Hi, all. I've been following OSM for a while and have done some
casual editing in my local area (updating roads, fixing trashy TIGER
data, etc), but haven't done any GPS tracking of new roads and such.
I've been poking around at the site and have seen the GPS page, but
there's not any real recommendations, just a huge list of features.
After poking around the mailing lists, I've come up with two models to
run by somebody (hopefully somebody that's seen either or both of
them).
One is the Garmin Geko 210, the other is the Garmin GPS 60. Both seem
appropriate for casual use, but the GPS 60 appears a little better
built than the other one (plus it supports USB instead of serial, but
that's not much of an issue). I'm using a Linux box at the house
primarialy. Anybody have any experience with those two that can give
a thumbs up or down?
Thanks,
