Garmin Streetpilot 3
An acquaintance of mine mentioned having a used Garmin Streetpilot 3 for sale.
Now: I have never used a GPS before, but I would be willing to buy one for OSM use. Does anyone know if this model could be used for making GPS tracks for OSM?

Re: Garmin Streetpilot 3
The streetpilot is not listed on the osm garmin page but it will be a fine GPS judging by its features depending on the price and your intended use. The device is intended for motorcycle or motorcar use. From what I can find on Google, the streetpilot has a 10.000 point active tracklog and perhaps logging to SD-card which is the most practical option.
If you just want a GPS for tracking then a sub 100 Euro tracker might be a better option (cheaper, lighter, smaller), but if you're going to use it for navigation as well then the streetpilot is fine.

Re: Garmin Streetpilot 3
Not really into GPS in general - having a bicycle and living centrally, being mostly on foot - intended to use it just for OSM.
