Q: My grand daughter is studying in Spain this semester. She is a cross country runner and I would like to know if she would be able to use it there. She has never been to Europe and it is very important she knows the maps of the areas she runs. Thank yo

A: The 401 will not show maps, what it will do is save way points, make a breadcrump path, give you a route if you upload one and show you your current location in coordinates. if she wants a GPS that will show her city and topographic maps of the surrounding area this is not the device for her. if she wants to track runs and be able to find her way back to her start point this will work perfectly.

Q: Could I use this for running to tell me distance ran?

A: Yes, this model tracks distance.

Q: Can I use this model for my snowmobile? If not, what model will stand up to cold weather??

A: Hello, The operating temperature range of the Foretrex 401 is from -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit(-20 to 60 degrees Celsius). Thanks Chris

Q: Does this unit have batteries or an internal rechargeable battery?

A: Hello, The foretrex 401 will need Triple A batteries for the unit to work. Thanks Chris

Q: Does this product (the GPS) work in the middle east?

A: Definitely yes. This particular model is very popular among deployed military. It does not have downloadable topo maps so you know where you are based on particular coordinates, waypoints, a preprogrammed route.
