            Product Description

            The economical Foretrex 101 is the wrist-mount GPS that frees up your hands so you can focus on your outdoor activities. This product joins the Foretrex 201 in Garmin's growing line of wearable, wrist navigation devices. The Foretrex 101 has all the features and functionality of the Foretrex 201, including PC interface capabilities for downloading waypoints, tracks and routes, but operates on two AAA batteries.It's easy-to-use interface and basic GPS capabilities are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who would rather replace the batteries than recharge the unit in the field. This unit features Garmin's intuitive operating logic, utilizing six dedicated buttons to simplify navigation. Whether it's a campsite, deer stand, or other place of interest, users can mark its location, identify the waypoint, and navigate to it later using the GoTo function. Also, with the help of Garmin's exclusive TracBack technology, users can retrace their steps by following an electronic breadcrumb trail back to their original starting point.Because the unit is waterproof, the Foretrex 101 is a natural companion on watersport adventures like kayaking, canoeing, boating and sailing. In fact, this device incorporates another feature found on the Foretrex 201: a sailboat-racing timer. Competitors can configure the countdown sequence prior to the start of the race and utilize their GPS location to be in the best possible tacking position when the race begins.

            Amazon.com Product Description

            The Garmin Foretrex 101 wrist-mounted GPS is designed for outdoor, marine, and general enthusiasts who want hands-free navigation in a lightweight, affordable package. At a mere 2.6 ounces, the waterproof device is lighter than most watches, and its wrist-top mount ensures that your hands are unencumbered while you're hiking, mountain biking, or rafting (it even comes with a bike mount for off-road riders). In addition, the user-friendly interface helps make navigation easy, with six dedicated buttons--GoTo, Page, Enter/Mark, Up, Down, and Power--keeping things simple so you don't have to spend more time than necessary plotting your course. Among its essential navigation properties are enhanced GPS accuracy, extensive storage for waypoints, and reversible routes and tracks, all on an easy-to-read display. Powering the unit is straightforward as well: all it takes is a pair of AAA batteries. This makes it a great fit for users who would rather replace the batteries than recharge the unit in the field. Folks in the other group should opt for the Foretrex 201 as an alternative.

            Because the Foretrex 101 is waterproof, it's a natural companion for water sport adventures such as kayaking, canoeing, boating, and sailing. The device even incorporates a sailboat racing timer that lets competitors configure the countdown sequence prior to the start of a race while positioning themselves with the GPS for the best possible tacking location. The countdown is displayed in a large-number format that audibly alerts the user at each phase of the start sequence. Hikers and bikers will also delight in the unit thanks to its TracBack technology, which lets you mark a campsite, go trekking or biking all day, and then follow the electronic "breadcrumb trail" back to camp in time for dinner.

            Technical features include 500 waypoints with graphic ID, 20 reversible routes, 10,000 trackpoints, and accuracy to within 15 meters or less in normal GPS mode (3 meters or less when WAAS-enabled). The Foretrex 101 measures 3.3 by 1.7 by 0.9 inches (W x H x D) and includes a one-year warranty.

            What's in the Box
            Foretrex 101, wrist strap, bike mount, expandable strap, quick-start guide, user's manual.

            5 out of 5 stars First Rate Product!!.......2005-09-12

            I borrowed a friend's Foretrex 201 on a vacation and was immediately impressed with the ease of use and flexibility in being able to customize the unit to your particular needs. I immediately bought one when I returned!! I preferred the 101 over the 201 due to the fact that since I was camping, recharging was an issue. It is certainly easy enough to carry a few spare AAA's with you.

            I customized the screens for my extensive road biking, saved tracks for a variety of trips, especially in areas I am not familiar with, and am able to track my performance with more ease and reliablity than with my hard wired bike tripometer.

            The only thing I would have liked to have seen, minor as this is, is multiple odometers as I want to separate my biking miles from my hiking miles.

            So as an owner of a Streetpilot III for some years now, I was already a Garmin fan and I would highly recommend the Foretrex and other Garmin products, they are all first rate.

