Does this model work well outdoors in CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT MODE for walking off long distances up to 100 ft.?

Sorry, I had no idea that it could be used in this manner. I purchased the Bosch because I though it could assist me in my work as a commercial insurance inspector, however, I very quickly determined that it was of little use to me in the daylight to measure between buildings as the beam could not carry distance in the daylight. My Bosch has less that 1/2 of an hour on it and I will sell for $75.00.

As long as you can see the laser beam and you must have somebody to hold the beam stopper as needed. Otherwise it works great for me.

I have tested mine and I know it will go at least 100 yards with no problem. I haven't tested to see how far it will go but I know mine works fine for a long way.

I have had my unit for about 6 months now and it has yet to fail on a continuous use basis. I have been able to accept sync ups from other brands and as long as were within 800 feet of each other it works well. I am unsure about off road usage as I am a highway man however a fellow rider that rides off-road does in fact have the same unit cites that he has little issues. Depending on the terrain and distance were the only two reported issues. otherwise, money and effort well spent. If there is concern of clarity of transmission and microphone, I've been impressed. It does offer background noise suppression, and I just received the newest update and I have noticed a small improvement in connectivity to other units. (Not sure if it was supposed to happen but I synced up with a DPS officer. Ticket avoided!!)

Depending on the distance, it will be less accurate the farther away you get. It should give a decent approximation at that distance.

The owners manual says it is accurate to 100' or appx. 30.5 meters. I personally have not used it for measuring that great of a distance but I can tell you it is a great tool for the price. I often work inside building with poor lighting conditions and the back lit display is great. The accuracy seems to be spot on. One of the best time saving tools I have ever purchased. I wouldn't know what to do without it!

I've used it at over 300 feet. The distance is impressive. It works smoothly even at that distance.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

It works really fine in any condition, easily over a mile for sure. Once i turned it off at my beach house and turned on in my house, it was showing my dog at 110 miles away. It goes pretty well on water, attention with the connectors, they are easily removal, so i lost a pair after long day hunting with out adjusting it. The terrain is well designed even without maps, i live in Brazil and it works fine without the need of buying maps.

I use it in my house so it is never more than 75-100 ft.from my phone but have not had any connectivity issues at all.

If you are talking about 300 meters. I could not answer that question. Mine is set up for 100 yards which is plenty good in the state of Indiana. It also has a knob for each 100 yards to adjust after the 100 yards by twisting it 1 time for each increment after the first 100 yards. Seems to be fairly accurate for the price. Overall deceit value.

It works off of GPS, so it is as accurate as your Garmin in your car. I'm guessing plus or minus 20'. The altitudes it gives you are just like an altimeter on a plane, above mean sea level. You would need radar to get altitude referenced to ground, not included.

I've used the first generation Nike SDM unit(which is an accelerometer) with much success over streets, trails, and races. Over a marathon it was within 10 feet over the entire distance. So I plan to check this out, first without purchasing the shoes and just strapping the accelerometer to my shoe. Once calibrated, I expect it to behave the same as my SDM. Once you have a nano it is a pretty inexpensive running tool. I picked up a 1gb nano brand new on craigslist (sf) for $100. I will purchase one tomorrow and try it out over the weekend.

I like in montana, an hour from yellowstone and it works fine. I've used it hiking I don't know how high up we were but its always seemed to work

It depends on the environment. It has worked fine 50' away but not always. 20' to 30' seems pretty dependable.

So far, it gives you the location, but I tend to find that the device is not accurate past 20-30 feet. So if you are using to track a person with some sort of cognitive issue, you will know the general area to look, but not the specific area.

I've been outside & up to 30-40 ft away and had it work fine. Good product.

I've only used it at slightly under a mile, so I really don't know, but at that range it was flawless, so over a mile should be no problem.
