OSM LongTimeLogger
From OpenStreetMap
This page is intended for the power loggers, the power users from the point of view of gathering and saving a large amount of track data. This means you don't want to save your tracks to a computer every day. So you need a device with more than 20.000 points of logging memory. Below is a brief list with the main parameters of devices that can handle this; see GPS reviews for more details on the units listed.

Notes
1 Caution! ─ while the dollar price is cheaper than the UK price, US$ priced units come with a north american basemap, not an european. You may want this, but you may prefer a european unit. And Garmin Germany for example won't repair any non-german units.
