GlobalSat just recently introduced the DG-100, a GPS data logger that works on two rechargeable AA batteries and uses an alredy built-in USB cable to transfer data to a PC. The DG-100 uses an integrated SiRF Star III GPS antenna and it can record time, date, speed, altitude and GPS location at preset intervals. To download your track log you need to install the Windows based application which also lets you export the recorded points into Google Earth and Google Maps. DG-100 can also be used as a regular GPS receiver that can be used with a laptop or a UMPC for instance.

Here are some of the other features:

Hardware

• Allows user to store up to 60000 points.
• Two NiMh batteries for more than 20 hours continuous operation.