            2 out of 5 stars Epson is nice but won't last long.......2007-09-19

            I got this scanner for Christmas last year. It was refurbished and only cost $80. Besides the price, I liked the negative feeder feature- a strip of 6 35mm negs can be fed in and the little motor whirrs and pulls in the strip to do one at a time. Pretty slick- Look Ma, no hands! I set it up and began scanning with no problem. Then, after 4 months and 500 6 frame film strips, the feeder belts began to slip. The clicking sound was the tip off and scans 3 through 6 came out chopped up. As other reviewers have said, EPSON IS NO HELP. I finally located a parts store, but the they only sold the whole lid for over $100.
            Also, as other reviewers have said- Epsons are cheaply built.
            On my own, I found that there is a user adjustable mechanism to re-tension the belts. I've taken it to it's max setting, then past that with masking tape spacers.
            I am upset that Epson doesn't allow an obviously wear prone part to be sold. The belts stretch, duh!
            I guess they want me to buy another, double-duh!
            I am satisfied with the quality of the scans and the ease of software, although I wish it allowed .RAW files to be created.
            Recommendation- get a better scanner to start out, if you can afford it.

            2 out of 5 stars I'm underwhelmed with the Epson 2580.......2005-12-29

            I run a graphics studio, and use a scanner several times a day for photos, printed material, even small items such as jewelry that require some depth of field from the scanner. Because we have so much dedicated software that runs native in OS9, we're holding out on the Big Upgrade to OSX as long as we can. Last year I researched a new scanner to buy while we still had a choice of OS9 driver scanners, finally selecting an HP Scanjet 4400c. This was a joy to use, with friendly software, all the options we required, and good scans. Then it started producing banded images, and to make a long story short, this is a defect of some HP scanners, there is no fix, and HP goes out of its way not to help. So here we were in Dec 2005, frantically looking for a new scanner with Mac OS9 drivers.

            After asking around amongst my contacts in the graphics and design community, the consensus was that Canon has nice scanners and provides the best software, and that Epson has the worst software, although their scanners are fine. The Canon LiDE 20, 30, or 50 all ran in OS9 , but no store had any stock; they'd been cleaned out months back. All the recent Canons (LiDE 25, 35, 60) only ran under OSX. grrr. Finally, and getting desperate, I tracked down an Epson Perfection 2580 (basically a repackaged 2480), which comes with OS9 drivers, and bought it on the spot, which happened to be Nanaimo BC.

            After installing the software and removing enough packing material to insulate a doghouse, I fired it up using the Epson Smart Panel software, and was able to eventually save an image file to a folder on the desktop. Gone is the useful ability I had with the HP to Import directly into Photoshop (I've trolled the net for hours trying to locate an Epson 2480/2580 Photoshop Import plug-in; I might add that I was astonished to find NO reference to Photoshop on Epson's site - did they have a falling-out with Adobe perhaps?). SO I have to save a scan to the Epson desktop folder, and then open that file from within Photoshop, which is tedious and time-wasting. I've also tried just running Epson Scan (which is supposed to simply produce a bare-bones scan), but can't find any way to set resolution, adjust viewing area, change the scan type and so on with this method. The same applies to the "Professional Mode" of the Epson Smart Panel software, although I CAN make some of these adjustments in "Automatic Mode".

            What can I say? This software really IS awful, and I'd love to have half an hour alone with whoever designed or approved it, to point this out. It's too bad that Seiko/Epson makes a mechanically decent device, and then cripples users with clumsy, ill-conceived software.

            Eventually we'll be forced to upgrade, at which point we'll probably abandon Apple (the Mac OS experience bears little resemblance to its once friendly and open architecture), giving us a wide range of options in software and hardware, and another opportunity to try a Canon scanner.

