Personally I'd probably go with a rugged eTrex, a modern one with an SD card
to carry the daily traces it writes. My legend will last all day

Well I'd like to collect lots of data, even if it involves me taking a pack
of those 2GB SD cards

Sure - i just wanted to make the point
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

we, being the local OSMers here, have had a map printed to show of our

If anyone is in and around York Racecourse on 22 or 23 April then you might
think to tout OSM around to some of the exhibitors at XCES. It would be
useful to get some contact names for some of these organisations there. I
might have gone myself but I'm not available those two days.

And I've just done the same for all 50ish stops in Sutton Coldfield Locality
over lunch. I'll drop the results in as soon as the edits done but I am
generally concurring with Brians observations. What was most interesting is
that about 20% of the stops in the locality have no physical bust stop on
I've already started correcting data like this. I too have noted that some
stops are not correctly positioned in relation to the road they are on.
Where we only have a single trace along a road they could be correct but the
ones I looked at last night where we have plenty of traces (main road)

Using http://sautter.com/map I did a comparison of the precisely positioned
stops I mapped this morning in the Aldridge area. Assuming Google has the
locations the same as the NaPTAN data then I would say about one in 5 NaPTAN
stops has something wrong with the location. Mostly a stop is displaced
This should be tagged in a different way that uses fact instead of
opinion/fiction. Perhaps by referring to crime statistics for a given
boundary area.
