 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!
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.
