[OSM-talk-be] a datalogger

Hi,

I would also like to borrow an OSM-be data logger. I have an IPAQ with 
inbuilt GPS, but that's not always suitable or practical. I also 
purchased a data logger as a backup, but it's already malfunctioning 
again. I'm not very pleased with it after all. At first I couldn't read 
out the logs and now it is not possible to communicate with it anymore. 
It already went in for repair for the first problem and I only was able 
to use it for two tracks in between.

Anyway, I do quite a bit of work for OSM in the wide region around 
Leuven. From now on I'll be going on horseback around Rotselaar, Elewijt 
and Budingen and that's where I don't like to take the IPAQ along. I 
don't want to risk breaking its screen. That's where a logger is more 
interesting to take along.

It would also be interesting to test the device's accuracy. Eventually 
I'll probably end up buying a different data logger for myself. I intend 
to use the OSM one for about 2 or 3 months. I will bring it along to OSM 
mapping parties for somebody else to use, of course, and I don't intend 
to hold on to it when somebody else needs it more urgently than I do.

Kind regards,

Polyglot
