What a blast for the past! I still have a functioning Wintec GPS tracker which I bought in 2007. One battery lasts for some days, I have multiple batteries… It’s barely larger than a pack of matches. Currently they sell This model here https://www.win-tec.com.tw/portfolio-item/wbt202/ , I have a WBT200.
This is very much like the one I want to replace. Unfortunately, it's not available for retail purchase anymore.
True, sorry. I just looked at the site on my mobile. Also no luck on eBay for me...
If my memory serves me good, then a https://www.amazon.com/i-gotU-GT-120-Travel-Logger-Software/... should also do the trick.

Here's a video contrasting the ArmA/DayZ Cherno map versus drone footage of the real place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLhCNEpcPO4
I'm completely lost without driving directions these days. But after accruing a few hundred hours in ArmA and DayZ, if you dropped me in or north of Usti nad Labem, I could get around no problem.

Or just don’t use it? These sorts of comments always ignore the bidirectional relationship between websites and web users. They don’t owe you anything, you’re just another customer with a choice to make.
Yes, that's implicit to the complaint: "too much tracking and profiling being requested: won't use." And then you post a comment letting others know, in the hopes that they do better on their own websites because they see people voice the fact that they'll bounce on unreasonable tracking modals. They don't owe me anything, I don't owe them anything, and when someone with whom we have no debt relationship one way or t…
I suppose I could understand this complaint more if this was an unusual sight to behold, but surely you see this pattern a million times a day like the rest of society?
I guess it just seems like it's a little overly pedantic, like those people that insist every intersection be replaced with a roundabout because it's more efficient for traffic. It misses the point.
I think the law requiring websites to show the stupid things at every turn was a bad one. It should have been required of browsers to come up with some kind of one-time-per-user configuration standard of data collection and just be done with it. To me, that's better to do it once or twice per computer or whatever the case is, than with every little single-purpose website that someone browses to.
Anyhow, I misread your original complaint anyways, I should've read more carefully before typing. That's my mistake.

Garmin Etrex.
Discontinued, according to https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/6403 The only available Garmin alternative is $200. The one I'm replacing was $30. But I'm willing to go to $75. Also, it's a bit large because it has a screen, but that's not a deal-breaker. The one I'm replacing didn't even have a screen, just a light for power and a light to indicate it was connected to the satellites.
There is a newer model eTrex 10.

I have it, it does the job well. It can store about 14 days of walking, the 25 hour battery life is accurate, it can do more with good batteries (uses 2 AA) and if you reduce the recording interval.
The map is rubbish, I deleted it to get more data for the exported tracks, which you can download to any computer with a USB cable, no special driver needed. Unfortunately it doesn't have a card slot.
The great thing for hiking is it supports just about any coordinate system you can think of (at least supports all that I know).

#88Mapy.cz are very good outside of Czech Republic as well.
Perfect for offline hiking maps in Slovakia. Google Maps are basically unusable outside of car roads.
Not for offline (unless you pre-cache), but https://Freemap.sk (which is also OSM-based) is even better for online use.

#89Awesome. Breathtaking. But the imagery isn't from satellite data, is it? Must be from airplanes.
Indeed, something like 25cm or better is typically shot from airplanes. I don't remember what the physical limit is for image quality given a reasonably sized spy satellite (iirc it's around the 20cm mark), but commercially at least, the high quality imagery is all airplanes. Governments often commission such planes to fly ~yearly at something like 10 cm, as well as commissioning height maps[1], but the very good stu…
New Zealand regularly uses flying companies to take aerial imagery photos of most of the country, which is generally taken between 30cm and ~2cm, Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) then releases this imagery imagery completely free (CC-BY)[1,2] to the public and can be downloaded as GeoTIFFs [3]
I think LINZ decided that disclaimer: I work at Land Information New Zealand
