[aprssig] Good Deal On Garmin ForeTrex 101 Wrist-Wearable GPS

[Stephen H. Smith]

I just received an email flyer from Comp-U-Plus with a rather good sale 
on the Garmin ForeTrex 101 Wrist-wearable GPS. They are offering this 
unit for USD $70   This is a very versatile unit which has standard 4800 
baud NMEA serial output.  Wear it on your wrist as a perfect companion 
to the TH-D7 hand-held, or throw it on the dash for use with a TinyTrak 
III or 4.

I have a web page reviewing the ForeTrex 201 on my website at:

     <http://wa8lmf.net/ForeTrex>     

The only difference is that the 201 contains an internal non-removable 
rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the 101 runs on a pair of 
standard removable AAA cells.     The 101 is a little thicker, 
front-to-rear, since the AAA cells are bulkier than the cell-phone-type 
wafer lithium battery of the 201.  Otherwise the two units are 
functionally identical. 

The Comp-U-Sales web page for this item is:
