[OSM-newbies] Best GPS hand held device for my needs

I'm using a Garmin nuvi 760 car navigator.  It comes with a cradle for 
the car and I can stick it in my pocket for walks (not for small 
pockets).

It looks like a USB disk when connected to my computer.  I copy 
Current.gpx and use that for mapping.  The track log isn't tainted but 
Current.gpx usually contains copyrighted data.  Delete points of 
interest, etc. before uploading your track.

I won't say it's the best but it does work.

So he went inside there to take on what he found.
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?
