I've used a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx. I think it records a point every
second--or maybe it's every 5--I can't find the setting in the menus at the
moment. Saving tracks to the micro SD card will strip off their
timestamps and OSM rejects tracks without

the eTrex units seem to be much more accurate than the entry level
auto units from Garmin. i'm intrigued though, by Martin's description
of the 60CSx (which appears to have been replaced in the Garmin lineup
by the 62CS).

Chiming in really late! but I have used a fair number of different GPS
loggers so I thought I'd add my experience.
First off, like cameras, the best one is the one you have with you
(and can be powered up). For me, that disqualifies the Garmin 60
series - too bulky to always carry around with me.
You mean that in the relation editor, you would be able to see the
same split between north / south and east / west that you currently
see for forward/backward? (like here

Yes, that makes sense to me. I

Yes, that is correct Martijn. Would allow us to make sure relations are intact
inside of JOSM if the cardinal directions segments got the same split graphic
that forward/backward does in the relation editor. :) I think that was one of
the major reasons most of the relations in the USA got the

Hi all,
I'm new to this list so please bear with me.
The relation editor currently only parses 'forward' and 'backward'
roles when considering the visual representation in the rightmost
column. In the United States, north/south and east/west are very
common as member roles for road routes,

Greetings,
All this talk about GPS receivers has me interested. I finally bought a
GPSmap 62s. I am happy with it but haven't used it enough yet. I opted out
on the topographic map option (I make my own) as well as the camera (better
options). I carry my GPS and camera almost everywhere.

Yes, sorry for not being clearer. As Ian indicates, this is the
*signposted cardinal direction* of a numbered road route, which does
not change with the actual compass direction of the road. The guiding
principle for the United States is that the odd numbered Interstates
are north/south, and the

I want to make sure I understand what you're trying to convey to the
group. Are you saying that If a way has a member role value of east
then east will mean forward and then west (it's opposite) would mean
backward?
Example logic:
