 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!
Excellent tracker March 26, 2008
This is my final GPS unit. It does what I want. It's easy to set and tracks quickly and efficiently.
Sure wish these things could see the satellites inside of buildings. I got it partly to find my car in mall parking lots, but it would also be handy to track back to the correct building entrance. Once it's moving around under roof, though, it can't track well, if at all.
I'd like it to have a lanyard hole, so I wouldn't always have to wear it on my wrist. I could use it as a key fob or have other options.
The computer interface cable has to be plugged in HARD to get it to connect. The Iogear USB to serial adapter cable works well with it.
Adventurers and Explorers-you need this tool! March 16, 2008
Although no single navigational tool should ever be used alone (a backup compass, using landmarks, maps & common sense are always necessary), the Garmin Foretrex 101 wristmounted GPS Navigator really works to "bring you home". I used this GPS in the wetland hardwoods of the Cache River NWR in East-Central Arkansas. This refuge, together with the White River NWR are dense bottomland hardwoods of oak and cyprus trees and marshes. Once inside these massive forrests (80+ miles long at points) you can barely see the sky and can get lost almost immediatly. My Garmin GPS was a great comfort as I kept walking deeper & deeper into the woods. It's simple to use and always let me know exactly (within 30 ft) where and how far away may my car was. After exploring for hours, I simply entered "Go To" my #1 position (my car), and followed the arrow home. It was simple and really worked. I am still learning to program the unit on how to enter a Long.& Lat. off of a topographical map so it can guide me to the exact spot I am interested in exploring. Once I have mastered this last test, I will be confident to take on the world. Good Luck and enjoy this great navigational tool.

I OWN TWO OF THESE GARMIN GPS's. I USE THEM TO RECORD THE MAX SPEED OF MY REMOTE CONTROLLED CARS AND TRUCKS. MORE ACCURATE THAN RADAR. FOR THIS TYPE OF GPS GARMIN IS THE BEST.
