The Foretrex 101 packs outdoor navigation into a wrist-mounted GPS receiver. View larger. | The 101 is the perfect navigational tool for a wide variety of outdoor enthusiasts, such as mountain bikers, hikers, and kayakers. This unit features Garmin's intuitive operating logic, using six dedicated buttons (GoTo, Page, Enter/Mark, Up, Down, and Power) 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. It offers all the most essential navigation data--enhanced accuracy, extensive storage for waypoints, and reversible routes and tracks--on an easy-to-read display. 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 any water sport adventure, like kayaking, canoeing, boating, and sailing. In fact, this device even incorporates 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. The Foretrex 101 delivers GPS accuracy of 15 meters or less in normal GPS mode and three meters or less when WAAS-enabled. The trip computer tracks and maintains important data, such as trip distance, trip timer, and other non-mapping navigation data. And the device can store up to 500 waypoints with graphic icon identification, 20 reversible routes, and 10,000 trackpoints. The device is waterproof to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards and can be submersed in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes without damaging the components. The 100 x 64 pixel monochrome display with backlighting is compact but easy to read in almost any light condition.

 Weak signal September 9, 2008
I don't know if my specific product was defective or if it was a design flaw, but the "weak signal" symbol and accompanying beep were constantly coming up. I had intended to use this during mountain biking, but it would not keep accurate distance. I even tested it while driving, where I could compare the odometer reading in my car with the odometer on the GPS. Still, the Foretrex was significantly lower than the actual mileage.
Almost perfect August 31, 2008
I've been using GPS's for decades, for work and pleasure. The sensitivity of this product is phenomenal. This GPS does exactly what it is supposed to for a reasonable price. Why only 4 stars? In today's age of technology there is no reason a low power OLED with a map capable SD map slot is not installed. I would pay a little extra for that. Go with the AAA battery version if you plan on using it a lot; especially in the field or on mission.
 Easy to Learn and Work August 12, 2008
We use this wrist model for Mounted Posse, Search and Rescue and for mapping trails in the forest. The display is bright and clear - easy to read in sun and shade. For the equestrian it stays with you on your wrist, takes one hand to operate instead of the traditional hand held units. Lots of good features packed into a compact size. A good buy at the cost.
Great tool for Photo-tagging June 27, 2008
I bought this for specific purposes that I think its very good for. I use this type of unit to do my photography geotagging. It wears in your wrist and will log where you take your pictures by using additional software that will allow to match up your digital photos to the GPS track log history. being on your wrist its always available to get a signal from the satellites when your taking your picture. Also when I goto Shopping malls or sporting events, I mark my car and use it to find my car in large parking lots. The key to this is you dont have a bulky GPS in your pocket while your at a concert or sportingevent its worn on your wrist, lightweight. has computer interface with additional cable ~$13 (serial only), great uses for portable APRS tracking (an amateur radio application). I choose this over the Garmin Gecko for having a better power button, the Geko was too easy to have turn on while in your pocket, this works well for the purposes I mention if you do not need maps or need your hands free, great for biking or geocaching as well. for the $99 -$130. It will also plot and do auto route back if you leave it on while navigating outdoors so you can find your way back out., handsfree is the key to buying this unit. The also choose the 101 over the 201 for the ability to carry extra batteries and change them in the field vs having to charge the 201.
Garmin's the best May 22, 2008
Garmin has come up with a fantastic idea, having a wrist mounted gps. It works great both for hiking and driving. It's easy to download tracks and waypoints (with the recommended cable) to a computer so you can see them on google earth. Great investment!
