3.03 Overview

3.03 Map Card Insertion

The map card door is hinged at the bottom
and opens from the top downwards. When
inserting the card please ensure that the label
is facing you with the arrow pointing inwards.
You can make an SD card write-protected
by moving the switch on the side of the card
down (saves from accidental deletion of files).

3.04 Base Mapping

The Active 10 is supplied with a world base
map at 1:5 million up to 1:200 million (and
in addition for UK customers, a 1:1 million
scale UK road map). Once a map card has
been inserted, you can zoom through the
base mapping to see more detail. If you have
a toggleable map, you can switch between
different map layers at a particular point
on the same zoom level, e.g. you can flip
between the two scales (1:50k and 1:25k) and
the base map.
3.05 Battery Indicator & Stop/Record
Icon
The battery indicator is solid for new or fully
charged batteries. As the charge decreases
it is broken into four bars which then reduce.
When a single bar remains, it is coded red.
After some further time (depending on the
power source and activity), an on-screen
warning alerts that the unit will power off in 30
seconds and a countdown is shown.
If you are using the rechargeable LiPol battery
(section 20.03), the battery indicator shows
a lightning flash whilst charging. You will
need to disconnect the unit from the power

supply to check if the battery indicator is fully
charged, i.e. solid.
Next to the battery indicator is the
Record icon, indicating that data logging
is either paused or recording. This can be
accessed on the TRIP LOG screen (section
6.03). When the unit has a lock, the record
icon has a solid green arrowhead. The record
icon is shown as 'empty' when there is no
lock. A red pause symbol indicates data
logging is paused.

3.06 'PLANNING' Mode

Moving the joystick changes the screen from
the GPS MAP screen to the PLANNING
screen (section 6.00). The blue circle (location
icon) will move away from the middle of the
screen as you control the joystick to move
the map. A visual cue that you are in planning
mode is the orange locator circle which has
longer crosshairs. In PLANNING
can plan routes via the Routes Menu, study
the map using the joystick to pan across the
map, and set a GoTo point/Marker/POI.
