Now runners
can have a virtual personal trainer, thanks to the Garmin
Forerunner 201
The Garmin Forerunner 201 is aimed squarely at the fitness
training market, with its’ compact size, wristwatch style strap
and range of pacing and stopwatch options. Of course, coming
from a range of products that are produced by one of the leading
GPS manufacturers, the Garmin Forerunner 201 stands tall above
the competition because, unlike a regular stopwatch, it contains
a GPS navigation system.
This means that, not only can the Garmin Forerunner 201 know
exactly how long you have been exercising, it can also tell you
exactly how fast and far you have traveled. This gives it a
unique ability over other systems, as it can be aware of whether
you are behind or ahead of a pace keeping virtual runner.
Naturally, the Garmin Forerunner 201 system also comes with the
usual bells and whistles that can be expected from a fully
fledged stopwatch and timing system, such as calories burned,
lap times, distance and splits, pace and distance whistles, as
well as the unique features offered by a GPS.
Using the built-in serial connection, the Garmin Forerunner 201
can also exchange data with your PC, which means that not only
can you generate a set of waypoints which determine your
performance after the fact, you can also look up specific
locations that you have marked whilst out running on an
electronic map.
The technology that drives the Garmin Forerunner also includes a
function to enable you to accurately retrace your steps so that
you can perform the reverse workout, to arrive back at your
starting point.
