Summary: This has been the best monitoring device I have ever used.
Comment: 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)

Comment: 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.

Summary: Excellent tracker
Comment: 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.

Summary: Garmin's the best
Comment: 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!

Summary: Easy to Learn and Work
Comment: 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.
