In this age of sophisticated map apps and turn-by-turn directions, it’s easy to become over-reliant on our cell phones for navigation. However, that can be a fatal mistake if you venture off the grid and your battery dies, you lose signal, or your phone gets smashed. In any of those scenarios, you’ll need a backup plan. We highly recommend learning basic land navigation skills with paper maps and a compass, but a portable GPS unit is another worthwhile tool to consider. The new Bushnell BackTrack Mini GPS unit looks like an interesting contender, with a wide range of features and affordable price point.
The New BackTrack Mini GPS Unit
The BackTrack Mini is clearly lined up as a competitor to the popular Garmin Foretrex 601 mini GPS unit, offering similar size, functionality, and reliable GPS/GLONASS/Galileo connectivity. However, at a $100 MSRP, it’s half the price of the Garmin product. This caught our attention.
With a simple black-and-white 2.25-inch display
and USB-rechargeable 800mAh internal battery, the BackTrack Mini is said to have a battery life of up to 24 hours. Its housing is IPX7 waterproof and lined with high-vis orange rubberized accents to protect against impacts. The glove-friendly buttons are also made from the same rubberized material. There’s also a built-in tether so it can be clipped onto a backpack or belt loop with the included carabiner.
