Garmin 010-01772-00 Foretrex 601, 2 inches

Highly recommend it specially if you go for long hikes. So many options. Still learning even thought its been years already.

Fortrex 401 does the same thing. The backlight is better and buttons are higher quality. This product always loses gps signal and the 401 never did

***************

The Foretrex 601 seems like a very well made product with many powerful features and one glaring omission (for me anyway): there is no way to set an alarm. In watch mode it simply tells the time, nothing else (plus it turns off GPS communications, to save battery life). In navigation mode (as opposed to watch mode) it has a countdown timer, but it is limited to a maximum of 99 minutes and 59 seconds.

If you buy this 601 be ready to view the Lost satellite reception prompt- OFTEN. This is specially annoying when traveling waypoints in the woods as you have to wait until signal kicks in. This could be potentially life threatening. This can occur on cloudy AND clear days. You will also note the interface glitches as you navigate. My Foretrex 401 rarely lost signal, and that was off GPS only. The 601 is supposed to run off GPS and GLONASS. An absolute disappointment and will return.

Definitely helped out in the field during my army training

Rugged little tracker does multiple things easy use and really rugged. Has jump altimeter that myself as a fat man that does not like airplanes will never test or try it has multiple pre loaded jumps. Track and trail is easy waypoints to routes are easy. Very well rounded rig. The extra option of gallois satikite works great. Used this thing a lot this hunting season. This is also great for tracking your animal after the shot if they wonder a little ways you can see were u have been and back track easily. All in all unless ur a sharp shooter or in theater I think the ballistic calculator would be over kill for normal people. Would buy this again and just did s an xmas gift.

EFICACIA y discreción.

This thing is awesome. I have the 401 and this is a nice upgrade.
