| Subject: | Garmin Foretrex 101 -- great cheap GPS |
I hesitate to post this to these sophisticated lists, but I can't resist!
Last week I bought a Garmin Foretrex 101 GPS at ALDI (a grocery store) for
$59.95. It will operate about 15 hours on two AAA batteries and weighs about 3
ounces, and has a 12 channel receiver with WAAS. It has NEMA out which means
it could conceivably send data to an autopilot -- I don't have the serial
cable to try this yet.
Yesterday I tried it out in my RV-7A on a 50 mile trip. Wow! It worked
perfectly. You have to program the airports manually out of the Airport
Directory, but you can assign an airplane icon and name them with the identifiers,
etc.
It will hold up to 500 waypoints. You can set the units to NAUTICAL for
speed and distance. It may be possible to download a data base from a PC since
it has the serial interface.
This is an amazing little GPS.

There is a cluster of 4 passives, a diode, capacitor, ? and ? located just
behind the on/off switch on the board. Anyone out there have access to a schematic
or and old unit to help me determine what they are. They will be easy
to replace and repair the unit.

Den,
Yep, I wouldn't lie! They said it was a special purchase. Our local stores
are sold out now, but hopefully someone will find a store that still has some.
ALDI does not list telephone numbers. In the store, just ask for GPS. The
Foretrex 101 is the only one they have had that I know of.
The Foretrex 201 is a better model (more expensive). It is very similar but
with rechargeable battery and a serial cable included. I haven't seen it but
the manuals that you can download from the Garmin sight are almost identical.
do not archive
