Brilliant! Are there docs on this anywhere?
The docs are currently mostly in the code: http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/
I guess most

The Garmin eTrex Legend HCx was what we went for for running mapping parties
and they are very popular with attendees. Very easy to use, has a high
sensitivity receiver (a must), displays OSM mapping, logs a new track file
to the SD card every day, will run all day on a pair of AA rechargables

Is GPSMAP 60Cx still the OSM GPS to get?
A 'high sensitivity' GPS receiver is a good thing but this is not the only one
available.

You can do voice recording, hot keys, pictures to enter POI. Can be
used while driving easily. JOSM supports the gpx with linked voice POI.
ideally used on a PDA with built in GPS.
pros:
The Garmin eTrex Legend HCx
I'm pretty happy with mine. Although the Garmin format has not yet been
reverse-engineered fully; you can't search by street name or postcode,
which makes it rather fiddly for doing journeys even if you have the
routable maps. And the map redraw speed is pretty

Is there any OSM-related reason to try to get a 60CSx (the version
that has the electronic compass and barometric altimeter)?
No, I've used both. You never need the compass nor GPS height information for
OSM.
