This may seem familiar because Dave did almost the exact same thing back in October 2003 (see list passim), although it didn't get anywhere at the time.
If you could pass this URL around and encourage people to enter their postcodes and lat/long, then that would be great!

Can anyone recommend a windows mobile GPS app with good "make a note of this position" functionality. Noting down lat and log on a bit of paper just seems wrong.

I don't know of any specifics, but surely anything calling it a GPS interface should let you note down waypoints?

Notepad.exe? :-)
On a similar note, can anyone recommend a GPS which will talk to OSX over wifi, bluetooth or usb and give me access to the raw NMEA datastream through a standard character device as well as having nifty OS X apps bundled with it?
A GPS that talks wifi would be especially nifty as I wouldn't need any cables or a bluetooth dongle.

There are no Nifty OS X apps bundled, but the pretec BlueGPS/Royaltek RBT-3000 has treated me extremely well in this regard. If you don't want logging at all (can only get the logs in Windows or Linux) then you might look for one of their other (cheaper) non-logging products, like the mini Xtreme: http://www.royaltek.com/index.php/content/view/83/62/ which I found online for $100.
Basically, it lets you 'cat /dev/cu.BlueGPS' and get the raw nmea data. Anything that can talk to raw nmea over a serial device will work fine with it. However, GPS software for mac is extremely limited.
This is why I just write code on my phone that does it instead :)
