SIMPLE GPS
Simple little GPS - don't expect bells and whistles or to use it for geocaching or car navigation. It has 2 functions and that is it. You can either use it as a compass or use it to track back to one of three stored locations. Directions are always given "as the crow flies" and you don't get breadcrumb trails. Was disappointed I couldn't turn off auto-off. If you need more in a simple GPS, check out the basic Etrex or Geko. That said, it does what it does well enough, though and priced well.
Pros: simple, easy, compact
Cons: limited information (breadcrumbs would be nice)
Recommend: YES

LIMITED USE GPS
Good convenience & safety item. Performs as described. Hard to remember steps if not used regularly. Doesn't lock stored locations against accidental loss. Can't see when activated in darkness. Slow to lock on. Great value.
Pros: compact. simple. easy to read.
Cons: settings easily lost. lanyard short. wanders.
Recommend: YES

BUSHNELL BACKTRACK GPS
It is fun to use but as in previous review, I have not had a chance to try it out in a large parking lot. Surely it will come in handy when I am visiting outlet malls, amusement parks, or anywhere that has a big parking lot like the extended airport parking lot where you must remember the parking location by letter and number. Will find out for sure how good it is when I travel in the Spring. Wish it comes with a case so I can store it when I am not using it. I did find a small cell phone case in dollar store to protect the screen from getting scratches.
Pros: small
Cons: takes awhile to get a fix on the satellites
Recommend: YES

Havn't had a chance to put it to full use yet since I purchased it for the summer season. However, I have tried it out and it more than meets my expectations

Very slow finding location -- even if it's only a few feet from the prior location it just found.

EXCELLENT PERSONAL HAND-HELD GPS
This personal GPS is really fun to use. It's a little bit larger than a stopwatch and only weighs an ounce or two and it's great fun. I use it to see how far away I am from my gym, my work, my barracks , etc. I took it to Seoul the other day and easily found my way back to the bus pick- up point. The neck lanyard that comes with the GPS makes it easy to keep handy. Because the price is so low and the potential for use is so high, I would recommend this to everyone.
Pros: lightweight, easy-to-use and inexpensive
Recommend: YES
