Yes, it has been asked... but technology keeps on changing.<br><br>It really depends on what you plan on doing.<br>If its hiking / Biking, Garmin GPS's are highly recommended :-)<br><br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Garmin/GPS_series#GPSMAP_60C.28S.29x_and_76C.28S.29x_series">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Garmin/GPS_series#GPSMAP_60C.28S.29x_and_76C.28S.29x_series</a><br>
<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Garmin">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Garmin</a><br><br>... but if its driving then its more of a SatNav device, where the feature is that it gives you turn by turn directions. In a 3d view.<br>
<br>... and if its just walking, then your not so concerned about the ruggedness of the device.<br><br>Both of which the OSM map is getting better & better every day.<br><br>And here's the ridiculously long list of devices recommended by OSMers<br>
<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews</a><br><br>...<br>Interesting, your device isn't yet listed .. yet<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Garmin/N%C3%BCvi_series">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Garmin/N%C3%BCvi_series</a><br>
<br>BTW, when im ready for my next trip, i'll probably also get a data logger, so i'll have a 2nd set of tracks that might be more detailed.<br>... and of course the netbook for mapping in the middle of the woods, a mini- office can be set up & with a cell phone reception it's just like being in an OpenSource Digital Cartographers office. :-)<br>

I know this has likely been asked a million times. Does anyor have a<br>
recommendation for a good, accurate GPS to use with osm?<br>
<br>
I'm currently using my Nuvi 750 with the hidden track log feature. It<br>
works well enough while driving, but the times I've tried using it<br>
walking, the results are horrible. Ideally I'd like one with<br>
Bluetooth so I can put my old hp ipaq to use for poi logging, etc.<br>
<br>
My iPhone 3gs has gps but it's accuracy makes it useless for recording<br>
tracks.<br>
<br>
Just not sure if the myriad of little bluetooth loggers can hold their<br>
own or not<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks !<br>
