Bushnell BackTrack helps you recover lost items

by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets

If your age is catching up with you, then chances are you would have forgotten where you parked your car before, especially in those huge malls that seem to stretch on forever. Using a SIRF Star III GPS receiver, the Bushnell BackTrack device remedies such a situation thanks to three location modes that are able to guide you back to a previously marked spot, using directional arrows as well as distance estimations as your guide. It comes with a backlit display, enabling you to use it at night and in the day. Since it is weather resistant, it is also suitable for outdoor use, especially when you’re wandering away from base camp to explore the area on your own. Unfortunately, the Bushnell BackTrack will come only in pink or black colors, and it will retail for $69 a pop.

Wow that description is so wrong I may unsubscribe to this RSS feed… this is NOT for locating your keys, its for marking a location where you’re AT, then going away from that location and finding its way back to that original location. Like finding your car in a large parking lot, or use it for hiking to get back to you campsite etc.
