Garmin FORETREX 201
The Foretrex 201 is a wearable Personal Navigator, perfect for outdoor and marine enthusiasts who desire hands-free GPS navigation in a lightweight, affordable package. At a mere 2.75 ounces, this waterproof wonder is lighter than most watches, and its wrist-top mount frees up hands for outdoor activities.


or so they say.
Any one seen or got one of them, I like the look of it but is it usable.
 
Everyone of these handheld GPS I have tried, has failed to work in the wheelhouse. (they work in the cockpit)Try it inside your boat before you buy it.
 
Yes, I've got the 101, which I used for the first time on my bike, yesterday. Not much good for boating, but for exercise exclnt for elapsed time, speed, distance, av speed , cals burned and archiving the data. Bit big for wrist, but fits on handlebars over a piece of foam pipe insulation. BTW, I think the diff between 201 and 101 is 101 can not be i/faced to PC and also does not have rechargeable batts. Therefore less expenseive - aro. $90 over here.
