Garmin Geko 201 and 301 Handheld Navigators Review

 

The Geko 201 and Geko 301, are simple, inexpensive, small, lightweight and waterproof (IPX7), WASS-enabled (10 feet / 3m accuracy) handled GPS trackers. They are not map based rather providing a means of keeping a log of your track and guiding you back...

Garmin Geko 201 Review

 

The Garmin Geko 201 GPS is one of the smallest, lightest weight handheld receivers available. A mere 2.3 ounces, this unit won't slow you down in the field. The primary differences between this and other Gekos is as follows — the 201 offers a data...

Perfect Fit

 

I wish I had this long ago, my old suction Sat Nav fell off the window & left horrible marks. This product moulds the contours of the dashboard, never moves, holds Sat Nav in perfect position & no marks.

GREAT VALUE

 

This is the only GPS that I have ever owned and I'm more than happy with it.

Small and light ; Waterproof ; Easy to use ; Battery life seems very good (although I only use it to check my position)

Buttons a bit small if I'm being really picky but then it's a small unit

GOOD CHECK NAV

 

Excellent bit of kit and well priced. Until I hear more about Satmap then this will be staying in my rucksack. As per the previous review I only use it to check grids in bad weather so battery life is not an issue.

Small, lightweight and easy to use

Not really a weakness but as it is so small so are the buttons. making it tricky with big gloves - not much of a problem in reality
