| The economical Foretrex™ 101
is the wrist-mount GPS that frees up your hands so you can
focus on your outdoor activities. This product joins the
Foretrex 201 in Garmin’s growing line of wearable, wrist
navigation devices. The Foretrex 101 has all the features
and functionality of the Foretrex 201, including PC
interface capabilities for downloading waypoints, tracks and
routes, but operates on two AAA batteries. It’s
easy-to-use interface and basic GPS capabilities are perfect
for outdoor enthusiasts who would rather replace the
batteries than recharge the unit in the field. This unit
features Garmin’s intuitive operating logic, utilizing six
dedicated buttons to simplify navigation. Whether it’s a
campsite, deer stand, or other place of interest, users can
mark its location, identify the waypoint, and navigate to it
later using the GoTo function. Also, with the help of
Garmin’s exclusive TracBack® technology, users can retrace
their steps by following an electronic breadcrumb trail back
to their original starting point.
Because the unit is waterproof, the Foretrex 101 is a
natural companion on watersport adventures like kayaking,
canoeing, boating and sailing. In fact, this device
incorporates another feature found on the Foretrex 201: a
sailboat-racing timer. Competitors can configure the
countdown sequence prior to the start of the race and
utilize their GPS location to be in the best possible
tacking position when the race begins.
