Never Lose Your Car Again!

Bushnell GPS BackTrack Personal LocatorThe Bushnell GPS BackTrack Personal Locator has answered the question, "Dude, where's my car?" The self-calibrating digital compass helps locate your way back to any location regardless of how strongly your "man-stincts" want to lead you in the other direction.

We took it out for a test drive, and found it to do exactly what it said it would do, which was send us right back to where we started. It acquired the satellites rather quickly, and kept us on track no matter how far we took it. The hand held unit has great battery life that is conserved with its auto-turn off feature which shuts the device down after 10 minutes of idling.

It did have one slight drawback. You do have to keep it on a pretty horizontal plane to get the most accurate directions. So if you don't mind looking like Lewis & Clark on the way back to your vehicle, then it's a great piece to add to your tailgate arsenal.
