2.0 out of 5 stars Not Ready For Prime Time, September 14, 2008
By Steven E. Hollingworth "TooCoolGuy" (Hemet, CA United States) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Bushnell Backtrack is an interesting concept. An idiot simple dirt cheap GPS intended to do only one thing... Get you back to your starting point. If you're constantly losing your car in huge mall parking lots, then Bushnell thinks it has a solution. Simply set your Backtrack and go shopping. At the end of your day of mall bliss your Backtrack should lead you right back to your car. Does grandpa get lost on walks? The Backtrack hanging from his neck is designed to get him home. At least that's how it's supposed to work....

I'm a long time user of automotive GPS systems so out of curiosity I took a Backtrack device to the mall. Before I left my car I turned on the Backtrack and within five minutes it had located itself. To be fair it probably would have taken half that time outside my car but how many customers, especially seniors, will stand outside in the rain so their GPS can find satellites a bit faster? I set the location of my car by finding the car icon and holding the set button until it memorized the location, and then I went shopping.

While I was in the mall my Backtrack went into sleep mode. No big deal, and I just woke it up as I left the store and waited a couple of minutes for it to find satellites. GPS devices depend on movement to orient themselves, so if you turn on the Backtrack and don't move it will know roughly where it`s at but will have no clue what direction you're facing and the built in GPS "compass" will point pretty much at random. In this case it was in `find my car' mode and it had no clue what direction to go so I started walking. It took about 100 feet of walking at a good clip for it to get its bearings and point vaguely in the general direction of my car. If course if you stop to get your bearing and turn to look around then it won't know that it's now pointing the wrong way. And if you're moving too slow it might not even realize that it's moving and will remain lost. So I walked another 100 feet at a good clip to get another bearing, etc, etc, etc. It only took about three times longer to reach my car than it would have with dead reckoning. Somebody less tech savvy might have made an afternoon of the search if they depended solely on the Backtrack.

What I don't think the designers took into account are limitations of GPS technology, especially technology compatible with a $70 retail price. And the limitations of the people that will be looking to the Backtrack to find their car for them. At the technology end the processor and display are way too slow, and updates are so slow and jerky that I think many people will find themselves confused. The fact that you have to be moving at a good clip to help the Backtrack orient itself is also impractical especially for seniors. Grandma's Hoveround had better have a turbo! Bushnell should have incorporated a digital magnetic compass to keep the device oriented while stopped. As it is it's just going to confuse a big chunk of its target audience and leave them lost.

Where it may be useful is as a low cost way to help the older kids find their way back to a camp site, or help very tech savvy adults that are healthy enough to walk fast enough to keep the device oriented. But to do either of those it needs more complete directions. Such as directions explaining that you need to be moving and moving at a good clip.

As a side note the lanyard intended to keep it securely around grandma or grandpa's neck broke the instant I tried to use it for the first time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get to where you were, December 4, 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bushnell Backtrack----thumbs up !, January 9, 2009
By Ernie "Ernie" (Bel Air , MD. USA) - See all my reviews
The Bushnell Backtrack is a must have for the hiker or hunter. Very simple to use and gets you back to your starting point very easily. Just mark it and forget it until needed. MUCH easier to use then the conventional GPS.
