This is not for geocaching purposes, which is why I mentioned it being possibly off topic. Sure, being able to cache with it is a bonus, but the other features are more important to me (I currently use my smartphone for caching). I was just hoping someone on here may have some recommendations on devices to look at because I'm not having much luck finding details on how the track logs work on the different devices.
I think I wasn't quite clear in what I need in a device. I'm looking for something I can turn on in the morning and set it to start recording a track log. At that point I want to just stick it in my pocket and let it keep recording until I stop it (sometimes 10-12 hours later). Those logs will then be copied to a PC to use in either overlaying on a map showing the route I rode that day, or matching timestamps in the log with the timestamp of photos I took on the trip to add location data to the photos. (I know there are programs that will do either of these functions once I've got the log data)
A lot of devices (e.g. the Garmin eTrex 20) show in the specs things like "Track log: 10,000 points, 200 saved tracks" but I can't seem to find if that's 10,000 points per track or total. 10K points is just enough to get me a 12 hour track with a point every 5 seconds.
Because some of my motorcycle trips involve an overnight or two at campgrounds, battery life could be an issue. A device that can record for 20-30 hours between recharges would be best, or even one that I can swap out AA batteries each day.
Again, I realize this may be off topic a bit, but I was hoping I might find someone here who know about non-caching GPSr devices also. I've done quite a bit of googling, but I'm having troubles narrowing down on the track log features, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
