while the Garmin ones can use OSM maps, the chips they are still using is not the newest and best so it is harder to get a fix My newest logger can actually get a fix inside my house, which was constructed with a near complete Faraday cage design, although a fix takes much longer than the 30 secs it needs outside. Yesterday I stuck it to the top of my point-and-shoot camera as that is my favourite recording item. the other benefit over the Garmin with too many buttons is that after it looses a fix no user input is required to restart logging using i-887 from Transcend i-blue series, sold as photoMate. it's not on the wiki yet, the wiki crashed the night I was going to add it _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
