I think 5 sec interval when walking is quite enough - realistically 
that's less than 7 m of distance between two points. The problem with 
Garmins (at least eTrex) is that they only really use unit's internal 
RAM for storing tracks and they store up to 10,000 points there. When 
storing tracks on SD cards, Garmins do a lot of simplifying, so the 
tracks end up being useless.
