[Wolves] For ChrisP mainly but also anyone else with a NaviGPS/OSM interest ; )

[chris procter]

According to this page http://www.storagedepot.co.uk/Handheld-GPS/sc893/p74.aspx htey work with transcend 2GB SD cards so thats what I bought. However everytime you turn the device on it tells you the card needs formatiing. I haven't tried any other cards, or this card in anything else so I'm not sure if that page is wrong, I have a duff card, or my GPS is a bit broken.

It has enough built in storage for a couple of hours of tracking and a usb interface so I've not really investigated too hard.

Apart from that if you just want to make some tracks to upload to openstreetmap they're nice little devices.

Chris: Alex said you were having trouble getting the SD card slot to 
work. It's a known issue with the Navi's - they're a bit fussy. There's
 
a list on the OSM wiki[1] of cards known to work.

While I'm at it, I've created an OSM wiki page for Wolverhampton[2]. If
 
you're an OSM user, feel free to add yourself to the list (preferably 
before me as I've only done the odd road here).
