The
Foretrex 201: Hands-free, lightweight, affordable GPS
 The
Foretrex™ 201 is a wearable
Personal Navigator™, perfect for outdoor and marine enthusiasts who
desire hands-free GPS navigation in a
lightweight, affordable
package. At a mere 2.75 ounces, this waterproof wonder is
lighter than most watches, and its wrist-top mount frees up hands
for outdoor activities. Sporting an ergonomic wristband, the
Foretrex 201 is similar in design to the
Forerunner 201, yet
is chocked full of GPS navigation features for hiking and trail use.
With a user-friendly
interface, the rugged Foretrex 201
simplifies navigation, making it ideal for the backcountry or water.
Its six dedicated buttons (GoTo, Page, Enter/Mark, Up, Down and
Power) make it easy to operate. It offers the most essential
navigation data — enhanced GPS accuracy, extensive storage
for waypoints, and reversible routes and tracks — on an
easy-to-read display. Don't worry about packing extra batteries,
because the Foretrex 201 runs on an internal lithium battery for
15 hours (typical use). Simply recharge and go.
The
Foretrex 201 also comes equipped
with special features sure to please mariners and hikers alike. It
includes a unique application for sailing and paragliding racers
that allows them to configure the start sequence of a race. The
countdown is displayed in a large-number format that audibly alerts
the user at each phase of the start sequence. With the help of Garmin's exclusive TracBack® technology, hikers can mark a
campsite, go trekking all day, and follow the electronic "breadcrumb
trail" back to camp in time for dinner.
Please note: The
difference between
the ForeTrex 201 and the ForeTrex 101 is the ForeTrex 101 does
not have PC interface capabilities, runs on 2 AAA batteries, and has
larger unit dimensions
