I have not been able to test this product because it failed out of the box which is upsetting. But Bushnell is trying to take care of that for me. My problem here is the vendor I purchased it from through Amazon. I contacted them when it did not work and was told that I had to deal with Bushnell not them. They would not take it back without a report number from Bushnell. I will never buy from them again and I'm considering not using Amazon during my Christmas online shopping.

My husband wanted a GPS he could use in the canoe. Most GPS don't have the right info for use on a river because it can be challenging to know which joining branch is the branch you need to get back to the car. The Bushnell Backtrack is perfect. Simple and easy to use. He's loving it.

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, it could not get a lock. So it was useless. On the rare occasion it did get a lock, the display was arbitrary and not very accurate. In Europe, it never acquired a GPS signal so it was useless there as well. I don't know if my particular unit is defective or if I just happened to be in areas with limited GPS availability, but our car GPS and my phone GPS both work flawlessly everywhere. So for me, this was a total waste of money.
It is a great concept, and maybe if they spent a bit more to improve it's sensitivity, although it would be a bit more expensive, I'd rather pay more for something that works than pay less for a paperweight. I would recommend that anyone who purchases this device, retain the original packaging in case you need to return it.

Ordered this gps early for a trip and failed right out of the box. Purchased from Amazon marketplace thru Ace digital photo. Since it was over 14 days, I had to contact Bushnell and pay for return shipping to repair. Unable to
reach bushnell for 2 days and 4 times each attempt (recording kept saying "hi volume of calls")...no help at all.
Lesson learned: never buy things early and never from Amazon again if this doesn't get resolved.

The backtracker is a very relieable gps. You need to trust it. I really think it is worth the money. One thing I don't like is the cover on the back. It needs some attention. comes off when you don't want it to,and when you want it off you can't get it off.
