Bushness GPS don't leave camp without it by Margret the Lady on opticsplanet.com Sep 17, 2011
This is an excellent little device for insurance when camping in new territory. It often takes a minute or two to get started and sometimes initial activation seems to be delayed when surrounded by tall trees. Once it is active for the day, it comes back ...
 
Backtrack useage by TLuther on walmart.com Jan 3, 2011
I purchased the backtrack to help me find my truck after a couple of hours walking in the woods. The woods I hunt aren't mountains, but they are full of gully after gully and you can get turned sround there really quick. I have a GPS from another manufacturer ...

It does exactly what real GPS technology does - by Mark M. Monteleone on amazon.com Nov 30, 2009
Real GPS technology is a large number of satellites 12,500 miles in orbit sending a very weak time signal for a computer processor to calculate the holders position in space. Most users don't know or understand that the receiver is not getting blasted ...

Very erratic by bill40205 on bestbuy.com Mar 21, 2012
Sometimes this device worked great; at other times it was completely wrong. The last time I used it before returning it for a refund, I was trying to return to my car. It told me to go in the opposite direction of the car, and even when I was sitting ...

Not a good compass by Lew on bhphotovideo.com Jul 31, 2010
Purchased for a compass but it didn't work well. The GPS only synched up in 1 of the 3 locations we tried it, the compass arrow only points north instead of the direction you are facing so you always have to use the degree indicator, and it is almost ...

World's best undependable GPS by rebel260 on walmart.com Jul 6, 2009
Pros? The interface is simple enough for anyone to pick up the unit and use it straight off. It's small enough to drop in a pocket. It not only points to your 3 stored destinations, but also acts as a compass.
 
Doesn't work for me by R. Morris "Anode" on amazon.com Nov 6, 2009
I bought this mainly to help find my car in parking lots and for trips abroad to help find my way back to the hotel. I tried it out first at a mall near home, one time when I was able to get a GPS lock. When I turned it back on after leaving the store, ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Bushnell Backtrack Gps And Digital Compass
This item is great for both the backwoods and shopping mall...So in conclusion I can say that it works pretty good when you are outdoors, but if you are inside of a vehicle or indoors, is not very reliable...I would recommend that anyone who purchases this device, retain the original packaging in case you need to return it...

Tech Toy of the Month: Bushnell Backtrack Personal Location Finder (Technology Bytes)
When I saw this gadget listed in a magazine, I knew instantly it would be the next Tech Toy of the Month...Basically, the Backtrack is a GPS device that can store up to three locations in its memory...For example, if you are camping, it would be very useful to store your base camp in the Backtrack so that you could find your way back if lost...The Backtrack only has a few buttons, is designed to only be a location finder, looks and works for the most part like a compass, and is small enough to keep in a pocket or purse...I can see that the Backtrack (or copycat devices that will undoubtedly be produced) will likely become a staple at camp sites, hiking trails, and hunting grounds...
