Features
The Foretrex 101 and its counterpart, Foretrex 201, deliver hands-free GPS
navigation in a lightweight, water resistant package. Lighter than many
watches, these wrist-mounted navigators run on 2 AAA batteries (Foretrex
101) or a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (Foretrex 201) and are 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 a Foretrex
101/201. The 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 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, water resistant (IPX7) and
easy to use with a few operating buttons.
