I've noted a significant downward trend in the price of Garmin eTrex units
over the last couple of months. For instance, you can now pick up a Garmin
eTrex Legend HCx, which has the newer high sensitivity receiver and can
display OSM mapping (using mkgmap) for £140 including a 2GB micro SD card.

That might still be twice the price of a basic non map logging setup and you
may still be able to get cheaper prices outside the UK or by bidding for a
non European model on ebay but it's still a big change in the market since
Christmas.

If you were thinking of dipping your toe in the OSM mapping game then it's
probably never been better to do so.

Cheers

Andy
