Buy new gps. Can you help me?

Unfortunately as you've noticed, our introductory documentation is a bit out of date and a bit rubbish (although here is a contribution that hopefully may be part of an improvement).

At the top level, you've essentially got the choice between GPS loggers (like your friend is using now) and stand-alone devices, some of which can also display maps created from OSM data and direct you along routes based on that (like a car sat-nav).

The Garmin Glo and BT-Q818XT are both GPS loggers. Unfortunately I'm familiar with neither - it's possible that someone who is may spot this question, but if they don't you might be better asking for a recommendation somewhere else - perhaps on the #osm IRC channel (you can connect on the web if you don't have any IRC software).

What I can say is that any new logger will probably need to work with his existing phone, and preferably with any existing software - so it might be worth finding that out.
