Re: [RC] Wrist GPS - Keith Kibler

Lauren

If he is a runner or a bicylist and will use it for that and horsing around, I would suggest the Garmin Forerunner 201. The three models in this series are as follows:
101- does what you want and uses batteries that you keep putting in.
201 - is rechargable (I have this one)
301- like the 201 but has heartrate sensorsing capablitlies and is more expensive. If you dont need heartrate dont pay the extra for this model.
also, the 201 allows easy hookup to your computer to upload your workouts and where your workouts where conducted. So, if you pay 15 $ a year to get a program called "google earth" Then you can superimpose your trails riding on a map that you can flip around and "fly" over the map s you make. It is so cool and have logged over a 1000 miles in the last year doing this.


If he is not a runner and will not need to use it for that then I suggest what my little woman uses:
Garmin Foretrex
101
201
301
same features as the above descpriction but the Foretrex is more trail specific with some of its options rather than a blending of purposes.


You can get all these over the interenet and compare prices easily. Google "compare prices for garmin" or something and it is easy.
I paid about 135 for the Forerunner from Walmart .com and paid about 105 for the Foretrex from a sale at Aldi's of all places.
Hope this helps
