If I go on a long hike will it record where I went? AKA also track my location along the hike so I can see where I went and miles traveled?

Yes. Just be sure to set the GPS unit to the 'Log' setting. Canon provides a MapUtility that you use to download the GPS log. On macs, there is the ability to export the logs to Google Earth

A simple app for your smartphone will address your needs with a much better UI. That said, he unit can act as a stand alone GPS device. You will record a large number of lat/long coordinates that eventually will turn into points on a map. That is achieved by eating the unit in Log mode. My preferred solution, though, consists in ensuring each photo or video is properly geo tagged. That means storing lat/long, elevation, orientation and other params as exif data points.

Yes it will bread crumb, but you'll have to plot those to find our distance.

It does Geocaching and I believe you enter Long and Lat to find the sites, but I have never Geocached.I hope this helps

Yes. The screen is customizable to show up to four different categories of data, or you can scroll through data that shows direction, either lat long or MGRS, total distance down to the tenths of a mile or KM, waypoints, home base, elevation, and distance to a waypoint, speed, as well as other datapoints. Best GPS for hiking and such if you don't have the few hundred $'s for touch screen models. Really quick satellite capture, works well in every situation I have been in while hiking around the mountains and valleys and thick forests of the Colorado Rockies. I've never had an issue with sat capture, or loss of signal to show me where I am in the world. Recently used in Germany and Poland without an issue.

No. Not really. It records lat/long with time. But, the accuracy of all consumer GPS units is 50 feet. So, if you sit in one place for 15 minutes then any GPS unit will show you moving around that spot at incredible speeds. It could show you 50 feet to the left one second and 50 feet to the right the next. Computer software can smooth that out and give you a general overall speed.

Hello Steve, The Tracker Logs The Responses It Sends You On Your Smartphone. Like All Tracking Devices It Can Only Track Where It Has Both Satellite And Cellular Service. When It Loses One Of The Two It Cannot Track Or Log. Thank you.

Sort of. It works for tracking and elevation. However it doesn't come with any topographic or trail maps. You will need to load maps if you intend to use them, which you probably do. There are free maps available to download online. I think the best site is GPS File Depot.

I have no idea how they determine your location though it probably gps . Inany case, you cannot track someone else using one, only the company can track the user. Hope that helps

Sorry to say but no it does not. It will, however, show your path when you play back the recorded files on top of Google maps on your PC.

Yes - distance is calculated based on your individual average stride, and total minutes of activity is recorded and tracked.

Yes, as long as you are not in a narrow canyon or dense forest. You can locate an exact position and create a waypoint to save. It also keeps a track of your route that can be saved or discarded. You can retrace your steps following the track should you wish. This is a good GPS. The PN-40 is cheaper but goes through batteries quickly. This one is energy efficient.

There is a "Maps" app that comes installed. If you allow it to do so, (and you have Wi-Fi or a data connection) it will show you where you are and give directions to a destination. It doesn't actually give the GPS coordinates but there is an app for that too (I use "My Altitude").

Yes,When you download your run data to your computer you will get a GPS map and the path you ran super imposed on in. At the bottom is a graph that will track pace, altitude, speed, and distance. It is my first GPS watch but I have been very pleased. No complaints.

Yes. It will also store specific locations and provide navigation guidance to reach a specific stored location.

It will save your location data. Latin long . As far as date and time you will need to re enter upon set up. Unless your are attached to a computer via , com port or hooked up to GPS .

It tracks how many steps you have taken, how many miles you have walked, and calories burned in one day. It can also track your sleep patterns. You receive a weekly activity report via email. I just love it and it encourages me to walk more because I hate to get my average for the week down.

Yes and no. Yes, just put batteries in it and you can track your path on the trail, right out of the box. If you are expecting trails to be already marked on the built-in map, no. For that, you'll need to download or purchase additional maps.

No. This is a "basic" unit that has only two buttons and stores up to three locations - just mark your starting location and forget it until it's time to return. When you're ready to return, select your location and the BackTrack displays direction and distance to travel. Use it to find your car in a crowded parking lot, your treestand or the trailhead. I am directionally challenged and this simply points me back to where I need to go when I'm on the trail and don't know how to get back. It's been a great safety net and simple to use, but not elaborate.
