while the Garmin ones can use OSM maps, the chips they are still using is not 
the newest and best
so it is harder to get a fix
My newest logger can actually get a fix inside my house, which was constructed 
with a near complete Faraday cage design, although a fix takes much longer 
than the 30 secs it needs outside.
Yesterday I stuck it to the top of my point-and-shoot camera 
as that is my favourite recording item.

the other benefit over the Garmin with too many buttons is that after it 
looses a fix no user input is required to restart logging

using i-887 from Transcend i-blue series, sold as photoMate.
it's not on the wiki yet, the wiki crashed the night I was going to add it
