Coming Soon
When you connect your GPS to charge, a blue light will appear on the backlight activation button on the front of the GPS. When this blue light goes out, your GPS is fully charged.
It lasts 8 - 10 hours.
In order to get the best life out of your GPS device, go to Setting on your splash screen, press the Power Save tab and make sure that the Power Down Time is set to Always On and that the Backlight Off Time is set to go off after max of 1 minute (best is after 30 seconds).
Before putting the unit into your pocket or bag for tracking make sure you switch the screen lock on! This is done by sliding the power on/off button which is situated on top right side of the GPS, down to where it says HOLD.
When the backlight goes off and you want to see the screen, simply push on the button on the front of the GPS, below the screen and the backlight will turn on even if the unit is on screen-lock mode.
Yes. Satsports are always searching for ways to improve the software, and appreciates all customer feedback in this process, therefore we provide regular updates for the PC Analytics software, Stats Viewer, and your GPS. Stats Viewer updates may include more ski maps available for download or improvements to the design (colour, layout, navigation), or the GPS update may include such things as an improved screen design or an added feature. To perform these updates, please:
Ski resorts make changes each year with new/removed lifts/slopes and the information Satsports provides with each map gets updated on a regular basis. Therefore we recommend you connect your GPS to your Satsports PC software, Stats Viewer to check for updates. You can update the software on your GPS and PC software and download the latest map for your ski trip. If you wish to continue using the previous winter maps, you may do so.
Please see an example of the Ski Viewer and Google Earth replays here
Not at this stage. However, if you have Parrallels Desktop to run Windows on your Mac, you can download the Satsports PC based Analytics software, Stats Viewer.
This icon is used if you have a street navigation SD card for either Western Europe or North America. You can purchase a street navigation card from Satsports. In your box, you will already have a car bracket.
Please contact us to order a compatible street navigation SD card compatible for your Satsports Multi-sports GPS for either Western Europe or North America.
After your day’s skiing you can transfer the ski data files onto your PC-based Analytics software, Stats Viewer, to view your replay and stats in the Ski Viewer and in 3D with Google Earth. You can do this through the USB connection (and press the USB Mass Storage button):
You can save approximately 10 days worth of tracking on the GPS (this may differ depending on the size of the files), upload them to your PC at a later date and replay them all separately.
For a guide on getting started and how to analyse your statistics with the PC-based Analytics software.
All phones with the Android operating system are compatible for downloading Satski.
Please visit the Android Market on your phone and search for Satski and select Satski Lite. Please note that the Satski Lite version only gives you access to download ski maps for free. You will not have all the GPS tracking and statistical features until you buy the fully paid Satski app..
The Satski app and the mobile phone’s GPS run independently from telephone provider connection. In other words you can turn off data roaming and wifi and have no telephone signal but you will be able to use your Satski app.
Costs maybe incurred if you choose to use the live services, as some foreign service providers may charge for receiving messages/texts. This is not common practice. Should you wish to deactivate your live services you can do this in the menu section of Satski.
Please note if you delay downloading your Satski app until abroad it is likely your service provided will charge you to access the Internet to download Satski, so we advise to download the app before traveling abroad to avoid this cost. If you do wait to download your Satski app, you will need to connect to the Internet for a few minutes to do this. Please contact your service provided for more advise on how to minimize telephone costs while abroad, such as turning off roaming and Internet. Your Satski app will still work if you turn these functions off.
Yes it will work as the Satski app and the mobile phone’s GPS are independent from telephone signal.
If you have a Satski voucher, which may look similar to the image below, you have 2 options:
1. Scan the barcode which automatically reads you promotional code and will allow you to download the Satski app, or,
2. Point your mobile browser to the link and insert your discount code.
Satski vouchers are for single use only
Satski downloads apply to one phone and are non transferable.
In most cases, yes you will receive the connecting resorts with your download or maps for your GPS unit. This applies to the 3 Valleys, Espace Killy, Portes du Soleil, Ski Welt, Whistler-Blackcomb, and Big Sky and Moonlight Basin. We are continually geo plotting maps so please contact us if you have any queries regarding large ski area maps.
