OpenStreetMap

I've finally started to collect GPS traces of my route to work, and wondering around Bromsgrove (and elsewhere in the West Midlands). The GPS receiver I bought seems to take a few minutes to latch onto a signal, but once it's going everything is fine (I have a feeling it might benefit from an external aerial). At the moment I'm recording to my ibook (cat /dev/tty.BTGPSxxxx > file) and then running the output file (NMEA format) through gpsbabel for upload to OSM. I would like/prefer to use some other smaller, hand held device (which would require bluetooth).

That's it.
