The Garmin Geko 101 has five keys located on the front of the unit for easy one-hand use that allow the user to quickly access all of the unit's functions. The Geko 101 has a 64 x 100 pixel, high-contrast display for easy viewing, and it can run for up to 12 hours on only two AA batteries (not included).

Designed with the user in mind, this Garmin GPS unit weighs a light 3.1 ounces with batteries and measures a pocket-size 1.9 by 0.96 by 3.9 inches (W by D by H). The Geko 101 is waterproof to IPX7 standards, meaning it can be submerged down to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes, and is rugged enough to endure the most trying use. And the Geko 101 provides that most critical of benefits--peace of mind. With the Geko 201 you will always know where you are, where you have been, and where you are going. And since you will always know the way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do--explore the outdoors.

What is TracBack?
Garmin's exclusive TracBack feature allows you to return along a traveled path or route without marking any waypoints. The GPS unit will store a tracklog or "electronic breadcrumb trail" as you travel. When you are ready to return to where you started, the GPS unit will look at the hundreds or thousands of tracklog points, take the 30 most significant, and turn them into a route to lead you back to your starting point.

What is PanTrack?
Using the PanTrack feature, you can move the pointer and pan a track in either direction, then select a location along the track to start a TracBack or GoTo or to mark a waypoint.
