Garmin Foretrex 101
Garmin Foretrex 101 has all the features and functionality of the Foretrex 201, including PC interface capabilities for downloading waypoints, tracks and routes. The main difference is that it operates on two AAA batteries.
Its 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.
The Garmin Foretrex 101 is a wrist-mounted GPS unit for the minimalist. It's small and lightweight. It weighs the same as the Suunto X9 to within a few tenths of an ounce. The Garmin Foretrex 101 focuses on the no frills basics of navigation in an easy-to-use unit. To meet size, battery life and price criteria, Garmin eliminated features such as topographic mapping, a barometric altimeter and a magnetic compass.
Foretrex 101 features:
GPS accuracy: 15 meters or less in normal GPS mode, 3 meters or less when WAAS-enabled
Trip computer: Trip distance, trip timer, plus other non-mapping navigation data
Waterproof: IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (submersible in one meter of water for up to 30 mins.)
Waypoints and routes: 500 waypoints with graphic identification; 20 reversible routes
Track log: 10,000 trackpoints, TracBack technology and 10 saved tracks
Display: 100 x 64-pixel monochrome display with backlighting (display size: 36mm x 23mm)
Battery life: 15 hours (typical use) on 2 AAA batteries
Lightweight design: 2.6 oz.
Unit dimensions: 3.3"W x 1.7"H x .9"D (8.38 cm x 4.32 cm x 2.29 cm
Having a GPS on your wrist has two benefits. It frees up your hands for climbing, paddling or trekking poles. It also gives you continuously readable navigation information. The Foretrex 101 can also be used as a small handheld unit by removing the strap. Without the strap, it is similar in function to the Garmin Geko 201, but is smaller and lighter. The Garmin Foretrex 101 compares in its wrist-mounted mode to the Suunto X9, except for the lack of an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter. It is also bulkier on the wrist. However, the Garmin Foretrex 101 has more reliable and faster GPS reception, a larger display and is significantly easier to operate than the X9. Overall, the 101 is an excellent value for a GPS. It has just the right navigational features for backcountry navigation.
