It does not say if the thing has WAAS/EGNOS capability. It costs around £80 for a bluetooth GPS reciever(no recording) with SiRF III and WAAS/EGNOS. Until Galileo is operational that seems to be the best data logging option.

I was thinking a GPSMAP 60 or 76 CSX with an external antenna mounted on the helmet would be the most accurate and economical option. This seems like a much cheaper alternative.
