March 29, 2011Bushnell Back-Track,
The Back-Track does what it says, holds 3 waypoints, with 3 icons, a house, a car, and a star, so if you were on a hike you can set your car or the house icon as the base, and use the other two as waypoints, so it’s not bad for day hikes. The unit has two buttons a mark/backlight button, and an on-off/waypoint button. You turn on by holding down the on/off button, then tap the on-off button to cycle through the waypoints. To mark say the car, just hold the mark button down and it clears it and sets it to 0yds. Once you start walking it shows how far in yards and then miles you’ve walked and the arrow points back to where you started. It turns off automatically in 10 minutes if you don’t touch any buttons, and when you turn it back on, resumes where you left off so your waypoints stay intact until your reset them. It does seem to acquire fast with the sirf-star chipset, it’s accurate as long as you keep the unit horizontal. Once it’s vertical the arrow tends to point downward, so sometimes if it’s tilted in your hand the arrow will move off true north or not exactly at your car, but as you walk closer it’s dead on. The blue backlight isn’t that strong but is clearly visible at night. All in all, it does what it says. It does lead you back to your car, house, campground, and the built in compass could help you on a hike. A built in clock with gps time would have been nice, maybe next version? Well worth 50 bucks though.

March 29, 2011Get to where you were,
This item is great for both the backwoods and shopping mall. I got it for my wife to find her car when she exits the mall… Yes, some of the parking lots are huge! The day that we received it, we went to a new park and brought the Backtrack along. By the time we got to the field that our grandson was at, we couldn’t see the parking lot, and there were 4 of them.
When the game was over, I pressed the automobile icon and followed the direction that the Backtrack pointed us to. It led us to within a few feet of the car!
It works great and is easy to use.
