This is a you-get-what-you-pay-for device. It adequately fulfils what I needed a GPS for, which was as a safety device to be able to verify that I’ve been travelling in the direction that I expected and to be able to retrace my path, and fulfils my preference for a GPS with a re-chargeable battery. On the down side, it is somewhat difficult to use, with the buttons being hard to press, and significantly over-estimates distance travelled (by an inconsistent amount that has ranged up to 60 percent more than the listed distances in trail guides). It also reported the elevation at High Point, New Jersey as 2023 feet, which is slightly more than 200 feet higher than the official elevation.

Too small of screen. Screen needs to be 3 times size, and double pixels. Have simple 3 screens that rotate. 1 Map, 2 for distance, and elevation readings, 3rd screen for marking point. Same problem with e10. Then I would ditch my Garman e10. Keep black, and white. Color harder to read.

Screen is to small. Not easy to setup. But will guide you

i wanted something that was simple and didn’t have tons of useless features on it. all i really wanted was a “breadcrumbs” map to help me get back to my truck when riding atv trails in northern new england- this does have a “breadcrumbs” map however, the map is just too small for it to be useful. the screen is so small that any trail ride over 2 miles gets condensed into a very basic line, and there’s no zoom-in feature on the screen, so after riding 10 miles into a 100 mile trail, you literally can’t tell where your turns are left or right because the map is so small. as seen in my photo, that’s the breadcrumb trail of my 15 mile drive into work- through multiple neighborhoods and dozens of turns- you’d never be able to pinpoint the turns I took if trying to follow that breadcrumb map back- a simple zoom feature would’ve resolved this, but bushnell designers apparently never tested this gps off road to see how useless the breadcrumb map is. $100 is way overpriced- this is maybe a $30 keychain gadget at best. the entire gps is 3″ tall x 2,5″ wide, the screen is only 1.75 x 2″ – about the size of a smart watch. I returned it for a refund. i would’ve kept it if it had a zoom feature.

I like this small compact GPS and it has the futures I wanted but getting the full instructions manual is at the dead end line. I went on Bushnell web I only see manual for other GPSs but not my GPS. The card picture here has the website but it is dead and frozen. LPL

I had and loved the very simple predecessor and thought this would be a great addition with more features… It did not deliver! Buttons are VERY hard to push even when not on a wiggly horse, thank goodness for lanyard clip. It did not link with the phone app consistently and the app is very buggy. It did do a track (recording my path) but you can’t do anything with it cuz app is so crappy. It was a little more accurate than the old one with pointing back to a marked point like a parking spot. I liked the GPS coordinates displayed, that was a nice feature. Oh, the time set…I spent over an hour trying to get that done, SERIOUSLY did they try to find the most convoluted method just to make the rest of the awkward menues seem better?!?! You have to add or subtract timezones in weird increments to try to get it to match.. all without a manual. On that note, this should be a simple thing but even when I found a manual from Bushnell it was seriously sorry-@$$…. Packing up for return now and go look for the early version.

Wanted something simple, small, dependable and within my price range. Shopped around a bit. Saw the d tour mini. I couldn’t be happier. I do a lot of trail running and day hiking and wanted a compact GPS to give me 2 bits of information. 1- the direction of the truck. I drop a waypoint at the truck. Head out. Pull out the DTour. It tells me (point to point) the direction of the car and as a bonus the number of feet to it. Does not tell me if there is a lake or mountain in between but that’s fine with me. All I wanted was the direction. 2- longitude and latitude. Incase I need help (and have cell phone reception) I can call for help and give them my location. That’s all I was looking for in a GPS and it this does it perfectly. It does more like breadcrumbs, temp, etc but again I don’t care.

Handy little GPS, lacks some features that limit usabilityI bought this for something to keep in my pocket while cross country skiing to record my distance, etc.It works OK. I wish it had an average and max speed.User interface is good and can be operated with thin gloves.Battery lasts a long timeEasy enough to operate that my 6 – 8 year old ski school students could use it to find geocaches marked as waypointsHard to add waypoints before a trip. It can be done, but it is not straightforward.
