 Great device! January 18, 2007

This is a great GPS device. My only complaint is that it is hard to turn the GPS tracking off. This is only an issue when you are downloading to a computer in a building where you can't get a signal.
It is easy to use and gets great accuracy!

I wanted a small lightweight GPS with some basic navigation features at an affordable price. I've had the Foretrex 101 for almost a year and am very impressed. I use it hiking, mountain biking, xc skiing, and in my canoe. It's small size and the fact that I can just strap it to my wrist, my pack, the handlebars on my mtn bike (with a small piece of pipe insulation), or the thwart of my canoe, means I actually take it with and us it.
I had purchased another GPS about a decade ago and it was almost useless (heavy, couldn't keep a signal, drained the batteries). The foretrex 101 is a world of difference from the older devices. It grabs a signal pretty quick, holds it well under most conditions, and takes 2 AAA batteries that I find last for 8 to 10 hours (I use rechargeable).
The biggest downside is it doesn't come with a cable to connect to your computer or any software, but I purchased a separate cable online for about 10 or 15 bucks and downloaded the free version of EasyGPS that I use to download my track and waypoint data.
For those wanting maps, this device isn't designed for them. But it does do a great job of keeping track of where you are in relation to where you were (very useful on a some of the trail systems I use) as well as tracking distance traveled. You can't really compare it to a full featured GPS with maps, but then again, you're not going to find a full featured GPS with maps in this small lightweight design in this price range.

This is my second foretrex, I love it. For the price, it gives all the data that I need. It is very accurate, holds ample way points, stores tracks, will navigate, and is interface capable with an optional power cord. It has a terrible map. If you want a map, color screen, driving directions, exc... This is not the GPS for you, but if you want a SUPER SMALL, accurate, and cost effective GPS, this is it!!!!!

This is a fantastic unit. I own 3 GPS units. A Magellan 2000XL, a Garmin GPS V, and this unit. I use this unit far more often than the other units. It's light, accurate, and very easy to use. I really don't miss having maps at all with this unit. I use it for hiking, and dirt biking. I can't think of anything negative to say about this unit. I find it simply perfect for backpacking where weight is an issue, as long as you bring a map which I don't mind at all. Plus carrying extra batteries isn't an issue since it uses AAA's which are lighter as well. I highly recommend this GPS.
