I'm looking for a reliable, robust and reasonably priced GPS datalogger, to measure time, distance on tracks. The logger should be reasonably priced but ready for outdoor activities. Mud, dirt, a little water shouldn't harm the device. Another point is, it has to be plugged into a PC/Mac and handled as a normal USB drive to download the GPX files. GPX File is a must have as well.
To summarize the needs:
- GPX
- USB drive / no proprietary software
- reliable
If anyone is a GPS crack, I'm happily to get an answer!
Thanks Martin

After spending a LOT of time looking around and reading reviews, I recently purchased a Garmin eTrex 20 for hiking purposes:

Price was definitely a factor, along with functionality, durability and ease of use. I particularly like the way Basecamp (Garmin software) allows you to download hiking trails from OSM straight onto the GPS.
Good luck!
