My new paperweight.

by  etim ,  Aug 16, 2003
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Size, WAAS capability
Cons: Power switch that randomly turns unit under normal use
The Bottom Line: If the power button problem can be resolved, this could be an excellent product. But as is, I find it to be unreliable and best left behind.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: The primary problem with the Geko 201 is the overly sensitive power button, which randomly turns the unit on with the slightest jostling -- whether it's being carried in a shirt pocket, a pants cargo pocket, or even in a hardshell ballistic nylon...

Very Usable GPS especially when weight matters

by  tradesmith45 ,  Oct 20, 2004
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Lightest handheld GPS, easy to learn, the essential features, love the trip computer screen
Cons: Short battery life especially w/ NiMh, expensive accessories
The Bottom Line: Buy the Foretrex 101 for the same features & longer battery life unless you can get a good buy on ebay for a used Geko.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I ve used this a lot for hiking, XC skiing, backpacking, kayaking, driving & bicycling. It has worked well even in moderately dense NW forests. When combined with mapping software, it makes all sorts of route finding much easier. Logging information...

Has a fatal design with the power switch

by  rickrmn ,  Dec 16, 2003
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Tiny, easy to carry
Cons: Power button design is poor and unit will turn on and drain batteries.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: This would be a good GPS for geocaching except that it has a fatal design/firmware problem with the power switch.

If you carry this in your coat or pants pocket, its a sure thing that the unit will power up all by itself, drain the...
