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.
