GPS Logger i-gotU GT-120 Review

What is a GPS Logger

Ever wanted to be able to put your last trip accurately on a map?  Maybe to know how far you have travelled and exactly which roads were used and the altitude?  This is where a GPS logger comes in.  I bought the Mobile Action i-gotU GT-120 about eighteen months ago and have used it on a couple of long trips.  It is very small and very light.  It hold loads of location points.  On a five week trip to New Zealand I set it to log every minute.  I started every time I left in the morning and switched it off each time I arrived at my destination eight or ten hours later (We were cycling).  On arrival back at home I downloaded all the data and found that it had only used 20% of the available memory.  Not bad.

Features
As I said it is truly tiny and very light.  You hardly notice that you have it with you.  It is pretty water resistant.  We went through some really heavy storms and it never missed a beat, unlike my bike computer that decided to cease to function and had to be dried out for a couple of days to coax it back to life but I had lost all my trip data.
