[Qgis-user] GPS tracking for long distance hike

[Clifford Snow]

I use a garmin eTrex20. 600km is a long way. I would suggest bring along
extra AA batteries. The garmin takes 2 AA batteries.

The OpenStreetMap wiki [1] has a lot of information on tracking devices.
You may be able to find a device better suited to your needs there.
