[Openstreetmap] Advice on purchasing a new GPS unit

[Etienne Cherdlu]

Folks
I'm looking for a new GPS unit but having read the GPS Reviews section
on the wiki there isn't a clear and obvious choice, so I thought I'd
ask here.

Firstly I guess I should state my needs:

1  Obviously I want it to generate track logs that I can upload to OSM.

2  I have a bicycle, I'd like to be able to use it with that.

3 I also have a car.  While SatNav is not a mandatory requirement
don't rule it out. Tom-Toms look like very desirable pieces of
equipment.

4 I'm a skier.  I'd intend to track ski lifts and pistes.  That means
a battery life of 8+ hours (for a full day's skiing), good sensitivity
to altitude, good sensitivity when worn (or maybe in a pocket?) and
robust enough to cope with the occasional wipeout (caused by the piste
suddenly changing direction you understand).  I have a laptop with USB
and bluetooth, which I would be able to upload to at the end of each
day.

5 I do some hiking.  I'd like to be able to record track logs when
hiking but also be able to use it as a navigation aid.

6 I never, never go near boats so marine navigation is not a requirement!

7 Rechargable batteries would be a desirable and environmentally good
thing for it to have.

8 Price is not a constraint.

>From what I've seen so far the RoyalTek BlueGPS might be the kind of
thing I should go for although probably not much use as a navigation
aid.

What would people recommend that would meet the above needs?
