Celestron reTrace Deluxe GPS Most Helpful Customer Reviews 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful By Thomas Allen Color Name:Blue Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars The Celestron reTrace Deluxe GPS acquires satellite signals quickly, even under thick foliage. Basically it is a nifty little GPS device that if left turned on, plots your route on a LCD screen (about 1.8 inches) as a series of dotted (bread crumb trail) lines that shows the person's movement without an underlying map on the LCD screen. You can also navigate with the reTrace Deluxe by entering a starting location for navigation and then switching it off. Later when you decide to return to the starting location you simple turn it on and navigate by following a direction of travel arrow with the distance given to the original location. Most importantly, you do not need to be constantly moving to navigate back to the saved location. Most simple GPS's without maps or compass that leave a bread crumb trail require that you must be moving to active the navigation pointer on the device so that it will point to the waypoint that was recorded. The navigation for the Celestron reTrack Deluxe is excellent for returning to marked locations. The alkaline batteries will last for about seven hours with constant use. The built-in compass is accurate and the LCD light for night use is good but hastens the depletion of the battery. The altitude and barometric pressure measurements are reasonably accurate when calibrated to a known altitude. The temperature measurement, however, is not very accurate. If you have Microsoft Window's software you can superimpose your route on a Google Map and also update the firmware by internet connection. The only negative aspect for me was the GPS is not Macintosh compatible. The software for this GPS is designed only for PC's running Microsoft Windows. Considering the price it is a very good GPS in its class for navigation that hikers and hunters will appreciate. In some aspects it might even rival (smaller size, compass, altitude and barometric pressure measurements) some lower-end more expensive Garmin GPS's. It comes with a two year warranty. |
