Thames Garmin Foretrex 701 Ballistic Edition, GPS, WW

I've been using of Garmin devices since 1989, when their first aviation GPS I had was called ProNav (but they had to change the name to Garmin) Since then, anything GPS has been a Garmin device, in my aircraft, car, golf and watches with or without GPS. That's my 'bone fides' To the Foretrex. Make no mistake, it is a very clever device for the long range shooter BUT the serious shooter will want to input custom data and that can only be done directly on the device one entry at a time, up and down menu options. There is no software either for a PC or Smartphone, that presents you with a 21st Century GUI where you can enter your data, REVIEW your data (even run a simulation for a sanity check, remember GIGO!) and then upload to the Foretrex. Gramin want's you to link al your devices through their Garmin Connect, either on a Computer or Smartphone but the main priority seems to be Fitness and tracking your fitness, no matter what device you have. You can't use Connect to enter data relevant to Ballistics. Come on Garmin, catch up and give users a Computer and Smartphone GUI interface suited to wearables with complex variables. I feel so strongly about this issue, I felt like giving it 2 stars overall but it does not deserve 5 stars just because it's a one of a kind wearable device.

Sé desvía unos milímetros. Al hacer los cálculos a la antigua ausanza sale mejor.como digo, se desvía unos milímetro del blanco. Pero estoy contento con ello. Veo un grán fallo en la poca batería en modo GPS ,por lo demás ok.

Balistics

Lasted through eight deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. These are built like a tank with easy to find batteries for replacement. Last forever, great Ballistics. Battery lasts a long time. It would benefit from an easier way to upload ballistic data sheets for what you're shooting. GPS is excellent.

Hab das Teil vorwiegend wegen das Ballistikrechners. Der ist gewohnt gut von Applied B. und die Anzeige ist hervorragend und übersichtlich. Die anderen Funktionen des Foretrex nutze ich nicht so oft. Der Drucksensor zeigt immer 1 bis 2 hPa zu wenig an - das hatte ich jetzt bei allen Garmin-Geräten. Der Tempsensor funktioniert gut (Zukaufteil). Die Beleuchtung ist ebenfalls sehr gut und das Display ist sehr scharf.

Hadn't had the chance to try it out fully out field, was happy with the 601, swapped that for this as I needed a ballistics calculator.
