might be of interest to some.....

Looks interesting, might be worth getting the Foretrex 701 as it

adds Applied Ballistics Elite software that calculates aiming solutions for long-range shooting

. never know when that'd come in handy.

It's not a looker is it...

Am I missing something? Aside from giving you a present location, what does it do that 'we'd' want?

A simple, inexpensive, likely robust, AAA powdered, accurate, compact GPS unit.
Can be bar mounted.

If I hadn't thought it wasn't of interest to the group I wouldn't have bothered.

Don't be like that ... it was a genuine question, sorry if it came across differently.

I know you've stated its features but what can I actually do with it? It doesn't look like it'd be much good for navigating with and it doesn't appear that you can add maps to it.

My apologies; the internet is not the best for reading context.

To be honest I haven't investigated too much other than looking at the Garmin page.
The price, robust nature, and ability to make use of three GPS systems (American, Russian, and European) made it look of interest.
I know the etrex is of interest due to its simplicity. This has the option for off the bike use.

Pandas, we need pandas. Haven't seen one for a while

I don't think it's required but any excuse.

Is that panda porn?

Someone will have to explain the pandas'

The posting of a 'panda pic' is a way of calming proceedings down a little should things on here become 'tense' - not required in this case but I don't think we've had one for a while and seeing as Ben asked nicely.

That panda does not appear to have an arse? or is it somewhere else

It's one of the reasons they find it so hard to make baby Pandas. A lack of the requisite bits.

Is no one else picturing a BearBomes thong on that thing

how about this for panda power, quite literally.
