The nice-Good features and decent price.
Once you calibrate ( see below ) the compass, that is reliable.
The bad-
Not liking the very fact i need to do the “figure 8″ motion to calibrate the compass at any time when. In case you forget to take action, the compass isn’t reliable.
ALSO, the small METAL clip…remove it and use a leather shoelace to secure. Compass cannot have metal near it or it messes it up. when you keep that clip on it on AND forget to calibrate your compass….your lost.

Shuts off automatically every 5 minutes. Bushnells web video tells you to do ‘figure 8s’, ‘tumble’ the unit (roll again and again), and walk around in circles anytime this item powers up. If you want to do that every 5 minutes, then by all means, it is the unit for you. Even after jumping through all of Bushnells hoops, unit still gets ‘confused’ easily, and commonly points 90 degrees clear of your intended path. Returned the article, went with Garmin.

FAQ – Commonly asked Questions
Q: How do I make sense of the longitude and latitude data this unit provides?
A: Both Google Maps and Google Earth can easily translate the information into usable visual information.
Q: How long does it take to recharge the battery for this unit?
A: First use requires 8 – 12 hours charging time, while subsequent usage only needs 3-5 hours of recharging time.
Q: The unit doesn’t pick up a GSM signal and the SMS functions aren’t working, what’s wrong?
A: quite a lot of things can cause this to happen:
1) Ensure the SIM card is compatible (only 2G, 2.5G, 2.75G SIM cards work)
2) Be sure there’s money left at the SIM card and that it has not expired
3) Make certain there isn’t any PIN code related to the SIM card
4) Ensure roaming is enabled in your SIM account while you are in a distinct country

Brand New Real Time Mini GMS/GPS/GPRS Car Tracker… ($68)
Before the purchase, I asked a lot of detailed information by email and by live chat, but the “support service” replied with the same information that anybody can read in the on-line advertisement (that is very unaccurate).
However I bought it because of its very discounted price. When I have received it, I have realized something strange, it looked like an imitation of another old device I still have got. I have tested it and its standby time is not more than 24 hours, that means its working time is not more than 12 hours, that is NOTHING for a serious use.
Moreover the battery charger doesn’t work properly in fact I had to charge its batteries by another old battery charger.
Now I am looking for the same old device I still have got, but how to understand which (Chinese) device is good amid a jungle of its (Chinese) imitations???
