A new handheld is about to be released in the UK called Satmap. The device can read digital maps on an SD card, and the on board software gives you the ability to zoom and pan seamlessly similar to Google Maps. Satmap has a 3.5″ hi resolution color screen as well as an extended battery life but their site do not share mAh capacity just yet.

A lot of others specs are still not revealed such as the GPS receiver chip, processor, etc. However we know that Satmap will be quite rugged; enough to survive a long camping trip with no injuries.

It will be available in August 2007 and will have over 100 different map cards to choose from covering National Parks, National Trails, UK regions and UK counties. More maps will be launched throughout the year and will include countries throughout the world.

Satmap GPS device will come with basemaps of the UK from OS (Ordinance Survey) and will cost about £300. Best of it all: It will work with Macs…
