Generally whenever I drive somewhere I take a laptop along (with 3G) and download from my Etrex garmin every +- 600km (with the most detailed logging).
I have an upcoming trip through Mozambique (in about a month) that will last about 10 days, and I will not have any power, so the laptop is likely to run out of battery power (and it is a huge thing to lug around) so I am looking for something that could record all points, and save them without any drama. Something with detailed logging, good enough for nice detailed maps. So thanks Nic I might take you up on the offer.