            Bottom line? Nice-looking scans (eventually) of color photos and grayscale images, nice package, front buttons are recessed enough so they're not being accidentally pressed (like the protruding HP buttons) and launching unwanted software, and all the required cables and attachments are included (incredibly, some scanner makers still don't include everything needed to use all the features). The OCR software is a demo, but most bundled software is diluted these days. On the down side, this is a real screecher (the HP was almost silent by comparison) - everyone in the office knows when I'm making a scan! But the real hassle, is NOT having a Photoshop Import plug-in (what were they thinking???), and this tortuous software that takes most of the fun out of scanning. An import plug-in might at least by-pass some of these obstacles. I haven't had a chance to try scanning any 3D objects on the scanner glass so I can't comment on the depth of field this scanner offers. I'll have to gird my loins and face the Epson Smart Panel again I guess...

            4 out of 5 stars What a Great Scanner.......2005-12-28

            I was scanning in 35mm with my HP 5530 which HP so notabable disctontinued 2 weeks after my purchase. Worked great until I ran across a project with my Aunt who handed me well over 2000+ negatives. It wasn't something I really wanted to do, but 30+ years of negatives was exciting. Some big memories have emerged.

            After a few nights of messing around with the HP and trying to locate an additional plastic mount the last few months and finding out I couldn't even purchase it from HP, well, I knew this little project was going to take me a "very long time".

            I ran across the Epson here on Amazon and Santa got it for me for Christmas. I have to admit, this low profile scanner with the 35mm feed is really "cool". And it gets almost every picture perfect!!!! The autofeed and software are great. Then again, I use JASC Paint Shop Pro to flip and rotate as needed. I'll scan in 4 pictures, reload the scanner with another set of 35mm film, start scanning, hit update thumbnails in JASC, and correct the pic's while the next batch is scanning.

            I am almost on picture 500 tonight!!!

            Only problem I encountered was a piece of tape got caught in the transfer mech that was attached to the film from the lab but I was able to get it cleaned out and I was back on my way.

            I had no problems installing the software or hardware. Make sure you read the instructions and you should have no problems.

            GREAT PRODECT EPSON...I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM YOU.

            You have a new fan.

            I just wanted to write an update on my review that I did on December 27.

            I have scanned over 2000+ pictures from 35mm film and this thing just keeps on clicking along.

            Tricks I learned are to keep the glass cleaned. Use Sparkle!! Spray it on a piece of soft paper towel to clean the glass of dust.

            I mentioned before that I used the HP 5530. That scanner is really nice but the software was horrible. I rescanned all of my girlfriends Alaska pictures with the Epson and re-posted them on my website.

            To see the quality of this scanner, visit www.davevogt.net, look at Buzz's page, her Alaska pictures and you can see the results of the 35mm scans.

            GREAT JOB EPSON!!!!


            4 out of 5 stars Great scanner for the price.......2005-08-22

            I have had this scanner for eight months and have had no problems. The soft ware was easy to install and is very user friendly. This is my fourth scanner in nine years and I find I like it the best of them all. The first two broke down immediately after the warranties were up and would cost more to fix than replace. That is saying something because one was over $300. The third was good, but not like this one. I really like being able to do more with the pictures than crop or remove redeye. It is so easy to resize them and have them remain clear. If you are scanning for personal use, this is a good choice and I highly recommend it.

            2 out of 5 stars Wasted hours.......2005-06-15

            I bought this scanner with the intention of scanning in all my daughter's wedding negatives. After investing at least five hours muddling around with the inept software that came with the scanner, I finally figured out the non-intuitive method required to save settings and repeat the process of scanning negative strips.

            Long story short, after spending dozens of hours more scanning in negatives, I realized every image had a reddish cast to it. Dozens more hours were spent performing color balancing with Adobe Photoshop Elements. As an experiment, I tried scanning in a couple of proof prints and compared those images to the same images scanned from negatives. The proof images were clear and beautifully color balanced, as opposed to the negative images, in which everyone appeared to have a sunburn.

            So the moral of the story is this: don't assume images scanned from negatives (at least with this machine) are necessarily superior to print-scanned images. That mistake cost me hundreds of wasted hours. I don't know if the problem was in the negatives themselves (the printed proofs are just fine), or the negative scanner on this machine. But I am extremely disappointed with the results.
