eikehohenadl 0 #1 November 15, 2007 Garmin Wrist Mount GPS - 205 Do you have any experience, or do you know anyone who knows how well the Garmin wristmounted GPS - 205 works with wing-suit flying. Any information would be appreciated. Let me know at [email protected]QuoteLove to jump in exotic places with interesting people from all nationalities Favorite jump aircraft: C-130. Skydivers are the best people IN THE WORLD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites airtwardo 6 #2 November 15, 2007 Do you have any experience... Quote I have a 201 that works okay in freefall (tracking dives), haven't tried it with a wingsuit. My wife has a 205 she just bought 2 weeks ago for running, it's a MUCH better unit than the 201, quicker signal acquisition and seems to be more accurate....I'll have to wait until she gets tired of it before I get to play! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites LouDiamond 1 #3 November 15, 2007 Eike, check out my replies in this thread for information on the receiver you are asking about."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites airtwardo 6 #4 November 15, 2007 Thanks Scott...I just learned a WHOLE lot about my 201 ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Chris-Ottawa 0 #5 November 15, 2007 Hey, Check out the Garmin H series. I have read a bunch of reviews of people keeping signal indoors. The units are tiny and I believe you can get a wrist strap for them. They are barely larger than the 105, 201's etc... I "HAD" a Garmin eTrex Legend, up until this weekend when it decided to jump from my jacket in freefall. I should have secured it better...my bad. More excuse for me to buy this one: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=145&pID=8703 Check out the reviews, apparently it is a very impressive antenna. Later"When once you have tasted flight..."

If you want to have a logger only. WBT-201 is one of the best. Small and sensitive with right enough battery for a whole day.
