OutdoorHub 09.11.11
Overland Park, Kan. – The Bushnell BackTrack D-Tour GPS was chosen as one of Field & Stream’s “Best of the Best” during the publication’s annual review of the best new hunting gear. Each product goes through a series of rigorous tests by a panel of experts before being chosen as one of the “Best of the Best.” In total, 150 products were tested and just 26 were deemed fit enough to earn Best of the Best honors.
Originally introduced in 2007, the Bushnell BackTrack series of simple to operate navigation devices have revolutionized the personal hand-held GPS market. The BackTrack gives users an easy way to mark waypoints and find their way from point A to point B without a lot of unnecessary, complicated features.
The BackTrack D-TOUR is a user-friendly personal GPS device that makes it easier than ever to record your track and find your way back. The D-TOUR includes a host of new features – including the ability to record, track and share your adventures – while remaining committed to the “GPS Made Simple” concept introduced by Bushnell.
The BackTrack D-TOUR allows users to mark up to five locations, while providing simple distance and direction to each location. This makes marking and locating deer stands, downed game, or a fishing spot quick and easy. In addition to a self-calibrating digital compass, the device provides time, temperature, altitude, and current latitude/longitude coordinates.
After the trip is over, users can easily upload and save up to 48 hours of data to a PC or MAC using the free D-TOUR software application. By overlaying saved routes on a topographic map, users can view routes from hunting or scouting trips, and quickly evaluate the course to determine if there is a better route to take next time. The D-TOUR also captures key stats from each trip including length of the trip, average speed, elevation and temperature. This data can easily be saved for future use or uploaded and shared via email or social media.
With the peace of mind that comes from knowing you can always find your way back, the Bushnell BackTrack D-TOUR makes your next hunting, hiking, camping, boating or fishing outing safer and more enjoyable. It is available in red or green, includes a USB cable, and sells for a suggested retail price of $119.99.
