[OSM-talk] GPS Units for the Foundation

[Mikel Maron]

Thanks for the all the tips! And the help with covering the cost! 

I ideally want to get to a dozen spare GPS units. Since there are no more NaviGPS units for sale in the UK, I'm thinking of ordering some Garmin Geko 201 units, which is at a similar price point. How do Geko's compare to NaviGPS? Any pointers on a good place to order from?

I've just ordered 5 (everything they had in stock) from storage depot, which took 10% off up front and free shipping, as a donation to OpenStreetMap.
If they get more in between now and Thursday, I'll order more. This Saturday will be the first outing for these OpenStreetMap Foundation GPS units.

Total is 290. I'm fine covering this myself .. but really do welcome anyone throwing some cash my way to spread out the expense.

For the Brighton Mapping Workshop this Saturday, I'm thinking of getting a load of NaviGPS units and donating those to the OpenStreetMap Foundation, so we then have a permanent set of GPS for all the upcoming workshops.

NaviGPS seems like a pretty nice device all around. And the price is pretty unbeatable.

I understand we have a special deal with the UK distributor? Think it would be possible to order a dozen and have them delivered before Saturday?

Would anyone else consider throwing in a few bucks towards this purchase?
