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.
