Key Features of the Garmin Foretrex 901 Ballistic
Multi-Band GNSS for Superior Accuracy
The Foretrex 901 Ballistic uses multi-band GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) to deliver superior positional accuracy even in challenging environments such as dense forests, steep canyons, and urban areas. Multi-band reception simultaneously processes signals on multiple frequencies, dramatically reducing multipath errors.
Applied Ballistics® Calculator
Integrated Applied Ballistics® Elite software provides accurate long-range firing solutions. Pair wirelessly with the AB Synapse™ Garmin app on a compatible smartphone to manage multiple ballistic profiles, import custom drag curves, and achieve the perfect shot placement at any distance.
Advanced Navigation Sensors
Navigate confidently with a full suite of built-in sensors: 3-axis accelerometer, electronic compass, and barometric altimeter. The Foretrex 901 Ballistic delivers accurate heading, elevation, and movement data without relying solely on GPS signal.
Tactical Functions: Stealth Mode, Kill Switch, Jumpmaster
Designed for covert operations, the Foretrex 901 Ballistic features Stealth Mode to suspend GPS data recording and disable wireless connectivity, keeping your position confidential. The Kill Switch instantly wipes the device memory in an emergency. The Jumpmaster mode calculates high-altitude parachute release points (HARP/HALO/HAHO) following military doctrine.
Extreme Durability — MIL-STD-810 & IPX7
Built to withstand sand, dust, vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, altitude, and humidity, the Foretrex 901 Ballistic is tested to MIL-STD-810 military standards and rated IPX7 waterproof (submersible to 1 metre for 30 minutes). It performs flawlessly from arctic cold to desert heat.
Exceptional Battery Life
Powered by 2 standard AAA batteries (not included), the Foretrex 901 Ballistic offers up to 100 hours in Navigation mode or up to 1,000 hours in Expedition mode, ensuring you are never left without navigation during extended missions or expeditions.
Connectivity: inReach®, Smart Notifications & Garmin Explore™
Pair with a compatible smartphone to receive Smart Notifications directly on the wrist display. Connect with a compatible inReach® satellite communicator to exchange messages in areas beyond cellular coverage. Plan and sync routes, waypoints, and tracks using the Garmin Explore™ app.
Monochrome Display — Easy to Read in Any Light
The high-contrast monochrome display remains legible in direct sunlight and extreme lighting conditions, making it the ideal navigation tool for professionals operating day and night.
