Just as we promised the Garmin Foretrex 401 has been made official by the company today. And just like we talked about Garmin did mention the military personnel as one of their target markets.
Long story short, Foretrex 401 is a lightweight GPS recevier/navigator designed to be comfortably worn on your wrist. Device comes with a highly sensitive GPS receiver, keeps track of where you’ve been by using bread crumbs so you can always get back to your camp site or vehicle or whatever. It also includes a trip computer, sunrise sunset hunting and fishing information, electronic compass and even a barometric altimeter.
It works on 2 AAA batteries which should last up to 17 hours.
Press release does not mention the price but we suspect it’ll be around $250.
UPDATE: Foretrex 401 is now up on Garmin’s site. Suggested retail price is $249.99.
