for osm the one of the best options is a PDA with OSMTracker http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmtracker You can do voice recording, hot keys, pictures to enter POI. Can be used while driving easily. JOSM supports the gpx with linked voice POI. ideally used on a PDA with built in GPS. pros: ea

No, if you choose the best logging quality and do not need all the nice features for navigation, maximum sturdiness, geocaching etc that the Garmin offers, then you'd be better off with a logger with the latest Sirf or MTK chipset which also logs DOP data. Much cheaper too. Roozbeh Pournader wr
