Then, the unit directs the user back to each location, displaying both distance and direction to the marked locations (hence the "Backtrack" name). It has a digital compass that calibrates automatically, is weather resistant, and uses a highly sensitive receiver. This model operates on 2 AAA batteries, is compact, and has a lanyard to be worn around one's neck. This model has entry-level pricing and is ideal for users who do not require maps.