We highly recommend that you do the following to preserve your mobile phone battery life:
If you follow these steps this should be sufficient to ensure you get a full day’s battery and even enough time to watch your replays and analyse your statistics at ‘apres’. If you are still requiring more battery then you might want to consider purchasing a portable battery charger.
At the Satski start-up, press Get Resort and the list of available resorts will appear.
The maps are listed by country. Should your ski resort belong to a larger ski area you may be directed to download the named map, which represents the whole ski area.
Note that installing one resort will uninstall any other resort (you can only have one resort installed) in order to preserve your phone’s memory.
If your ski resort is not listed then we suggest downloading the All Sports Maps app from the Android market. We have developed the All Sports Maps app for ski resorts not yet geo plotted by Satski as well as for back country skiers. See more about the All Sports Maps here.
Stats Viewer is your computer based Analytics for all Satsports GPS apps.
The Ski Viewer section is specifically for Satski analytics. The Ski Viewer will replay your ski day on a trail (piste) map and then allow you to connect to Google Earth to watch it in 3D too! While watching your replay on the trail map you are provided with a minute by minute statistical history of your day on the mountain. Such statistical information available for you to analyse includes maximum speed, average speed, total distance traveled, ascents, descents, altitudes, runs and lifts taken and much more.

Your speed is determined by the information your phone’s GPS provides to the app. Sometimes GPS signal may drop. This can be due to a number of reasons, e.g. realignment of satellite, reflection of GPS signal in narrow valleys. This may cause your location to suddenly shout from one point to another. Because the app calculates mathematically this will reflect in an abnormally high speed. We have tried within reason to ensure that such occurrences are not taken into consideration however sometimes this is not possible.
Yes it can because on some phones depending on service provider signal strength the AGPS will and can for short periods of time override the phones GPS positioning. And as a result you will see and experience erratic movement in your tracking. A solution to this could be for you to turn off your AGPS and only run the phone’s GPS. On some phones this may lead to more constant tracking results.

Yes, whether you have a Satski GPS, Tracker of mobile application, you can download your replay to your Satski Ski-Viewer replay software and easily send your 3D Google Earth replay by email to your friends. If you have access to the internet while on holiday, you can send your replays home while your still having fun in the snow and friends and family are at home or in the office!
GPS works best in an open space with a clear view of the sky. While most of the time on the slopes this is the case, there are occasions when the signal from the satellite gets reflected off a mountain when the user is in a deep valley. The GPS position is calculated by precisely measuring the time taken for the satellite signal to reach the receiver and any reflections increase the time artificially and can produce a position which is slightly "off". The same reflections can occur when in a lift as the signal reflects off the ground.
These reflections are quite rare and will usually be discarded if there are enough satellites in view but they do happen, especially when:
The reflections usually last for up to 5 minutes depending on signal and equipment quality.
The reflections tend to effect only the live position and will occasionally increase the distance tracked by a factor of up to 5% over the course of a typical day. Because Satski uses NASA's altitude charts, an incorrect position will generate an incorrect altitude. The reflections do not tend to effect the recorded speed.
Yes. Please contact us with the quantities and resorts you wish and we will quote you a bulk buy rate.
There are several ski resort stores that hire Satski. Please contact us with your resort location and we can let you know where you can hire a Satski.
We are currently working with Apple on this application and should have an Apple friendly version coming out shortly.
Satski GPS System has been tested -20 deg C and works successfully. If you protect your Satski and place it in your jacket pocket temperature will never be an issue. Please note, the warmer the unit is kept, the better the battery life. For Mobile Phones, PDA’s and Smart Phones, please contact your mobile phone company for details on the operation of your mobile phone at cold temperatures.
Please email info@satski.com with any business info (new, closed, moved) you think should be included on the system and it may be included within the regular updates throughout the season. Don't forget to re-download your maps just before you go on your winter holiday to ensure you have all the latest updates.
