Gekos are the smallest and lightest waterproof GPS units on the
market—inexpensive, with sleek designs and simple operating
systems.
With its sturdy, dark-gray case, the Geko 301 packs an amazing
amount of functions into its slim frame. It has all the features
of the Geko 201, plus an electronic
compass and a barometric altimeter. The compass provides bearing
information while you're standing still, and the
altimeter determines your precise altitude and provides a 12-hour
pressure-trend tool for gauging changing weather conditions.
The Geko 301 also includes five interactive games that transform
the great outdoors into a virtual board game, including the
new Gekoids, which takes advantage of the electronic
compass. You can also enjoy a good workout while chasing a
virtual lizard in Geko Smak, match symbols in a grid version
of Memory Race, navigate to reference points without crossing
one's trail in Nibbons, and collect symbols along
a path in Virtua Maze.
