Does it take hills or altitude into account?

Yes, the Ultra does count hills and altitude as steps climbed. Just a word of caution, it does also counts altitude as steps climbed when driving in the car going over an overpass for example. To avoid this, I put my Fitbit on the charger while driving in the car. It will not count steps while docked.

Yes, in as much as the built in altimeter is accurate. This is old tech, newer companies offer better products an besides, much, much more importantly other companies may offer better support. From first hand experience, Fitbit customer service is atrocious, and that is very generous!!

the trees in my neighborhood do not affect it. i live in the desert and the closest mountain is 10 miles away. so, as far as mountains affecting it, i would not be the person to answer that question.

Yes. Adjusts from no resistance to climbing a hill. A bargain for the price.

yes, absolutely, the range will vary depending on terrain from one hundred meters to 2 or 3 kilometers

Depends on how long the hill is. If the hill is long and pretty steep than the board will just keep increasing at high speeds. But if it's a short and not so steep hill it will go at a medium speed. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. Just checked it out. There is a window in the lower left corner of the screen which can display time of day, altitude, or direction of travel. Just touch that window and you can select the options.

Simpler GPS units use satellites to 'guestimate' altitude - they work in planes (I use old eTrex entry level model). More sophisticated GPS units use altimeters - ie, AIR PRESSURE, which is not accurate in planes with pressurized cabins (ie, all Jets I know of :), but works much better when you are driving or hiking around.

no it doesn't. I forget what the manual says, but I'm guessing the high is around 300d

I live on top of a 3000 ft hill in the Calif . range is depended on height of antenna, terrain, and the ground plane effect...its not all antenna.

Maybe! It depends on the level of accuracy required by the analysis. To get a close approximation, my eTrex 20 works just fine. Given time, clear skies and an unobstructed position it provided elevations within plus or minus 2 feet.

i bought it for a gift. but they love it and it does climb hills. you may want to get the next up model for s.f hills tho.

Not on the watch, but in the Run Details it shows the altitude, i guess from the GPS

Yes it does...the different units can be selected via the software app. You can also use a combination of Imp and SI units for speed , distance and altitude.

Yeah. There are about 4 or so extra caps that you can switch out to adjust the "altitude" from 3000 to 19000ft

Not to my knowledge. The app only allows for photo and video, however, there is a site that you plug the device into the computer while on, and can do readings and calibration. I haven't explored the altitude, but info my be on there.

Yes, there is an elevation indicator on the screen "on demand" along with time, direction, and distance to destination and time to go.

its determined by gps, it is fairly accurate of couse the more satellite's the better. it does compensate for changes in ground level from take off, it can not adjust to upcoming terrain in flight. so using waypoints flying at an altitude of 300ft and you fly toward a hill thats 600ft your gonna have problems
