"Purchased this unit to locate my car in parking lots. The unit takes approx. 3-5 minutes to locate a signal. I am in a strong reception area and this is not the first time I have used GPS. When trying to use it to locate my car the unit is consistently pointing the wrong direction and the direction pointer keeps changing."

"Bought 2 of these, one for me one for my wife, primarily to find the car in parking lots. After leaving the mall it points in one direction, 2 steps later it has you walk in another direction, every step or 2 it's another direction.

After wandering back and forth, back a forth finally there's the car right in front, maybe 10 or so yards it still says turn right, left, back and on and on."

"I bought the BackTrack on a road trip in Alaska. It's done just what it advertised. Simple to use, and worth the price.

It is not completely weathertight, a ziplock baggie will waterproof it. It doesn't always get a signal indoors, but who really needs GPS in a building!

Other reviews taught me to be wary, but after trying it out in many remote places I put my trust in it."

"Got this at a fair price at Dick's.

It's a toy, and not designed for outdoor activity. They recommend to use it to retrieve your car in a wide parking lot, but it doesn't work inside, so screw level parkings.

I needed something to retrieve my treestand, or my car in the dark in woods I'm not familiar with."
