Garmin Foretrex Once upon a time, the capabilities of GPS navigators were limited to a single function - indicating the user's location on a digital map.

Today, this is clearly not enough, so the list of functions offered by developers is constantly being updated.

Garmin - Foretrex 801 and 901 Ballistic Edition GPS devices are primarily aimed at special forces snipers who are armed with high—precision and long-range rifles and who need to perform complex ballistic calculations.

Garmin Foretrex Powered by AAA batteries, devices in tracking mode can continuously work up to 100 hours, and in silence mode — up to 1000 hours.

The electronic filling is represented by a three-axis accelerator and compass, a barometric altimeter, as well as electronic receivers of signals from satellite groupings. The information display is provided by a monochrome 2.2-inch display with clear calibration. Readings can also be read in the dark using night vision goggles. The devices are paired with compatible smartphones and inReach devices manufactured by the same Garmin, which makes it possible to send SOS signals.

Garmin Foretrex To help snipers, there is an AB Synapse applied ballistics calculator, which, after analyzing the bullet speed, wind and trajectory estimation, allows you to make the most accurate shot.

An important know-how of Foretrex is the functions of secrecy and emergency data destruction. In stealth mode, the device captures only information about the distance, but not about the location of the sniper, even if it is loaded. In this case, even if the device ends up in the hands of the enemy, he will not learn any valuable information.
