Are you referring to a GPS mounted on a boat or handheld?

Most GPS/Charplotters for boats have a TRACK feature that will essentially record position incrementally leaving a line on the screen. My unit in particular does allow the saving of my tracks to memory. I think most of the better hand held GPS devices have this feature as well.

Does this answer your question?

Yes, GPS will hold up to a certian amount of waypoints. (locations) I believe All do this.

Waypoints/favorites/locations: 500 This one to the left is just a inexpensive on from Garmin

Delorme makes some pretty slick USB GPS receivers.

Add whatever software you want or just log it via hyperterminal.

I use TOPO! with either a Magellan GPS315 on foot or when lugging the laptop isn't an option, or a Garmin LT-20 for the vehicle or with the laptop. Both older equipment, but has worked well for a few years.

With the Magellan I U/L the waypoints and tracks to TOPO and make my annotations on the maps to save. Locations from Google Earth or other sources can be palced on a map and D/Led to the GPS for future hunts. TOPO will let you display streets if you like.
