Suggestions? What is the best/cheapest/lower power usage GPS odometer I could buy?
 
Since i have been experimenting with EOC and some of my cars have more or less inop odometers. Anyone have a good solution for an accurate GPS odometer? I would prefer it to be

1. Cheap
2. Black and white, no backlight, lower power consumption
3. Does not reset the odometer when I engine off
4. Accurate
5. Small

The actual GPS and map part doesn't much matter to me, only the ability to log miles. I also don't care if it would be an old or used model and it definately can't be a power hog making my batteries die in the winter.

Any suggestions?

well, you can get something like this for $10 from the bicycle section of the local store prolly:

Bicycle Bike 16 function Computer Odometer Speedometer - eBay (item 290513040703 end time Dec-18-10 17:28:08 PST)

just have to figure out where to mount the magnet and the reed switch.

It's about the cheapest/lowest power (button cell) option there is for tracking distance/speed.

I remember an ecomodder from Switzerland saying he had a bike odometer. The magnet was on the front driver's side wheel. I can never find his post, though.

EDIT: Here it is:
BICYCLE COMPUTER for easy EOC
