Why would that be a waste of time? One could workaround e.g. replace the Garmin stuff and let the multitude of OSM tags be displayed, probably even with a user preference. One could enable true foot/bicycle/car routing and not the restricted garmin type of routing. One could use the etrex for actually making something like the keypadmapper3 but with a battery life of multiple days. For building a quadcopter something GPS module just buy a UBox Lea 6 module or something and be done. If its just a matter of getting a position there is a multitude of solutions.
