GPS logger or satnav advice?

Options
Hi, just want to know if anybody has any ideas about a GPS logging device.

I need some way of logging my times at jobs, including my start time in the morning and finish time.

I've had gps loggers in the past but these have been complicated, needing to load into Google maps, exporting files etc.

Does anybody know of a simple logger, perhaps even a satnav which records my entire days journey with street names, not just co-ordinates?

Are there satnavs which will display a proper log, including street names and durations of travel with times?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

    well there are multiple running/jogging phone apps.
    They monitor distance/time etc with maps and many with exportable/uploadable data.

    eg

    Uses GPS and Google Maps

    Facebook and Twitter integration
    Voice prompts at intervals
    Calculates calories burned
    Integrates with Bluetooth Smart (BLE) heart rate monitors
    A fun and useful tool for setting goals and tracking progress

    Thanks,

    I was really looking for a satnav which I can simply look on the screen and scroll through my journeys, or some kind of logger with a screen. I don't want to have to come home, remove the device, take it in the house, plug it into a pc etc.

    I'm hoping to find something simpler.

    If however, I could leave everything in the van and somehow access the data remotely, that would do!

    When I get home, I need to be able to look at the last street I worked at before driving home, then see my return home time.

    The apps upload from your phone.
    There is no plugging in.
    Its as simple as you will find.
    You would need a sat nav with data connection.
    So really a phone with sat nav.
