User questions & answers

Question:	Can you switch the output to ten digit grid format
Answer:	Thanks for the question. To add to the great answer you already got, you could use the included clip to clip it to your hat, but you might find it a bit heavy if it's on your brim, for example. The Canmore Golf GPS attaches to the clip using a magnet, so it's possible to remove it when you're ready to check the yardage. Please let us know if you have further questions or comments at [email protected].
Question:	Does this provide both mgrs and lat/long
Answer:	Have used it 4x since I bought it. Don’t know the magnet you are referring to. So far it’s doing great. Takes a long time to recharge.
Question:	What is the onboard memory? And does it come with any topo maps
Answer:	Thanks for the great question. The H-300 comes with a charging cord only. We recommend using a computer or laptop USB port to charge the device (using the included cable), since the power output is better regulated (5 volts). Phone chargers such as an iPhone charger can also be used but be sure to use a high quality charger that only provides 5v — some inexpensive 'fast charger' models, especially car chargers, can sometimes exceed 5v and damage your H-300. Lastly, always unplug the charging cable at both ends after use. Addicidental contact with conductive surfaces may damage the cable or charging port. Please let us know if you have further questions or comments at [email protected]. (Note that Amazon may not notify us when you reply here, so please use the email option if possible!)
Question:	Would you recommend the Foretrex 601 for runners
Answer:	In my case for a full season up north. Had about 60 rounds on the current batteries. The current batteries still working. I carry an extra in my bag just in case.

OVERVIEW

Navigate the world hands-free with Foretrex 601 and Foretrex 701 with AB Elite software — the durable, wrist-mounted GPS navigators built to military standards. Keep your bearings nearly anywhere with GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite systems.

Tougher Than It Needs to Be

Foretrex 601 and 701 navigators are beyond durable. They’re built to military standards for thermal, shock and water performance (MIL-STD-810G). They also include tactical features such as compatibility with night vision goggles and Jumpmaster mode.

Multi-GNSS Navigation Includes Galileo

Both Foretrex 601 and 701 work with 3 satellite navigation reception networks, including GPS, GLONASS and Galileo, to track your position in more challenging environments than GPS alone. Explore longer — battery life exceeds 48 hours in navigation mode and lasts up to 1 week in UltraTrac mode.

Navigation Sensors Keep You on Track

To guide you on and off the beaten path, Foretrex 601 and 701 provide comprehensive navigation and tracking using GPS plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass) sensor capabilities. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearings, whether you’re moving or not.

The Most Accurate Ballistic Solver Available

Foretrex 701 with AB Elite software is an excellent aid for hunters and target shooters. It comes equipped with Applied Ballistics Elite software to calculate aiming solutions for long-range shooting.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it leather stap
Answer:	leather
Question:	In case I want to have a different color band, how can I look for it, and is it easily replaced in case I want to use a different band each day
Answer:	Search for "20mm band". That is the width of the original band due to the lug spacing of the watch. You *might* get away with an 18mm band but just stick with the original size so the band fills out the space between the watch lugs.Also pick up a "spring bar tool" to take off the old band.
Question:	The black case is plactic or metallic
Answer:	Heavy, solid metal - good watch for the money. Jack Lewis
Question:	Will a 16-20MM band with work with this watch? Looking to replace the band
Answer:	20mm will work for sure, the watch has 20mm lugs. I used a NATO strap with mine in this width.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it have Luminous light in the dark without using battery light
Answer:	The hands glow if they get enough light. There is a light,but it only illuminates the face and not the digital readout. It's been fine for the times I've needed to see what time it was in the dark.
Question:	Can the digital display be set for military time
Answer:	It's hard to see but just outside the 1 -12 is the military time. 1 is 13 , 6is 18. I believe when you set up the digital side you can set it for military. Hope this was helpful .
Question:	Does the bezel turn
Answer:	Yes the one I have turns in both directions.
Question:	How does one set the date/time/year ? The instructions are too difficult to follow and does not produce expected results
Answer:	Here's a bit of an orientation. Put your watch down on the table. Note there are four buttons; "A" at 8 O'Clock is for selecting the mode or sub-mode. "B" at 10:00 is the indiglo light; we won't need it. "C" at 2:00 is the change value button. "D" at 4:00 is the "set"/"accept settings" button. There are two digital times you can set on this watch; the regular time and the second timezone (labelled T2). Hit the "Mode" button (A) until time OR date you want to change is displayed (the watch can be set to display either the digital time OR the date). Now press and hold the set/accept button (D); you'll see the word "Hold" appear. Hold the button down until the world "Hold" disappears. You are now setting the time and everything you do will be interpreted that way until you hit the set/accept button again to save your input.Notice that the seconds value in the time is flashing. IF you want to change the seconds, hit the "change value" button (C) to set them to zero. You can use this to synchronize the digital time on the watch *exactly* to another clock with a second hand.Hit the mode button (A) and the hour will start flashing. Press the change value button (C) until the correct hour appears. Repeat this sequence (hit the mode button, hit the change value button until the value is right) until you come back around to flashing seconds. Hit the "set" button (D) to accept all the values you just selected.Your watch is now set. Here's a bonus set of instructions. It's kind of useless to display the digital time if its the same as the analog hands, but you can set the display to show the date and day instead. Here's how you do it. Hit the mode button until the current time appears. Press the "change value" (C) button briefly. Note that the watch beeps, then then shows the day and date for a few seconds, then returns to the time. Now press and HOLD the change value button. After a few seconds displaying the day and date it will beep and you can release it. The watch will now show the day and date instead of the digital time. Whatver your watch is showing (day/date or time), a brief press of "C" will show the other. You can use this to check that the digital time is correct (e.g. after daylight savings time kicks in) so the correct date will show before and after midnight.
