 worst garmin foretrex ever August 24, 2010

This should have been the foretrex 101
you cannot download tracks to The Garmin Center or Google earth
it did not recognize either of my Garmin Heart Monitors.
I feel that Garmin should have a recall of this model and refunded the purchase price.
I am very sorry that I purchased it.

I would like to say this is an outstanding product. I owned one of the earlier models, the gamin fortrex 201. The 401 is a superior model to the 201 because of added features and got rid of a bunch of the bulk associated in the first model. My only complaint about the newer model that I liked about the 201 is the rechargeable battery. Although the battery power consumption is outstanding, replacing batteries can be costly and a pain in the rear. But over all I highly recommend this item.

This GPS is excellent. I use it for military application in a tactical environment and also for long hikes in dense trees in the mountains. Truly a great product, extremely easy to use controls, easy to read and understand screen and very durable. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a highly quality GPS that will be used in an outdoor setting.
Very handy and accurate June 26, 2010

just bought this because I am heading back to Afghanistan. it works great has the fields you need and not a lot of clutter. picks up A signal in seconds even indoors and stays inplace when you strap it on. it will surely be a life saver for me on the ground when I need a quick reliable reference. just wish you could load maps to it. it works on 2 AA batt so you don't have to worry about running out of a charge. I recommend this product!
Unit has a bug in user grid / datum June 21, 2010

Great unit, if you don't need user grid. If you do, there is a bug in the algorithm that can results in displaying wrong coordinates. I measured an error of more than 240ft (around 70m). Note that this happens with SW version 2.30 released around May, 2010. Earlier SW versions, didn't even support user grid. There is a clip on YouTube showing the bug.
Upadte 6/23 -
Garmin response is that there is nothing wrong with the SW. Though it should be mentioned that this was their response also when the feature was not working at all. Later on Garmin released SW version 2.30, advertising a fix for user grid.
If you need user grid, don't buy this device. About the device in general, the bad part is that the HW is really nice, but I have concerns about the SW. I would be a bit worried when such a basic feature is not working, that there are other problems with the device.
