GARMIN Forerunner 101

Small wrist top GPS receiver with easy to read display.

As a personal training assistant, the GARMIN Forerunner 101 records the travelled path (track), distance, time and pace/speed, computes the calories burned and helps to achieve your personal workout goals. The device is very easy to use, supports multiple languages and has an extremely sensitive antenna. It is the perfect partner for any outdoor activities.

The Forerunner 101 is especially well suited to provide information about your outdoor activities (track, speed, maximum speed, distance, elevation profile, time a.s.o.). Use the function "mark waypoint" to get the coordinates of the current location. The device also shows the current location in relation to user defined waypoints.

  • Stop watch with split times (laps). Record split times either manually by pressing the "lap" key or automatically based on a user defined distance.

  • Distance alert: Goes off after you have travelled a user defined distance. The alert can be set to go off only once or repetitive.
  • Time alert Goes off after a user defined time period. The alert can be set to go off only once or repetitive.
  • Virtual Partner: This unique feature helps you to achieve certain goals for your workout. Choose one of the following combinations:

    3. Distance & Pace / Speed: Set the distance and the pace / speed for your workout.
    The virtual partner will keep exactly the pace / speed required to achieve the goal you have set.

It will ask you to speed up or slow down as needed and it shows on the display whether you are ahead or behind your virtual partner.
