![]() I needed something to retrieve my treestand, or my car in the dark in woods I'm not familiar with. They recommend to use it to retrieve your car in a wide parking lot, but it doesn't work inside, so screw level parkings. ![]() It's a toy, and not designed for outdoor activity. So just don't push any buttons until you can see the screen clearly. The button that says "where do you want to go to" is separate from the one that says "Record this point." If you got the unit upside down (which would be possible in low light) you might hit the wrong button by mistake. Other reviewers have written that it's easy to overwrite points. But if you have to orient yourself with relation to north, don't trust one measurement. If you are using it to hike in some general direction, and don't trust instantaneous readings (see above), no problem. Using it in compass mode is more of a problem. So if the "direction to go" indicator jumps around it doesn't really matter as long as it's generally correct. You just keep zeroing in on the location. Even in a large parking lot you have to go down lanes and sidewalks. When you are finding your car, or house, you generally cannot go in the "direction" anyway, you have to use a road or sidewalk and can only change direction at an intersection. When you are moving, the "direction to go" keeps jumping around, but generally in sort of the correct direction. ![]() Use it while moving (walking, or in a car) and "average" the results mentally.ĭiscussion: The direction to something (North, your car, your house, whatever) is often 45 degrees off. Summary: Good enough for its intended purchase, but don't trust "spot" readings. It's probably worth $30, but if I'd paid the $99 sticker price I'd be upset. – Dimensions (HxWxD): 3.54″ x 2.95″ x 0.I got my Backtrack on sale for $30, which seems to be a very good price. – Operates for over twenty (20) hours on two (2) AAA batteries (not included) – Self-calibrating digital compass always maintains an accurate heading – Store and locate up to three locations/destinations – 20% lighter than the Original BackTrack ![]() – Streamlined and updated version of Bushnell Original BackTrack – Newly re-designed GPS locator by Bushnell ![]() Use the Bushnell 360403 GPS Backtrack G2 to keep directions in your back pocket and keep track of all of your favorite hiking or camping spots without a map.
