OK entry device - not without problems. Reviewed By Jonathon, 17 May 2012

As per the other review, this could have been a great device. When it works it's great, but every now and then it plays up leaving you frustrated.

First off, the instructions aren't very comprehensive. If you know how to work a PC you'll be able to figure a lot of it out.

The gps lock can range from a couple of seconds to a few minutes, but once up and running its fine. The device feels solid, but the screen is a bit small.

I've used this mountain biking and hiking. You can't follow it as clearly on a bike as you would a satnav in the car, but its easier than an OS map. I've had no problems scrolling the screen with my finger wearing a light cycling glove. To access menus you need the stylus, but once following a route you don't really need to do so.

The biggest drawback is that memorymap appear to have stopped providing support for the device, and are focusing on the smartphone versions. If you want help you have to go onto their forum and see if a fellow member can help.

After two years of fairly trouble free usage its beginning to get more temperamental, but at a discounted price, and if you don't demand too much, the Adventurer 2800 could work for you.

Potentially a Great Unit but Too Many Faults Reviewed By Paul , 03 Aug 2011

With some tweeking, this could be a very good unit. I intended to use it mainly on my road and mountain bikes but it doesnt come up to scratch; it is better for walking.

The first problem is the battery life; it will not last long enough for a long road ride. I try and save the battery by dimming the unit but then its hard to see. In fact, in bright sun light it is very hard to see anything under all settings.

The unit is also very hard to use when cycling; i challenge anyone to use a stylus and cycle. Trying to use just your finger is very frustrating as it does not work very well at all.

Forget trying to have data and maps on the screen at the same time; there is not enough room. Why they didnt have a set up which allows you to flick through pages I have no idea.

Unfortunately the Garmin units with Ordanc eSurvey maps were not available when I Purchased this unit, as they are a far superior unit. As a cyclist i see no reason to buy this unit; spend the extyra money on a Garmin. If you're a walker, have no iterest in data and do not go walking for too long, this unit may be for you.
