[Talk-ca] Small updates and looking for GPS recomendations

[Colin McGregor]

I see there is an Open Street Map party being planned for Toronto on
October 26, details to be seen here:

   wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Canada:Ontario:Toronto

Recently I tossed a bunch of article ideas out to the editor of a
Linux oriented publication I have written for (and been published by)
in the past. Of the ideas I tossed out the only one the editor went
for was "An Introduction to Open Street Map". So, over the next 2
months I need to pull together 2,500 words of newbee material (not a
real issue :-) ). But this does leave me with one problem, I could
really use a portable GPS that I can run independent of my laptop
(currently the only GPS I have is a unit that came with a copy of
Microsoft's Streets and Trips).

So, anyone have suggestions as to an Open Street Map usable battery
powered GPS that is as inexpensive as possible?

Thanks.
