Hi All,

My first post to the group - I discovered openstreet map the The Map  
Room..a blog at http://www.mcwetboy.net/maproom/   and very glad I  
did too! A brilliant idea. As a cartographer working in the U.K. I've  
long been cursing the Ordnance Surveys stranglehold on data here and  
have suffered the expense of purchasing aerial photographs to  
digitize road networks from.
I'm based in Brighton and a keen cyclist so I'm hoping to contribute  
by proving GPS tracks of Brighton and Hove and surrounding area. My  
question - what GPS system would you guys recommend? Obviously I need  
something small and lightweight, fairly cheap and be able to connect  
to a Mac.

Cheers,

Tom
