I've found some reviews that say the minimum logging period is 5s - 
which isn't terribly accurate, particularly if you're using a vehicle 
for your mapping. The manual downloaded from the Holux website seems to 
back this up. If they've fixed that in recent revisions then it seems 
ideal, if not then I think that could be a serious problem.
