April 3, 2011Watch the calibration video before use,
The big brown truck brought me a new Bushnell Backtrack Point>5 GPS Friday afternoon. It locks up (finds its location) fast, has a simple interface, and useful data screens. I was horrified with the accuracy of the built in digital compass. After carefully following the calibration instructions several times I pretty much decided the thing was worthless for getting a reasonably accurate vector back to a stored point or a usable bearing on a landmark. Next I went to the web site and looked at the online manual, which was just a copy of minimalist 9 page brochure which came with the unit. I had just about decided to send the thing back when I stumbled onto Bushnell’s “BackTrack Digital Compass Calibration Tips” video. By combining all three techniques demonstrated in the video I was able to get useful accuracy from the compass / trackback arrow. I haven’t sat on or dropped my unit yet so I can’t say how robust this thing is going to turn out to be, but for the time being I plan to leave my older/larger/heavier GPS in the truck and use the BackTrack to find my way around in the field.

April 3, 2011First experience with Bushnell BackTrack 5 points,
I just received and tested the Bushnell BackTrack 5 points.
Very easy to configure and to use. Really satisfied with it.
Why not 5 stars ?
Just due to the fact that the power turns off automatically after 5 minutes.
So if you’re using your BackTrack and you’re more than 5 minutes away from the destination you would like to go back, you’ve always to press a key within 5 minutes or the BackTrack will turn off.
In my opinion the turn off time should also be part of the basic configuration like time,temperature,distance,etc.
