I love my Garmin Geko 201.  It's quite old now, but might still be available.  
It uses 2 AAA batteries and needs a serial connector (Google Pfranc for cheap 
cables, and use a USB->RS232 adapter).

I use Eneloop rechargeables and they last for a couple of days if the unit is 
left on.  It's small, accuracy is great for OSM, and logging capacity is 
plenty.

Oh, and it's waterproof and it floats.
