Reviews of the Garmin Foretrex 301
This is a convenient and Hands-Free GPS Receive
Pros: Lightweight, precise, compact, simple to use, displays two positions simultaneously including both longitude and latitude, UTM, GMRS, and if in the GPX format data can be saved.
Cons: Low resolution, limited usability of the strap.
Notes: This does not offer mapping and turn-by-turn functions however it is not meant to. It does display tracks, straight-line distance and bearing which are all basic GPSr functions.
Although I do own both a Magellan Meridian Gold as well as a Garmin Etrex Legend HCx and I have put both to plenty of use, I have also used the Foretrex 301.
