Thanks for your efforts and input, Moose.

I have checked out things myself and ordered the i-GotU GT-120.

In the meantime it has been shipped, and hopefully tomorrow it will
arrive at my home. Just in time to get used to it before a 3-day trip
starting on Friday...

I was a bit confused because you said that the data were standard gtx.
I now take it this was a mistake and you menat .gpx? That is what I
always use.

And I prefer the LiIon battery over the three AAA cells. You can
charge them from any USB port, not necessarily on a computer but also
on a car or mains charger with 5V output. My cell phone charger will
do fine...

I'll share my experience in "due course"  ;-)

Frank.
