Garmin Foretrex 201, 20 Oct 2005
Hi there!Just got the Foretrex 201 yesterday, nice piece of kit, and easier to use than the ETrex and other units that Garmin make. Seems to work ok, smaller than i'd expected, but easy to see the display, navigate around and use. Backlight is very good, even in total darkness, and enables the user to read the screen at arm's length. The strap is good and easy to adjust and should fit most people quite well. No built in base map, but then you knew that before you looked here, didn't you... I'm going to be using the device for giving quick locations and navigation in areas where I know roughly where I am, but would like to be able to get straight to a place quickly. I bought this unit rather than the 101, because it is rechargeable. The charger is massive though, so don't think you'll be able to just stash it in your rucksack.
