does it work well in the mountains

I don't know. I only used it in the National Forest in Montgomery County, Texas. No mountains - only heavy forest with rolling hills.

I have never used it in the moutains. I suspect you will have no problems. What ever you do do not buy the Backtrack dtour....it sucks and so does the software.

Yes, it does work well in the mountains. When you're in the higher places like mountains, you get quicker and better receptions.

The Bushnell Backtrack works very well in the mountains, provided you have a good view of much of the sky. Note that you can only save 3 waypoints, and that you have to actually be at those places to save them. Then you can navigate back to them. You cannot read coordinates off a map and enter them into the unit (as you can with most other GPS devices). Last year I went to Sunrise parking lot on Mt. Rainier and saved a waypoint on my Bushnell Backtrack at my car. Then I watched it as I hiked to Fremont Peak and back, and it always gave me the distance and direction back to my car. The terrain was clear and open all the way, being at near 6000 ft and above treeline all the way. On the way back, it indicated I had arrived when I was only about 10 feet from the car.

The mountains would probably stop you. Best to call the company and check with them.

Hi James. It's great for mountains and fields. Pretty good for real estate. But as Amazon Customer said, for groups of people, you have to exercise a little care. If you get people too near the edges of the frame when you're shooting at the wide end of this lens, they can start to get pretty wiiiiiide themselves. Most people don't take kindly to that. An alternative to backing up and using it at the middle/long end is to shoot a bit wide and crop--if, for example, you needed to get in as much of the background as possible.

This antenna is subject to some interference esp. if you have a lot of trees and not within 50 miles of broadcast towers. Shorter the distance the more interference it can withstand. If your in a deep valley with large mountains blocking the signal it might be trouble. It operates similar to the old style roof top antennas equal to but not better in performance. Even for HD the larger rooftop antenna are still better in tough signal areas.

It sounds like it should work well for you. Trees do not usually present a problem but hills and mountains do. I suggest that you look at tvfool.com which will give you a better idea which stations you could receive from your location.

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

No idea as my location in the mountains has very poor reception and I am a technology dummy

Yes, we live in the mountains @ 7,000 ft so Air Condition is not a big deal--The one I have has Heat, Off and Cool. You can set it you with a timer to best suit your individual needs. Hope this will help you.

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.

Works fine outdoors in good weather. There is a sensitivity adjustment if you aren't getting as much movement as you want.

Yes, it works well in high altitudes, we live above 5800 feet and it works like a champ! i have it hooked up to a five gallon propane tank that I placed outside the house, just put a small hole through the wall or floor, installed a shutoff valve and used a hose from a propane bbq. Works wonderfully.

Yes, I live at an elevation of 5,280 ft. It works great for me...just brewed some iced tea up yesterday!

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.

It works very good in cold or warm weather, and 32 degrees below it still works well. Just like any other electronics don't get it wet.

Yes....I have had it out in a field near my Travel Trailer since I got it and no problems so far. Very rainy summer

No, I use mine in the mountains of Panama. It only gets to 40 degrees a couple of times a year. Hopefully someone will have experience with colder temps that last for longer periods of time.

It is very good in rugged terrain. If you are in a very steep canyon with high mountains, you will have trouble. I do not know what a non-GPS area is.
