I replaced a bigger, older, heavier Garmin GPS with this one for hiking - works great, and it's easy to carry and use.

I would add only one caveat - the serial port is covered by a thin rubber protector - and the second time I was...

I purchased the garmin geko 201 to use with my Nikon for geopositioning photos. It works nicely for this, but i feel that some of the features aren't intuitive. It is very simple and no frills. So, for basic information it's excellent.

From: Circuit City Reviewed by: Shadow Location: Danielson, CT Posted: Jul 05, 2007 Type: User Review Unobtrusive and can be a life-saver!

It isn't exactly intuitive, but if you spend a little time with the manual and play with it a bit before you really put it to the test (don't get lost and then try to figure it out!), it is a very simple and accurate device. I use it hiking and moun

From: Amazon Posted: May 12, 2007 Type: User Review Geocaching and Garmin Geko 201 Handheld GPS

I ordered the Garmin Geko a month ago for my family, hoping to get them involved in Geocaching. I chose the Geko because it also has games that involve running around a field, like a video game involving exercise and the outdoors!

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 02, 2007 Type: User Review The Little GSP That Could

This small, very green, GPS device works quite well for the casual user. I use mine for Geotagging photo's and for safety purposes on hikes and near shore kayak trips.

The unit is easy to use with a fairly self explanatory user...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 17, 2006 Type: User Review Garmin Geko 201: great for exercise and learning about GPS

I bought a class set of these for a teacher workshop mostly because they were inexpensive. But I stepped up from the basic Geko 101 which does not include PC data exchange. The Geko series is the smallest and lightest GPS receiver I have seen that...

Here's my recommendation in case you don't want to read the whole review: If you don't want or need extra functions, this is a capable basic GPS unit. And it is small enough there is no excuse to not bring it. Just remember to store you car's...
