<tt>Thanks Jim, that is very useful! Will definitely check out one of
those converters.<br>
I was thinking of simply collecting all the data and process it when we
come home to Magalang, but it seems increasingly intriguing to bring a
laptop and do edits directly on the "road". Do you know if usable
packages exit for Ubuntu that can act as a GPS with one of the loggers
connected to the USB port?<br>

The GPS to go units have a pretty good battery life - they seemed to go for well over 24 hours on one charge. In addition they have a USB charger which can be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket in the car.
If you're using them with a laptop (linux, tango gps etc), then probably your biggest problem is going to be your laptop battery. In which case I came across a bunch of cheap inverters the other day at CDR-King, which will power any AC 240 volt device in a car. A 100 watt model was about 500 pesos, and a 500 watt version was just over 1000 pesos. Seemed like a good price.
They're on the website, but I can't link directly to the page ... just search for inverter in the product search.

You'll probably have to go to one of the bigger branches to pick one up.
