Memory Map Adventurer Series Handheld GPS

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

Greetings everyone, it’s me Richard Lopez again, your expert on handheld GPS from SatelliteMap Review.com and today I want to discuss another excellent mapping option, the Memory Map Adventurer series. In past articles I’ve already had a look at some of the outstanding GPS mapping options, including the Garmin Montana 600 series and the Satmap Active 10 Plus. The reason why I have chosen these articles to write about in the main is because of the excellent rendering of the maps. There was a time when GPS handheld devices just gave you the basics: things such as your basic coordinates, perhaps a compass bearing and then some very basic mapping features. But those days are gone, and today’s modern GPS devices are able to render excellent detailed colour maps on screen and then lay over the GPS extras. The Memory Map Adventurer series does exactly this, so let’s have a look at what is on offer.

Memory Map have two models which make up the Adventurer series of GPS, the 2800 and the 3500 model. They are both pretty distinctive, with bright yellow covers – easy to pick out of the bottom of your rucksack! What’s the difference between the two? Well, the 2800 is the slightly less expensive option and is smaller than the 3500, both aspects that some people might actually prefer for ease of use and budgetary reasons inclusive. Both these GPS devices run off a high-sensitivity 50 channel GPS receiver which SatelliteMapReview.com has found to be one of the strongest and most reliable out there and fires up quickly in all conditions.

As I said at the outset, the main big plus for me in today’s GPS is the mapping options around and that’s why I’m a big fan of the Adventurer 2800 and 3500 models. The gold standard of mapping in the UK and further afield is for me the Ordnance Survey, a range of maps which give you every single road, track, building, natural feature and contour in beautiful colour and with shaded relief. And the Memory Map Series runs off the Landranger and Explorer versions of the OS maps so you’re guaranteed to have excellent mapping awareness on-screen.

The Memory Map Adventurer series 2800 model and 3500 model operate via a touchscreen interface. The 3500 model is slightly more expensive and comes with a handy stylus option for those days when your hands are cold and you are wearing gloves. The screen for both models is a high resolution 96,000 pixels. The screen size itself measures 2.8 inches and 3.5 inches for the 2800 model and 3500 model respectively. The latter also has the capability for Marine charts for those of you who want to use GPS while out on the water.

Memory Map have something called their V5 map collection which is a range of mapping add-ons which can be used in conjunction with either model of the Adventurer series. You can select which area you want to explore and then buy the appropriate mapping section. There’s full PC software available with both models to allow you to plan routes, store data and transfer information from your GPS to computer and vice versa. The 3500 has an option called the DigitalGPS window which allows you to arrange the interface and how you read the GPS data exactly as you want it.

You can go on and on about the features of any modern handheld GPS these days but if there is one thing to take away from this article it is this: the Memory Map Adventurer series is strong in the area of mapping, something which I consider absolutely crucial in a quality GPS. Good quality and accurate rendering of a digital map is essential for your navigating experience and Memory Map will not let you down in this aspect. Let me just thank you for reading my stuff and remind you that I’ve got a host more information on all handheld GPS on the market today over at satellitemapreview.com. Please come on over and have a look at my stuff. Cheers!
