Does this unit store waypoints/tracking?

Yes it does. I is a nice little unit with very good quality display. We are very happy with it. Also, Raymarine has just released a new version with a larger screen.

Mine does not. It shows a digital compass pointer and the direction to go to get to the last location.

Hi Taran, Great Question. This Tracker Works Off Of SMS (Text) You Will Send Commands Via Text And Receive Realtime Locations In A Link That Automatically Will Direct You To The Location On Your Map......Also Gives You Date, Time, And Speed Traveled At Time Of Track. Hope This Answers Your Question, Thank You!

No, it does not. Alternatives are pseudo-GPS memory cards (like Eye-Fi Pro) or separate GPS trackers or smartphone apps.

No, but it gives choices of routes, and you can program it to avoid certain roads and road types (such as no toll roads), fastest route, shortest route. I haven't looked at the route choices yet. I have not had an issue with either of my Garmin GPS units not getting me to my destination; so I usually just let it take me, unless I decide as I'm driving to change roads, then it just re-routes based on the road I am currently on. You could also plot a via point to force it to go a certain way, which I have done with my older unit.

it doesnt track anything its just computer set up. the best way to do is use the manual tracking.

It comes with a low-detail base map (major roads, cities, state/province/international boundary lines). I don't recall the details of what else it may have, since I promptly purchased the higher-resolution road maps. If you use the GPS only for tracking your movements, and not for navigation, the base map is fine for that. It's not suitable for any kind of detailed navigation, however. Maps for that kind of use need to be purchased.

Yes you can store originating way points as long as you want, I have switched many batteries in it and the way points are still there as long as you need them.

I don't know what you mean by "display on a map", but i have had my backtracker for 2-3 months and i haven't had to replace the batteries yet. it can store up to three seperate locations in memory. it does not use 1,2,3 or a,b,c for the seperate locations. it uses "home" , "car" , and "star". but you can use them for anywhere.you don't have to use the "home" location for your home. it can be a parking spot at the mall if you wish,just as long as you remember which designation you use for a particular location. also it is not like a garmin GPS that shows maps or roads. all it does is mark a spot you designate,then when you go away from that spot,it will point to the spot and show distance to it but you have to figure out the turns to take. it points in the direction as the crow flies.

I think it would. As long as your marking your waypoints, because it doesn't use maps.

Marking a waypoint requires you to hold the "Enter" button down for a couple of seconds. A new screen appears showing the data which is being saved as that waypoint. If you wish to name it something other than the automatically generated numerical name, you can use the arrow pad to move to the waypoint name, highlight it, and then change the number to letters or other symbols and create whatever designation you like. To return to a waypoint you created, you press the "Go To" button and a screen comes up. (The newer versions may use the "Nav" button instead.) A screen comes up with the saved waypoints. A person can scroll through and choose whichever waypoint they want, press enter, and then a choice of screens becomes available, many of them customizable. You can choose anything from a simple pointer screen to various screens which can show you both your direction of travel as well as the direction of travel required to reach your destination by a straight course. If your destination involves a more complex path, you can create routes using several waypoints. The GPS will lead you to them in the order you've programmed them in, and will automatically find them consecutively, moving from one to the next as your reach each one. Some people also use the the back-track feature which, as long as the unit is left on and can "see" the satellites, will save unnamed points in a "recent memory" log. By using this feature a person can follow the most recent paths - easily those paths generated in the most recent 24 hours give-or-take, of GPS "on" use.

"Several apps store the data within the apps and allow you to track over time, graphing, etc" not sure of your application so cannot give you a complete answer, you can track over time. I will see what mine does I have tons-o-apps for this unit but have nit tracked over time myself.

Yes, however I would really suggest, unless you are really familiar with the area you are in, that should you go to a slightly higher model one that has map capability. This model gives you all the basic information you need, coordinates and direction etc, but has no map capabilty, which means no map is shown in the window, just your current location coordinates and a direction arrow for the direction in which you need to go to get to where you want to go, but no map to show you where you are on a map. It is your choice.

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

I do NOT believe there is. I am using their "Content Manager" to keep my content GPS updated and it's as slow as the first day I got it. Many times I've already passed a road and/or executed a turn by a couple of seconds before my position is actually recognized (and I am talking about suburbs with no building obstructions.) If you are reading this before purchase, do yourself a favor and consider something else.

Unit is junk. Will not get you back to starting point. I tried it and returned it. Compass did not point to start point. Don't know about storing data.

No, but you can download and upload storage from your P.C. (only 50 points - No maps). Very basic GPS
