What our customer's say!

"Weak signal", 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", 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", 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", 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", 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!

"JUNK!", i've had my garmin for about 2 years and only used it about 4 or 5 times and now its stuck in the searching for signal mode. none of the buttons work and the only way to turn it off is to let the batteries run out or take out the batteries. i will never buy one of these again.

"Not Waterproof", I've had the Foretrex 101 for about 4 months and used it primarily for sea kayaking. While it has functioned pretty well over the period, it has now become unusable due to water getting in through the battery cover. Looking at the seal on that cover, it's pretty minimal compared to those on other waterproof gear I own. Would probably be ok for hiking and biking but, certainly in a salt water environment, I'd steer clear of this one.

"Garmin Foretrex 101", The battery life was WELL under what was estimated in product info. This is not a bad product, just not what I was expecting. I do alot of backcountry backpacking and found that the unit had a difficult time keeping a signal under tree cover. Once out in the OPEN above treeline, no problem. But what's the point if half you distance might be in treeline and it won't be able to track?? Battery life poor in MY opinion.

"This has been the best monitoring device I have ever used. ", I like to mountain bike, cycle ride, triathlons, hike and other outdoor sports. This little GPS has been able to handle the load of all of these. Love all the features. I read that this little gem loses signals a lot, huh? I use it in northern Az in the forest, canyons, mountains and river valleys and I have to tell you driving, hiking, and riding in AZ, NM, and Tx I only lost signal 4 times and that was when I was in a tunnel or when I fell into the lake. Moreover, on that note, to make this gem perfect for all out door activities why did not they make it waterproof for swimming. Now its is rank for a 1 meter 30 minute submersion but who swims for only 30mins. Why didn't Garmin design a USB cable connection instead of a serial cable that cost an extra $15-$45 cable if you don't have a serial port on a new computer. What were they thinking? Duh!!!! Battery life, oh come on, with all of this new technology battery life is only 15 hours? I have to change out the battery every week unless I use rechargeable while I have to charge every night before use. Those three reason is why it gets a 4.7 of 5.

Best little GPS for the price. If not the FT 101 get the Forerunner 101 (more so for runnuers)

Pros:
Lightweight
Easy to use
Highly versatile, because of the Velcro strap and many different functions
Large display
Strong signal reception


Cons:
Battery life
PC Connection
Does not float
No stopwatch (F.R. does)


"Great product for the price!", The Garmin Foretrex 101 is perfect for the active outdoorsman. It straps right on to your wrist and off you go. I use mine mainly for Powered-paragliding. It allows me to enjoy my flights more because I'm not constantly having to keep track of where I am; and it tells me my ground speed and rate of climb. I would definately recommend this product to anyone who wants a GPS unit that's small, easy to operate and recieves a signal almost anywhere.
