  • Focused and capable device
Style: Strap included
This is a very basic device, but it really has everything you need. The MIP screen on the Foretrex 801 is very crisp and readable. The UI is intuitive. Using AAA batteries makes it easy to keep backup power around (but you won't need it because it sips power). Having it on my wrist is very handy when hiking in open country and trying to keep to a bearing. It works with great the Garmin Basecamp desktop app and I haven't had to link it to my Garmin Cloud account to update the firmware. The reason I got it was it just seemed easier to have a wrist mounted GPS when doing navigation where there are no trails. I'm also trying to get better at reading 24k topo maps, so I use the Foretrex in combination with custom printed maps created on Caltopo and a MapTools UTM grid tool. Basecamp, the Foretrex, and Caltopo all work with standard GPX files which makes syncing between them a breeze. So far, so good. ... show more

  • Great product
Style: Strap included
Love it. So far I love it. I would recommend good batteries because cheap batteries will go bad after a day. My only recommendation. Is better manual. I’m still trying to use it even with the manual.

  • Great GPS
Style: Strap included
This is not my first garmin but it is my first GPS of this caliber. The screen is extremely crisp and looks great. It’s an extremely durable device but I’m still planning on getting a screen protector on it just in case. It’s extremely user friendly and can use it anywhere. Great purchase.

Better screen, better battery life, just better than the trusty old 601.

  • Run run
Style: Strap included
Lost my other one I brought almost 8 years ago so was in need of an upgrade anyway. This is much lighter and the display is much better. Haven't used it for work yet but the route tracker looks way more accurate.

  • EXCELLENT PRODUCT
Style: Strap included
Great product for my field work. Has everything I need and use on both the military and the civilian side. I can say it should have rechargeable batteries of its own, but if you have those energizer rechargeable ones you are fine.
