I'd like some advice on which GPS to buy. I've been mapping for some time with a Navi GPS, and I'm reasonably happy with it, but I thought I might spend my Christmas bonus on a new GPS. The following is my wish list, in no particular order. I don't even know if some of them are possible.
- Colour screen able to display OSM maps (using something like Mkgmap [1]) - Long waypoint names - the six-character limit on the Navi is very frustrating when collecting postcodes ;-) - It would be nice to be able to store multiple track logs, giving each one a name (I don't know if *any* GPS can do this, but I figured it's worth an ask) - Being able to get data on/off the device from Linux. According to the Mkgmap page, Garmin models such as the Legend Cx can be set to appear as a USB drive on Linux, which would be ideal - Either plenty of on-board storage, or a card slot (ideally an SD slot, as I've already got SD cards) - Better accuracy than the Navi, especially in built-up areas I'm looking at a price range of about £100-£150. Can anyone recommend anything?
