Qstarz QFinder GPS

Dont get lost!

The QFinder is a tool using that enables you to find your way back to a marked point. Up to 4 points can be marked. The QFinder integrates GPS technology and simplifies it in such a way that really anyone can use it.

Have you ever left you car in a huge car park? Forgot where it is?

Here's how it works. Use the QFinder to mark the position you are. Go for a walk, a hike, a bike ride, sightseeing etc, and when you want to get back to that position, QFinder will point you there. Up to 4 points can be assigned. QFinder points you in the right direction via a 'compass' style display (see photos above). It also shows you the straight line distance to the return point.

In addition to the above, you can display the current temperature, the current azimuth (the number of degrees you are 'off' your current point), and the time.

Oh so simple

So it is very simple to use. The reason why we love this device so much is that, while it uses GPS technology, the application is so simple. Many GPS's can of course do this type of thing, BUT, there are people who cannot be bothered with learning how to use a GPS tracker, navigating back to places etc. In addition, the simplicity and the price means that you can just leave a Qfinder in your car, give it to kids when they go on a hike etc. Its a simple insurance device, that can 'save the day' while not costing the earth!

The QFinder uses 2 AA 'torch' batteries, so power is never a problem.

Here are a few ideas of where you could use the QFinder:

1. You travel to a new city. Save the location of your hotel as Point A. Now, you can go sightseeing, travel on public transport etc. with the knowledge that you can easily find your way back to your hotel.

2. Hiking: you're out in the wilderness. Mark your tents location, go for a stroll, and you have help if you can't find your way back.

3. Cycling - now you can burn up the miles, and you can always find your way back.

4. Parking, think airport parking!! You've come back from a great holiday or business trip, its late at night, and now if you can just remember where you car was parked! There is nothing worse than spending 20 minutes at 3am looking for your car. Had you marked the position with QFinder, you could find your car, no problem!

5. Again, because this device is so reasonable priced, it would be perfectly feasible to give this to school kids, maybe when out on a school trip, to come back to a 'rally' point. Equally, a tour company could give these to their customers to find their way back to the bus/boat/train. If you've ever been lost in a city and had only 5 minutes to get back to the bus before it leaves, a QFinder could save the day!
