 		 This GPS is very functional for military personal as it is rite there when you need it. Whether you put it on your wrist or mount it on your rifle, the grid you need to call in a "9 Liner" is no more than a foot from your nose at all times. The goto button is another great feature. Great product at a great price. Sorry to see it discontinued.

 		 I just purchased the third Garmin Foretrex 101 in about six years (the first one was lost while sailing and the second one got knocked too hard while sailing). It is the most compact unit with all the features desired for sailing, hiking, skiing, and other boating. It has good battery life and is very accurate - the receiver has been updated and now it has extra features like the countdown timer with an even lower price - under $100 delivered. I have several friends who have purchased one after seeing me use mine and learning what it offers. I have never had a problem with water proofness, batteries (nice feature of this unit is being able to use regular batteries) or any kind of electronic issue. It can be worn like a watch or around the arm outside outer clothes with the extension strap. Very convenient and versatile for active outdoor enthusiasts. It even allows me now to connect to the computer via a USB cable.

 		 This is my second Foretrex 101, brought it for a backup for my first Foretrex 101 in case it goes bad. It works great for hiking and geocaching. I did change the wrist band to a metal flexable band.

 		 I own 10 other GPS units and bought this one because it is the smallest, lightest and simplest of them all. Just the basics if that is all you need. I use it mostly for a speedometer on my Zero Electric Motorcycle, and also to log a Waypoint at the trailhead, turn it off to save batteries, and turn it back on if I need it to navigate back.

 		 I can't offer a true review of this product because I'm in Iraq and it's still in the States. I will say that GPS City made the purchase easy and shipped FAST! I bought this item to be used in Afghan when I go.
