Garmin Forerunner 201 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer

Garmin Forerunner 201 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer Finally, an alternative to awkward pedometers and cycling computers. The Forerunner 201 offers athletes an easy-to-read display and integrated GPS satellite receiver that provides precise speed, distance, and pace data–all in one compact unit that straps to your wrist. It s a lightweight, accurate training assistant with performance tracking, auto-lap, auto-pause and more. And because it is a high quality Garmin GPS device, you get many of the features GPS users have come to rely on, such as precise latitude, longitude, altitude data. Choose either the 201 model for rechargeable power or the 101 if you prefer to use 2 AAA batteries. The Forerunner 201 is easy to use right out of the box and delivers the benefits of GPS technology at an affordable price.

To please folks who are passionate about their exercise and training, Garmin has added something special to the Forerunner 201 called the Virtual Partner. The feature allows you to set your training goal by configuring your Virtual Partner s pace and workout distance. You’ll get a graphic perspective of your performance by viewing your pace in relation to your Virtual Partner s pace, so you can always see at a glance if you’re keeping up or falling behind.

Almost as important as the training device itself are the accessories to integrate it with your active lifestyle. If you’re into cycling, the best way to keep an eye on your GPS while you ride is with a bike mount bracket that straps to the handlebars of your bike, motorcycle, or whatever you’re traveling with for easy viewing.

• Mark specific locations, and then look-up and navigate to these points using an electronic map.
