OpenStreetMap
Well I'm really overjoyed to have found this map and can't wait to get started. First place has to be where I work which is near the new New England Quarter in Brighton. My office isn't on the map at all so my diary entry is being posted from a blank space right now.
Does anyone have any advice for what GPS equipment I should buy? I'm kind of less interested in having it show me which way to go than having it be accurate at recording where I've been (if you see what I mean)
I'm going to have a look at some reviews and the wiki page but I'd be grateful if anyone has any definite no's to tell me about a particular model that they really love?

I use a Holux GPSlim236 over bluetooth with my mobile phone to record tracks with Trail Explorer (http://www.substanceofcode.com/software/mobile-trail-explorer/). This only shows the track and not the map, but there are other java programs that can do both. This is probably the cheapest alternative if you already have a java-enabled phone. A GPS-mouse costs £40+.

You might be interested to see how I've evolved my mapping technique, not least to speed up what I can do. See osm.wiki/index.php/User:David.earl
I'd definitely recommend using voice notes rather than pen and paper.
