Check out Franson's GPSGate - http://www.franson.com/gpsgate/ - it saves tracking information, allows you to share your location, allows use of more than one gps app at the same time, allows tracking on GoogleEarth (with a desktop client), and lots of other stuff. There's a 14-day free trial.

I also use BackCountry Navigator - http://www.backcountrynavigator.com/. It's cool because it allows you to just download TerraServer maps and USGS waypoints. There's a 21-day free trial for it. - sheureka

PS - I replaced my GlobalSat (wouldn't hold a charge) with the OnCourse (http://www.buygpsnow.com/OnCourse-Bl...bled)_882.aspx) because it was really cheap and I needed something quickly. I used it for a week in a rental car in San Diego and was very, very pleased with it. It's on sale right now for only $39.99. - sheureka
