Personally I don't think it is off-topic ;-)

There is a pretty long discussion thread (in German though)
about the accuracy. It seems that with recent firmware
and compass deactivated it is very decent,

I think that the conclusion was to add stuff to the wiki
at http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Digikam
and see how whether it should be moved to a dedicated wiki at
digikam.org.

Just for completeness: there is a new interesting device announced,
"GLOBALSAT DG-100 DATA LOGGER",

which has SirfStar III chipset and pretty long batter life.

Best, Arnd
