IDC Ecco Intelligent Digital Compass Personal Pocket GPS Locator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got mine, and went out to a Walmart for testing this out. So it takes a while to set up the compass. You have to go through a 3 step process to calibrate the device. Once there, you get to lock your position and go. I do like the fact that the device doesn't lose the location when it goes to sleep (like one would expect). At the same time, I was impressed with its accuracy. It's not really pin point accuracy. Don't get me wrong. It got me close enough to see my car but it was not pin point accurate. For instance, I wasn't able to get anything going in short distances.
The battery needs to be charged for 2 hours before the first use. Don't forget that! Do I think this device is useful? Absolutely. If you are going to a conference and want to go out for lunch and find your way back, it'll do the job. But if you park your car in a parking lot and hoping for pin point accuracy, you are asking too much. It would get you close enough but stops once you are in a few feet distance.
Update: 08/15/09 - the device has performed well a few times that I have taken it with me on the road. The key to having success with this gadget is letting it lock on the satellites. The battery life is decent too.

Bushnell GPS BackTrack Personal Locator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item is great for both the backwoods and shopping mall. I got it for my wife to find her car when she exits the mall... Yes, some of the parking lots are huge! The day that we received it, we went to a new park and brought the Backtrack along. By the time we got to the field that our grandson was at, we couldn't see the parking lot, and there were 4 of them.
When the game was over, I pressed the automobile icon and followed the direction that the Backtrack pointed us to. It led us to within a few feet of the car!
It works great and is easy to use.

Bushnell Backtrack Point-3 Personal GPS Locator (Gray) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This GPS points in the correct direction to get you back to your desired location only "some of the time". This is very frustrating, especially when you are hunting in unfamiliar country. I want to count on it to get me back to camp or my truck every time so I test it when returning to my desired location and it points to the correct location about 75% of the time. I have had it point 180 degrees off, even when I ccould see my desired return point from 1/4 mile away. It is unreliable. 25% error in operation is unacceptable.
