[QUOTE="DocUSMCRetired, post: 1325779, member: 85458"] Garmin® Foretrex® 701 Environmental Data: The GF701 includes onboard sensors for environmental information when calculating ballistic firing solutions, and includes the capability to connect to external sensors that use the Garmin ANT+ network. Note that each of the following parameters can be adjusted manually in the appropriate menu. [img]https://s6.postimg.org/iuf19o481/20170707_181632.jpg[/img] Ambient Pressure (Station Pressure) - The GF701 has on board pressure sensors. Specifically, it measures Station Pressure, which is used as part of the Environment inputs when calculating a firing solution. [img]https://s6.postimg.org/hj7a178m9/20170707_181707.jpg[/img] Temperature (optional external sensor) - The GF701 can connect with devices inside the ANT+ network. One of those devices is the Tempe sensor which reports temperature. The Tempe can run for over 1 year on a single battery, and is small enough to clip on the watch band or belt loop without being obtrusive. * [img]https://s6.postimg.org/e9suuqkip/20170707_181658.jpg[/img] Latitude - The GF701 uses its onboard GPS system to populate the Latitude as part of the Environment inputs.
