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 found in Garmin's popular Geko 201 unit.
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.
