Wrist GPS
August 29th, 2003
The Garmin Forerunner 201 just made it to the top of my Christmas list. I’ve been in the market for an inexpensive GPS receiver for a while now, looking for something durable and ultraportable that will talk to my Zaurus. Though I may still need to do a little fiddling to get them to talk, this looks to be it.
No, I won’t be running any time soon. But I do want to track how much I’m walking. I also want this to automatically geocode the blog entries I make on the Zaurus, and provide (when in wireless range) an indication of whether I am at home or school. On the road may be a bit more fussy.
Update: Assuming there are drivers for the Zaurus, an SD GPS system is another possibility. These things are getting tiny.
