Comments about Bushnell Bushnell Backtrack, Personal GPS Location Finder, English Version with Measurement in Yards, Color: Gray / Orange:
I bought this as a backup navigation method for hikes. Should my compass fail or I lose my way, BackTrack it will point the way home. At the trail head I record my location with a press of a button, then turn it off and stow it in my pack.This is not suited as your primary navigation, but it does a good job pointing the way back.

Comments about Bushnell Bushnell Backtrack, Personal GPS Location Finder, English Version with Measurement in Yards, Color: Gray / Orange:
This does what it is designed to do, I have a rino with topo maps for serious wilderness in the Rockies, but for a hike in the state park or zoo this is great. I would recommend it based on this use.

Comments about Bushnell Bushnell Backtrack, Personal GPS Location Finder, English Version with Measurement in Yards, Color: Gray / Orange:
This thing is just junk. The compass is often 30 or more degrees off and the pointer which should point to the waypoint is generally 45 degees off. It jumps around so much it is unusuable. Save you money and get a better unit from a different manufacturer. Wish I had.

Comments about Bushnell Bushnell Backtrack, Personal GPS Location Finder, English Version with Measurement in Yards, Color: Gray / Orange:
We bought this because of the good ratings on this site but we should've looked on the web first. The actual unit we received is buggy and will not reliably point to the stored destinations. It is incapable of leading a walker back home. The compass is just as unreliable. We tried to contact Bushnell for help and finally gave up. We should've checked on the web first for THAT too. I will never buy another another Bushnell product.

Comments about Bushnell Bushnell Backtrack, Personal GPS Location Finder, English Version with Measurement in Yards, Color: Gray / Orange:
This was supposed to be an easy to use way for lost seniors to find their way back, and the Backtrack would be exactly what we needed if it worked reliably. It's easy to read and extremely simple to operate. The problem is that the directions it comes up with are completely unreliable because the poor quality receiver settles for even the most minimal satellite signals. The direction arrow swings wildly from moment to moment and rarely points in the true direction, sending the walker this way or that way or around in loops. Even sitting still, it has a hard time giving true directions. The included compass is just as unreliable. This product was a total waste of our time and money and trying to contact Bushnell about it soured us on buying any Bushnell products ever again.

I will use it more often because it is simple. You do not have to scroll through complicated menus to find what you want.

Comments about Bushnell Bushnell Backtrack, Personal GPS Location Finder, English Version with Measurement in Yards, Color: Gray / Orange:
I previously owned a Garmin GPS and, aside from being too large and comparitively heavy, found it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated. The Garmin simply had too many buttons and screens to keep track of, and using it was a convoluted hassle. By contrast, the Backtrack is small and light, and contains no superfluous features of dubious merit.
