I gather the Sirf Star III chipset used will talk NMEA as well as its 
own proprietary protocol; I don't know whether it supports any form of 
logging itself, or if you'd need to get a PDA doing it in real time via 
bluetooth, USB, RS232 cable, whatever.

I would presume - naively perhaps - that any GPS unit with some form of 
serial connection will talk to a host in a useful way.

I'm trying to find out the same about the Holux 236, which is looking 
very cheap on eBay lately, but will be useless to me unless it does its 
own logging (I am _not_ mounting a PDA beside it on my handlebars...!)
