However any GPS receiver will do as long as you can save its track as a GPX file (this is always possible somehow).

Both of these are new products that use the SiRFstarIII chipset which claims to work well under leaf cover and in areas of poor satellite coverage. While both methods work very well, the Forerunner 305 will also log your heart-rate. We have used both the wrist-mounted Garmin Forerunner 305 ( ) and the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx ( ) in a Silva night-O battery backpack.

Now, using a GPS and, say, Routegadget, you can easily compare your route to that of your friends. However, it can be very difficult to gather the data required to improve your decisions. Route choice has always been an important part of orienteering. Ór and Routegadget are probably the most suitable programs to use but some others are listed below. You can show it to your friends and compare with their route choices.

There are many different pieces of software that allow you to print or display your route on top of the orienteering map.

Did you really go the way that you thought? Routegadget is the perfect way to do this. Draw your route (or what you think is your route) on the map and overlay the GPS. I hope to add a case study sometime in the future. Some people have produced O maps with the aid of a GPS.
