I don't know why anyone would need a GPS. Knowing where you are is easy. You're always directly above the center of the Earth.

GPS is a nice idea though. I'd probably just toss it in my saddle bags (they're finally here. It only took a month)

One things that I see GPSes doing, especially for the modern automobile driver, is that it takes away their need to learn map skills and puts them in very reliant state.
It's another one of those things that should have been written about in the book of Revelation.

"And there will come talking boxes, heeding mankind onto the path of darkness, under the promise of proper direction. General directional skills will be lost and ye shall be navigated away from the path of the lord."

Hi, there.
I also looking for the GPS, actually GPS Data Logger.
Purpose is that I want to log the GPS Data on the digital photos EXIF tags that I am taking.
So that I can create bike ride track and photo mapping.
Searched web, but couldn't find right one (too many .... ha ha ha :??: )
Anyone knows that basic GPS which has functions of mapping with Data Logger capability??
And connect to computer and download GPS Log to computer << this is absolutely required for me.
Thanks in advance...

I use a delorme pn20 for huntin' and fishin' and motorcycling too. The track data in the GPS is a log. I don't have any idea how to download it in tabular form though.

As I was wonder, I googled and found this.
Manual said that Track data can be set to save into SD card.
This unit comes with SD Card Reader??, so I think that you can get track data from SD card through the SD Card Reader onto computer.

I bought one (Garmin, eTrex Legend HCx) a month ago.
My unit has almost same function as yours.
Mine can be connected computer through the USB cable, seems little bit easier than yours.

Don't see any reason for the average traveller to have one, although if I took some sort of extended vacation around the US/Canada, I'd probably invest in one.
Interesting point Jonathan, and that's probably why I've got a problem with them.
