Suunto X9i GPS Watch
Just when you thought things couldn't get smaller, the Suunto x9i watch brings GPS to your wrist. The Suunto x9i is not much bigger than other watches, but comes packed with a GPS receiver that allows you to plug into a computer and download your trips. Some features include black or tan colors, an altimeter, barometer, 3D compass, chronograph and comprehensive GPS unit accurate to three feet. Did I mention it's compatible with National Geographic TOPO!
The Suunto X9i displays direction and remaining distance to waypoints, current speed, distance traveled and estimated time of arrival. The Suunto X9i also records waypoints and routes for uploading to TOPO! software, allowing users to log and analyze completed trips as well as store and organize an unlimited number of waypoints. Keeping hassle to a minimum, a USB cable serves double-duty as both data link and battery charger. The Suunto X9i retails for $499 and will be available fall 2005 at authorized Suunto dealers nationwide. The TOPO! State Series retails for $99.95 and is available by state. Current TOPO! users will be able to download updates to provide compatibility with the Suunto X9i.
Looks like another version of the future of GPS devices.
