I grab tracks with my Blackberry and use them to draw roads on OSM.
The quality of GPS receivers are about even these days. Give the unit
a good view of the sky and it will tell you where you are.

I plug mine into the cigar lighter and toss it on the dash of the
F-250 while driving down the road. It does a decent job of grabbing
location data.
