Dear Ecologgers,

I am seeking (urgent) advice for the best device to use as a field
data logger for my PhD project in Zambia. I am looking for something
moderately cheap and VERY simple to use and rugged. I will be training
local enumerators to collect field data on crop damage in rural farms-
they will need to know the GPS location, and then to enter various
measurements. There will not be anything heavy needed in terms of
memory.. just a simple spreadsheet for an Access database.  I assume
it is easier to get a PDA that has a GPS built in rather than to have
a separate GPS unit.

I will need about 20 devices and am looking for recommendations as to
which make and model in order to price out a budget line for them in
the next few days....  Garmin? Palm?....

Any suggestions will be very welcome.

Many thanks

Tania
