The real split here is probably whether you just want to log data or you want to navigate using a gps, whether it is with a map or just following a gpx route you've loaded up. I would also stick to dedicated gps devices. There are to many other reasons as to why people buy a particular smart phone or tablet. Top 5 things to consider when buying a gps perhaps? I'll post my list when I've had time to think more.<br> <br>Dudley<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 19:01:28 +0000<br>From: rob.j.nickerson@gmail.com<br>To: newbies@openstreetmap.org<br>Subject: Re: [OSM-newbies] Wiki documentation on GPS devices - please help answer some questions<br><br>Thanks both,<br><br>Good points all round.<br><br>The <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews</a> page is a beast! It's more a catalogue than an buyers guide which I would rather see. I would imagine most people wanting to give GPS mapping a go will look for a low cost entry into it first - hence my questions about GPS on phones. Perhaps if we can get a buyers guide / top 5 list the taht would be ideal. Help welcome :-)<br>
<br>I'll see how I get on with updating the wiki page on Recording GPS Tracks first.<br><br>Rob<br>
