What Cheap GPS Logger?

Posts: 997
I'm looking for a stand alone GPS receiver purely for logging my rides. Not worried abot cycle computer functions etc, just after a logger that will track my route/speed etc in a GPX file as the app I use on my phone drains the battery after about 3 hrs.
I have had the Holux 245 suggested which looks good value.
Can anybody suggest something half decent please?

What do you consider "cheap"? The Garmin Forerunner watches are around £100 - is that "cheap"? I'm sure they can be had for less secondhand.ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0

Well, the Holux is around £50 online & has good reviews.2012 Cannondale Synapse0

Try the classified section - I got a garmin edge 205 for £75 - probably one of the best VFM purchases I have made. I use it mainly as a mile logger - but the other stuff has proved useful - I used to plot a route over some stonking hills - before winter set in.0

What phone do you have? The cyclemeter app on my iPhone runs for 6 hours and uses only 3/4 of the battery life.0

I have an iGotU 120 - just under £40 from Pixmania inc shipping. Now I can find out where I've been on my mountain bike.Vitus Sentier VR+ (2018) GT Grade AL 105 (2016)

I went with one of the Garmin Forerunner 305's that Amazon were knocking out for £105. Might be a bit more expensive than the cheapest tracking but I find getting the HR data alongside the speed/distance/gradient useful plus you can also add a cadence sensor and track that as well.0

have a look at the bryton ones.
Had a play with one yesterday and seems like a great product for the money.0 -
Can you get runkeeper for the HTC?
I use it and its exellent - has a very useful site which it automatically downloads to for analysing and recoreding your rides....
It was free in Jan but normally £100 -
Endomondo is fantastic and runs on the Desire. I'm using it on my Motorola Android phone as a stop gap until I finally take the plunge and get a Garmin 500.

But the Bryton 30 isn't actually cheaper than a Garmin Edge 500.More problems but still living....0 -
Bought the Holux 245 in the end, it's really rather excellent for £40.2012 Cannondale Synapse0

Decathlon used to do a watch style GPS, almost identical to the old Garmin Forerunner 01 series. Geonaute I think they were called.
edit: ooooppss sorry I see you've bought something now.0
