If we're doing "would have" then I might have gotten a logging gps. The
nokia still sort of "locks up" when reading gps data and having reliable
logging inside the gps would be very nice in those situations when I
want to upload my tracks later to a place like walkingboss.org.
The wintec wbt-100 has an internal log and patches to gpsbabel will
allow you to load the log from linux (and eventually from the nokia :)
I've used the Delorme Bluelogger - and its very nice. However, the
drivers for downloading the logs is Windows only. So I would recommend
(and may get one myself) the WinTec WBT-200.
As Brad mentions, there is a GPSBabel add-on that works with it, and
it's cheaper at like $95.

Definitely go with a logger - it makes it so much easier as you can
still do tracking with or without your Nokia 770 or laptop.
