facility to search and share routes between users. Customers can search for routes and download a .GPX file to their computer and transfer to the Active 10 or other GPS device. To enable the sharing of a route it has to be made Public (shared) by the user who created or imported it into Xpedition. By default any routes created or imported in Xpedition are made private and will not be shared with other users.

The Share tab in Xpedition is where you can search and view the properties of routes. Just above the map screen are a series of input boxes where you can type and select options to narrow down your search. If you type in the Keyword input box a town or village the map will automatically pan and zoom to the location and show all the routes in the vicinity that contain the name you typed in the route title or description.

You can also search on the attributes of a route. There are two drop down boxes labelled Difficulty and Activity. Click on one or both of these and select from a drop down list your preference and click on the Search button. All the routes which contain the attribute(s) you specified will be displayed in the map screen.

If you have named your route carefully and allocated it a Difficulty rating and Activity type it is easy to find your routes you have made public in the Share tab. Simply type the name of the route in the Keyword input box and select the appropriate Difficulty and Activity type from the drop down list and click Search. The map screen will display your route(s). If you have not assigned attributes to your route you will still be able to find your shared routes by panning and zooming to its geographical location on the map screen.

No. Any route you create in the Planner tab or import from your computer is made private by default. You have complete control over your routes and you can make them Public (shared) if you require.
