I have mine set to log by distance every 0.01m; that ensures you
still have an accurate track log, but don't waste points while
stationary (apart from some GPS position drift.)  The 10000 point
limit only applies to the internal memory and displayed track;
as others have stated, with a microSD card installed, it will
log all points (grouped by day) to the capacity of the card.

I got a 2GB card, because I didn't know how much space the Garmin
City Navigator maps would take up (several hundred MB as it turned
out.)  I've also added the latest version of Contours Australia,
which are free 10m topographical maps and very useful to have.
(Loading all of both map sets requires close to 1GB of storage,
but you can select only those areas of interest if space is
limited.)
