Use that on a bike, and you'll quickly find that the screen is
unreadable in sunlight (especially when displaying OSM map images
which are typically white or light-coloured roads on a white
background)

If you're willing to spend some extra money, maybe you should take a
look at Garmin Oregon:
http://www.gpsmagazine.com/2008/08/garmin_oregon_400t_review.php
The upside is that it's an outdoor unit with a good map display. Battery
life should be quite OK, at least from my experience with Garmins

Don't mind at all Mike.
I knew about Storage Depot, just they are limited to the Navi/Genie GPS
only. Had forgotten about the Amazon link, will make sure I go through it
before I make a purchase if I do.

Greg,
I hope you don't mind me doing a quick plug for OSM fund raising but if you use
Storage Depot, (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Merchandise ) or
the special UK Amazon link on the same page, a proportion of your purchase goes
to the Foundation. Amazon UK has links to a number

I use my Nokia N95-3 almost every single week, you can use sports
tracked and then export to gpx the route you save.
Pretty nice, very fast GPS lock.

While on the subject of GPS recommendations...
where would people suggest buying units from? (UK physical shop or UK
friendly online shop)
I'm not interested in routing but would really like to display OSM maps on
it and it be a stand alone GPS recorder (for mapping use and occasional
geocaching),

Hello,
As much as I know the Garmin navigation units can load the OpenStreetMap
data that is produced by mkgmap.
sadly only the top model in the Nüvi series offers tracking.
However, the motorbike units (zumo) do offer tracking, are water
(splash) proof and also allow navigation by voice. They

If you pair a bluetooth headset with the N810 it uses it as the speaker
and microphone, so all sound should go through the headset. That's
independent of the application you're using.

I rand my N810 in parallel with my Garmin Geko 201 and they both
produced comparable results. I'm quite happy wi

I'm after a GPS system which I can use to provide data for OSM maps
and as a 'normal' GPS system to tell me where to go when I'm on my
motorbike. Is there anything which can provide both facilities or
should I give up and buy two separate devices?
It's doubtful (to me) if on-screen maps are much
