[OSM-talk] GPS recommendation

[Richard Fairhurst]

Hello all,

An organisation I'm in touch with is considering buying some GPS  
loggers for OSM use.

They need to be super easy to use, robust, reliable, easy to connect  
to Windows PCs (ideally without drivers), cheap, and available now or  
imminently.

I'm slightly reluctant about the two old favourites, the eTrex and  
the NaviGPS.

IME the NaviGPS is not as reliable or as intuitive as I would like.  
These units are going to be used by children and primary school  
teachers so this is a worry.

The eTrex (H) would be perfect except for the 1988-era serial  
connection. Other eTrexes are too expensive.

Does anyone have any better suggestions? The Royaltek and i-Blue 747  
units mentioned on the GPS Reviews page looks interesting.

cheers
Richard
