I'm one of the more exotic users, i use the do-it-yourself kit described at http://www.ladyada.net/make/gpsshield/index.html with the EM-406A GPS chip and the arduino duemilanove ^^
it gathers the gps position once a second and writes the data into a text file on a 2GB SD memory card, so the limiting factor is the battery which is in my case a 9V block. it lasts for about 5h but there are alternatives like the mintyboost described at the same website. The software on its chip can be widely customized (f.e. reading different NMEA sentences or reading at a different frequency) but one should be able to do some basic programming for that.

I convert these textfiles using the website http://www.gpsvisualizer.com into the form i need.

If you go to create trip, you can select "garmin import" and it should be able to read data to any garmin connected to your computer (you will need to install the garmin plugin first)

I use a Garmin Legend C and just got a Garmin Legend H, but neither are options on the "My GPSes" list. Is there a decent place to suggest these two get added to the list?

Love the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx for walking and biking. Keeps a signal even in heave tree cover. Small enough not to get in the way but big enough to be very useable. A great unit.

I'm using Garmin Oregon 200. Just wondering why no Oregon series GPS receivers in the list for users to choose?
