 What model - LD-1W or LD-3W or both uses compatible charger?

IIRC one uses the old-style charger (thicker), while the other uses the
new-style charger (the same as the 770).  I don't remember which is
which, but I'm pretty sure it's the 3W that is newer and uses a newer
charger.

  If I had done some more research before buying it I would probably have
  chosen the Nokia one that uses a compatible charger.

If we're doing would have then I might have gotten a logging gps. The
nokia still sort of locks up when reading gps data and having reliable
logging inside the gps would be very nice in those situations when I
want to upload my tracks later to a place like walkingboss.org.

The wintec wbt-100 has an internal log and patches to gpsbabel will
allow you to load the log from linux (and eventually from the nokia :)



I've used the Delorme Bluelogger - and its very nice. However, the
drivers for downloading the logs is Windows only. So I would recommend
(and may get one myself) the WinTec WBT-200.

As Brad mentions, there is a GPSBabel add-on that works with it, and
it's cheaper at like $95.

For more info check here:

Definitely go with a logger - it makes it so much easier as you can
still do tracking with or without your Nokia 770 or laptop.
