I have a GPS tracker that's meant to be stuck on a car or child or something and allows you to track its progress on a website. It uses a cheap data-only sim to update location when it has a signal, storing the track points when it doesn't. It seemed a bit flaky though so I've not really used it since the lejog thing. I might drag it out and see if it has any juice left.

Agreed re: the easiest way being to follow a line on a map. Turn by turn routing always seems to throw up some annoying issues.
On the issue of it crashing and losing tracks, I have one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canmore-GT-730FL-Rechargeable-Waypoints-Compatible/dp/B004BBD1QE
I use it for when I'm out taking pictures and want to geotag them rather than cycling but it works fine for just recording a GPX track (there's no screen, start/stop button or anything, just a flashing light to show the status and an on/off switch). It's about the size of a large USB drive and the 17hour battery life is meant to be accurate (obviously not long enough for all but it can be charged on the go).
