Garmin Foretrex 101 Wearable Wrist GPS

Details

The economical Foretrex 101 is the wrist-mount GPS that frees up your hands so you can focus on your outdoor activities. This product joins the Foretrex 201 in Garmin’s growing line of wearable, wrist navigation devices. The Foretrex 101 has all the features and functionality of the Foretrex 201, including PC interface capabilities for downloading waypoints, tracks and routes, but operates on two AAA batteries.

It’s easy-to-use interface and basic GPS capabilities are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who would rather replace the batteries than recharge the unit in the field. This unit features Garmin’s intuitive operating logic, utilizing six dedicated buttons to simplify navigation. Whether it’s a campsite, deer stand, or other place of interest, users can mark its location, identify the waypoint, and navigate to it later using the GoTo function. Also, with the help of Garmin’s exclusive TracBack technology, users can retrace their steps by following an electronic breadcrumb trail back to their original starting point.

Because the unit is waterproof, the Foretrex 101 is a natural companion on watersport adventures like kayaking, canoeing, boating and sailing. In fact, this device incorporates another feature found on the Foretrex 201: a sailboat-racing timer. Competitors can configure the countdown sequence prior to the start of the race and utilize their GPS location to be in the best possible tacking position when the race begins.

I purchased the Garmin 101 to use with a radio controlled boat, to use for testing different props, battery packs and other misc. adjustments. It is wonderful for this purpose for several reasons. 1.) It is totally water proof, even tough I have not dunked it yet it is nice to know it will survive. 2.) It isvery light weight, so it adds very little weight for the large payback in being able to record max and average speed. 3.) It is a nice size which means it does not take up much space in an already small space! Overall I would highly recommend it for any RC appliaction where you want to record max speeds, record different run specs, by the run and average speed by run . . . Good luck, Rick

PS: also get the PC cable so you can download the info to your PC to keep recrds of all runs!!
