I'm quite happy with my NaviGPS GT-31 as listed under Scytex/Locosys on this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews specifically here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews#Scytex_NaviGPS_.2F_Lo cosys_.28B.29GT-31 I save the tracks and/or waypoints to the SD card and use their software to convert the BIN file to GPX/KML/NMEA/PLT/WPT and whatever else it does. I've got a 128MB card in it at the moment and all the mapping I've done since I had it in August amounts to about 14MB of BIN files (although I copy them off each time I get home). A 6 to 7 hour walk was about a 700MB BIN file (though I split it into 4 sections) with points taken every second. I don't know how long the battery lasts; it recharges from USB which I do when I get home and I've not been away for a week yet. And if I did I have USB chargers from the mains/car that I can use overnight. I also got the bicycle mount for it. UK users can get it from Storage Depot who then make a donation to OSM: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Merchandise#Storage_Depot But I don't know about availability in Germany. Ed PS: I'd love a unit which displayed what had already been mapped. I suspect I'll get something later this year, but will probably still use the GT-31 as well for a second opinion when checking accuracy... _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
