do you know if the most basic garmin trail gps has a breadcrumb backtrack feature? i go hunting and just need limited features of garmins gps units. i dont geo cash or anything like that.

@coreyrav4 It does, but I would really suggest getting a unit that at least can load detailed maps, and that has an electronic compass an barometric altimeter. I guarantee that as a hunter those features will come in handy.

I have a question. I hope I can get an answer. I have the same device. Are we able to load an existing track and make a trackback... and meanwhile; at the same time track our hike?

@beltatex To answer your question, the GPS will continue logging your track even when using the trackback feature, unless you turn off the tracklog. You don't have to do anything; just hit the trackback button and start following your route. You'll see that as you walk your new track will be visible on top of the track you're retracing.

Your videos for using a GPS are the best. I have started hiking with a group which a few have GPSs. I started looking for instructions and tutorials, and yours are the best!
