Hi, I was wondering if someone here works with gps devices in an artistic context. The fact is that I usually make sound recordings walking without a destination in mind and I'm interested in having some way to produce later a map of where I've been. Maybe you can do that with any gps device, I don't know, but I would like to know what kind of gps devices use people who do things like gps drawings.
this new model has an internet connection, which might prove useful for logging your path. looks like twitter connection is built in…

I use an application for my phone called Instamapper which logs all your GPS coordinates in intervals that you specify. It also has an API so you can do a lot with the data it tracks, like make a line drawing based on your coordinates. Instamapper has made applications that you can download to your cell phone so as long as you have a data plan, you can constantly be tracking your GPS coordinates without carrying another device. You can find the Instamapper website here
