Description:
The Foretrex 101 and its counterpart, Foretrex 201, deliver hands-free GPS
navigation in a lightweight, waterproof package. Lighter than many watches, this
wrist-mounted navigator runs on 2 AAA batteries and is ideal for kayaking, hang
gliding, skiing or any other activity that requires both hands free.
Track Back
No matter where your adventure takes you, you'll never worry about getting
lost when you're armed with the Foretrex 101. Foretrex keeps track of your path
and displays it as a tiny dotted trail on the screen. Just turn on Foretrex's
TracBack feature, and you can retrace your path back to the beginning. You can
save locations in memory as waypoints (up to 500 of them), so you can always
find your way back to any important place, like your campsite or vehicle.
Foretrex also lets you put several waypoints together to create and store routes
to all of your favorite places. To keep track of your trip, Foretrex 101
incorporates a trip computer, sunrise/sunset and hunting and fishing information
and can connect to your PC with the serial cable.
Set Sail
For sailing races and other competitions, you can set Foretrex's timers to
count down the start sequence of a race and sound audible alarms when a certain
time has passed. If you need to resynchronize your timer at any time, you can do
so with just one button press. The large-number display makes it easy to see
data at a glance. And, like all Garmin handhelds, it's tough, IPX7 waterproof
and easy to use with a few operating buttons.
