## What is Back?

Using the GPS of your device, Back Track helps guide you back to any location you've marked. Any time you're somewhere you think you may need to return to, but you're not sure you'll be able to find your way back, simply save your position with Back Track by marking the location. Whether it's where you parked your car or the hotel you're staying at, you can be sure you'll be able to find the location again.

When ready, select the saved location and start tracking. It's as easy as that!

Features
- Create and edit unlimited preset destinations.
- Mark your current location or enter longitude and latitude coordinates manually.
- Choose from a selection of user interface styles.
- HUD for detailed information of your current and target locations.
- The settings panel gives you full control over information displayed and measurement units used.
- Includes a power saving mode to conserve battery life.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Back Track's accuracy is dependent on that of your device. For better results, keep your device away from magnets and electronics, and calibrate it if prompted to do so.

Useless. 
Too complicated to use

Simple to set locations and track with plenty of accuracy to get you back to your car in a big parking lot, etc. Does exactly what it's supposed to do.

So as soon as you try to set a location based on current location, it just crashes. Don't understand how the only function of the app doesn't work. Skip it.
