[OSM-newbies] Wiki documentation on GPS devices - please help answer some questions

[Dudley Ibbett]

The real split here is probably whether you just want to log data or you want to navigate using a gps, whether it is with a map or just following a gpx route you've loaded up.  I would also stick to dedicated gps devices.  There are to many other reasons as to why people buy a particular smart phone or tablet.  Top 5 things to consider when buying a gps perhaps?  I'll post my list when I've had time to think more.

Thanks both,

Good points all round.

The http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews page is a beast! It's more a catalogue than an buyers guide which I would rather see. I would imagine most people wanting to give GPS mapping a go will look for a low cost entry into it first - hence my questions about GPS on phones. Perhaps if we can get a buyers guide / top 5 list the  taht would be ideal. Help welcome :-)


I'll see how I get on with updating the wiki page on Recording GPS Tracks first.

Rob
