I'm using mine for land watching and i can honestly say it works great for this.I just want to know if there are more eye pcs for looking on land?

Yes...any lens 9mm or higher will be great fir terrestial viewing as long as you have an erecting lens...good luck

I was pleasantly shocked and surprised when I simply pressed my Phillips desktop computer cam up to one of the eyepieces. I was Skyping with a friend and he saw the specimen very clearly! WOW. I would imagine that I can simply set up a mount over one of the eyepieces and take photo snapshots AND/OR videos of anything I wish to observe.

For the same price, TI is a no-brainer. If it costs more, it's only useful for bow hunting, but if you do that it seems VERY useful. Just understand the limitations. Over 100 yards the tilt calculation doesn't exist, so it's really only useful for bow hunting from a stand.

IMO terrain view is the only view to have ... updates when you get them are to both terrain and standard maps as far as I can tell. On a dark road, I find the terrain view gives me a better idea of what to expect ahead during the times I have to drive slowly. Now, I like to look at views when its safe, but at night there's nothing to see, except what's via the Garmin. I traveled up an unfamiliar windy mountain road on a trip a few months after purchasing my 3790, and "saw" the canyons and rivers running nearby. I'm not talking about side views, but a pseudo topographical mode that gave me enough information to feel I wasn't entirely "in the dark" going thru an area I might never pass by again. But that's just me. :)

I would use a telescope that is specifically for that. I have taken these things out to the mountains in southern New Mexico for star gazing and they did work well. The biggest challenge with these is that sometimes it is difficult for them to hold their focus.

Yes, it will also work on land. It will however be a bit bulkier than a traditional land detector as it is designed for under water use.

I use the 100mm for shore birds. It has a long reach to see far off birds. It's great to use when you have a car. If you're hiking, it'll be too cumbersome for any long distance. It's great when you're driving though a nature preserve or a park. It's quick to set up and you will see things no one else could think of seeing. I've had people ask me what are you looking at? I'm looking at that bird in the tree just past the lake. I can't even see the lake. That's why I have the 100mm, I can see the lake, the tree and the painted bunting in the tree.

Have not sighted in using this scope. Just used it to check out land. I would say, though @ 100 yards it would be ok. Hoping to use it this weekend or next to sight @ 100 & 200 yds.

I only used it for star gazing but I'm guessing it may be to strong. A refractor telescope would probably be of better use. a refractor telescope is definity easier to use.

I use this to look at photo's outside after I take them. It works great for me, since I only use it outside.

yes..its a point and shoot with internal cross hairs that give you distance to any object your looking at.. you just use one eye but you can adjust focus.. I think its better than gps for golf because there are many objects you need to see how far they are...this model is very easy to use and has great value..

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.

I got the sightmark ghost hunter and it had the IR mounted with it. I like it a lot and it works real great.

I use a Revelli, don't know the model but probably got it from Amazon, but don't necessarily recommend it for birdwatching because it is heavy. Birdwatching usually involves a lot of walking & a telescope/tripod combination has to be a compromise between steadiness & portability. Because of my age I don't go on long walks any more & confine birdwatching to my back yard. I also use the tripod for photography & it is good & steady for that.

Depends on how big the object is. The spotting scope is OK but if I had my time back I might have opted for a better one. At that range you might get about a foot in diameter viewing, never really tried anything that close. Wish I could be of more help.

I have used the CatEye on my road bike and my mountain bike, and they performed well. The display shows twoselectable functions. After a ride, the distance, average speed, max speed, can be recalled. The unit can be calibrated veryaccurately by entering tire size.

no, it is not a laser range finder , is it strictly GPS and unlikely helpful for hunting the watched is based on 30k golf courses that have already been mapped out
