Unveiling Celestron 44857 reTrace Deluxe (White): A Remarkable Device for Ultimate Tracking Experience Review

I have ReTrace Deluxe. Looks like the only software that will work with it is their own program. You can download it from the Celestron website. I have windows 7 and had to run it in compatibility mode for it to work. The buttons at the top of the page (Download POI, Save POI, etc.) are greyed out but STILL work if you know where to click on the screen. I ran the program first but it failed to connect to my ReTrace Deluxe. Then I marked on the screen where the buttons I needed were located. I…

24 hours after installing new varta batteries in the new retrace deluxe they were completely dead although i only set and tried the time, counter and celsius (five and six times) to get a satellite signal. (It was +2°C, so not too cold for the batteries!) The acquisition time was always over 5 minutes, later the car didn't get any signal, and when I got at least the coordinates of my place, they soon disappeared again.

I have been very pleased with the Retrace's performance during my travels. Battery life wasn't an issue, and I found the trail mode…

It's nice, small and handy, but.- Unlike a normal GPS device, there is no background map to see your progress - You determine your position (automatically), save it as a POI, and then when you move away from that place, the display shows in which direction you are moving and how many meters you are from the POI. - the screen is pretty damn hard to see in bright sunlight; Even in the shade of the trees, the screen is dark - I found the instruction manual difficult to understand and follow…

My partner and I like to spend our free time together outdoors. As we got older I was sometimes afraid of getting lost on our hikes in the mountains and not finding the trail before dark. Then my friend read about this device that will help you find your way back so you never get lost. How wonderful! Well we ordered one and waited patiently for it to arrive, which actually took a few days longer than we expected. When it finally arrived we were amazed at how small and compact the device was…
