Bushnell BackTrack Mini GPS Navigation, Portable Waterproof GPS for Hiking Hunting and Backpacking

Returned two that didn't work. Lots of button pushing just to get it to record a track, then lots of button pushing to download a track.

DO NOT BUY THIS BUSHNELL PRODUCT unless you are in the market for some serious frustration. All the hype about their Bushnell Connect app they spout, it's so incomplete that you can't even get past the "unexpected error" message trying to set up an account. Without access to the app the device is left to work on its own without any help from your smartphone. I regret buying it as well as the case accessory. Based on looks fine, based on standalone use hardly workable, based on the Bushnell Connect app worthless. I am totally disappointed in Bushnell not caring enough to deliver a complete and user-friendly app to support their device. Not easy to use. App does not function.

Compact, versatile, accurate, fast-charging... So what's not to like?The device comes well packaged with a little not very informative Quickstart Guide. After a couple of days I noticed , in tiny print at the end of the back of the only instructions in the box, "A complete instruction manual is available at www.Bushnell.com" . Not easy to find on the website either, but be assured if you look hard enough, you will find a 65-page multilinual manual for this device.It turns out that this is a far more capable GPS than the initial packaging suggests, with a good range of features and ease of use. The control buttons are small, but ok with a little practice.The cellphone app recommended with the device is mildly useful, and free.Would I buy again? Yes, because eventually i found the manual. Otherwise it's pretty useless.

I was hesitant at first to get it, seeing how many people complained about the data not syncing to their phone.I had no problems doing it, so I can only assume it's operator error on their part.Handy little device. I was able to get the data to sync to Gaia GPS on my iPhone. Not that I needed to, but I could.Hard to beat for the price. Nice little device if you just need a no-frills GPS with a long battery life.

Too small of screen. Screen needs to be 3 times size, and double pixels. Have simple 3 screens that rotate. 1 Map, 2 for distance, and elevation readings, 3rd screen for marking point. Same problem with e10. Then I would ditch my Garman e10. Keep black, and white. Color harder to read.

Excelente

The unit is surprisingly small, a plus AND a minus. It is light and fits in the palm of your hand but that makes the display very small and difficult to read unless you have great eyesight. The buttons require a firm press. With that all said, the unit itself "appears" to work as advertised. But that's where anything good to say ends...This GPS is dependent on the phone app working for most of its functionality. And the phone app is CURRENTLY NOT WORKING. In reviews of the app, you can see that all but 1 person said they get an "unexpected error" message when trying to create an account or log in via the app. I made several calls to Bushnell tech support and sat on hold for nearly 45 minutes and spoke with 3 different people who basically couldn't help me. I finally spoke with someone, 4 hours in and after 2 days of calling, who admitted that the app didn't work and that the developers "no longer worked there" so there is no ETA on getting the app working...So don't buy one of these units, UNLESS you download, install and test the app on your phone first.

I bought to use more as a backup GPS than my main unit. It is small, light and easily packs away in a small pocket. I have seen other complain about the phone app. I have no intentions to use the app, so that was not a worry for me.
