I would be reluctant to publicly recommend anything where OSM gets any
kind of kickback, _even if_ that device would be one I recommend in
private. That would look as if our recommendation could be bought!
Maybe we should define a few categories ("BT mouse without logger",
"standalone logger without display", "standard hand-held GPS with
display", "outdoor-ish hand-held GPS with display", "in-car navigation
device") and identify the 2-3 best devices in each. But how would such
a list be kept current? As long as it is just a Wiki page, anyone can
add their GPS preferences or write about a cool new device. But if you
implement a process to reach a "project recommendation" then obviously
the final result would not be "just a Wiki page", it would be a page
which may only be changed after repeating the process...
Bye
Frederik
