Hi,
I've got what I suspect is a really annoying newbie question. I want to
buy a GPS receiver to start doing some mapping in my local area. I've
looked at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/GPS_Reviews and
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Garmin but I've no idea what
sort I need.
I suspect I'll do most of my mapping on foot and sometimes, but not very
often, as a car passenger. Never on a bike! I only use Linux, so I need
to be able to get data off without relying on Windows software. I think
I need a standalone unit, because I don't want to have to carry a laptop
round with me, although I do have a Sony Ericsson P900 mobile phone, so
maybe there are other options.
Can anyone give me some recommendations as to what type I should be
looking at? Thanks very much in advance.
Cheers,
Ian
