SatMap, the company behind the SatMap Active 10 GPS device (which was one of the first dedicated devices to offer OS mapping) have added two new features to their range.  The online route planner allows you to plan routes using a variety of different online maps (including OS 1:25k maps of the UK) and then download the route to your Active 10.  You can also view an elevation profile or print out the route on paper as a backup to the device failing (or running out of batteries).

The other facility they have launched is a route sharing website, where users can share routes.

Both these facilities are free to existing users as long as the device is purchased before 23rd March 2009 (you have a week left!) and you need to register the unit with SatMap before 1st April 2009.  Any purchases / registration after this time will be subject to an additional fee of £79.99 to use these services.

If you fancy having access to OS maps and elevation profiles direct on your Symbian phone, then look here.
