 forerunner 201 out of date August 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love the forerunner 201. I've used one for over 2 years to track my runs. I can keep track of my pace, distance, calories burned, and even keep a record of bike trips. Unfortunately, Garmin hasn't updated the device to allow me to connect this newly purchased forerunner with my 2008 computer. Their customer service department has been unable to help me with the problem and I may be forced to return this device and purchase something that is compatible with my computer.

I'm extremely happy with the Garmin Forerunner 201. It does everything I need and is simple to use. This is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone looking at an exercise tool to keep you on track. I really can't say enough good things about it and the service I received. It's simple and it works.
Good... when it works. July 7, 2008

When it works, it's terrific. Problem is that it's inconsistent in picking up GPS satellite. I start my runs from the same location every time and the 201 varies in its pickup of signal even though it's the same time, same location, same weather. Some days it works without a hitch -- and on other days, it will not pick up a signal even though it had no problem the day before. It will drop the GPS in the middle of a run in inconsistent places (again, I generally run the same route), and when it finally picks it up again it can misjudge the mileage by up to a half-mile. I know it's not top-of-the-line, but I would expect a company with Garmin's reputation to provide a better product. I'm hoping the 205 does a better job.
 Can't connect to the computer July 4, 2008

I have started using the 201 to track both my bike riding and walking. However, I can't get it to be recognized by the computer to use the tracking software. Garmin so far has not been able to help, another phone call to customer service is in the future. I really am satisfied with products that operate as they are advertised - I do not like to drag satisfaction out of a company.
Runners best friend - Forerunner 201 June 30, 2008

This is the second Forerunner 201 I have purchased and have been delighted with them both. As a keen but amateur runner the precision measuring of the distance of my running routes off road and in inaccessible places is superb. I use it in the British Virgin Islands in the hills and island pathways and the GPS never fails me. It's a terrific running partner and motivation tool. My only annoyance is it not having a USB link to my computer. The serial port connection cable is not user friendly to many new laptops and so I cannot use it to it's fullest extent. I think it's great value for money.
