I've had great results with the Holux M241. $110 might not exactly be
chicken-feed, but it's so small, and simple-looking that I doubt it will walk
off on its own. Johnny Appleseed stocks them in Oz, now.
A big advantage is the ease of use. It's practically set 'n' forget, which is
great if you're loaning it / them out.
* Logs by time (1s, 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s, 120s), or distance (50m, 100m,
150m, 300m, 500, 1000m).
* can be set to "autolog" on power-up
* runs off cig socket - cable supplied - or AA battery if there's no vehicle to
hand.
* 130,000 waypoints, or thereabouts.
Definitely worth considering. It's the only GPS device I've got; but all I feel
I really need. Has got a little confused on foot in some tight city (Sydney)
streets, but performs admirably when it can "see" the sky. Even on the
motorbike, train, or inside them tin-cage car thingies it's seems never to have
been out by more than a few meters.
Heck, if you're a Sydney or Central Coaster I'd be happy to loan you mine for a
week to help you decide!
