FAQ
What is the Applied Ballistics software used for?
It calculates precise long-range shooting solutions based on ballistic profiles, environmental data and weapon parameters.
Can the Foretrex 901 operate without a smartphone?
Yes. All core navigation and ballistic functions work independently; a smartphone is only required for profile management and notifications.
What does stealth mode do?
Stealth mode disables wireless connectivity and stops storing or sharing GPS location data.
Is satellite communication included?
No. Satellite messaging requires pairing with a compatible Garmin inReach® device and an active subscription.
