    Trackstick. GPS tracker/plotter.

    Has anyone used one of these or a similar GPS plotter ?

    I only have GPS to see where I am going / need top go. Not where I have been.

    I could get a lot out of it though I think.

    The Trackstick II is the perfect fit for personal GPS tracking. Bring it on vacation to keep a satellite scrapbook of all your travels and record your explorations. You can carry it along on all your regular outings from home to get a better sense of your daily surroundings through Google™ Earth’s cohesive 3D maps of your community. With Trackstick II™ a computer screen can guide your family and friends on a virtual tour of your vacation.

    That sounds great. Might look into it for my trip to Europe.

    But maybe between phone, camera and other electronic toys I think I'll run out of power points in hotel rooms.

    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    I have been looking at the Nokia 6110 Navigator. A phone and a GPS in one. Better than the N95 because that just uses packet data to work out where you are, the 6110 Navigator is actually a hand held GPS.

    Now to get work to buy it for me on a next G plan. Then I can call people when I'm lost in the desert.

    I have a 6110, and I love it, haven't had a single problem with it yet.

    Out bush the maps might be a bit average. If you're going seriously off road you can't beat a Magellan.

    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    you sure about that one champ?

    N95 has a GPS receiver built in. Works well in aircraft at 38,000 feet which I am pretty sure is out of cell tower range
