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.

Our signal is 20 miles away over flat land snow and wind affects it sometimes. If their is nothing between you and the tower (mountains) it may be possible.

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

I am at 1000 ft and it has limited performance. Good indoors but cannot handle the slightest of breeze outdoors. At your elevation may not get off the ground.Reg

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.

The radio reception is about as good as my car radio. I mostly listen to FM. I live in the Ozarks, so if I am behind a mountain I do not get reception. If I am on top of a mountain the radio pulls in stations very well. I do not know how long the battery lasts using only the radio.

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

I believe it. For your information I used in USA. In my country (Brasil) I have a little difficulties because the mountains stop the radio signal.

Yes, that's what we use. It's a little right through the mountain but other than that they work well together.

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.

I'm blocked by a lot of tall trees and some elevated terrain - not a mountain, but foothill features - and my booster works great. Went from barely a bar ever to two bars of service and even 4G occasionally.

I haven't had any problems here in our northern Utah mountains. Any problems maybe due to the valve stem in cold weather. I actually love this device; it's quick, easy, and always accurate.

The metal detector will work fine in all terrains, the only things that will mess with it are areas that re high in metal content. Water puddles might not work real well either.

Absolutely! My friend has one for both he & his wife & they use them up in the mountains to view wildlife & scenery!

we live in Colorado with good snow, the only issues I have is in 1 or 2 areas but for the most part, they work great, would recommend

I'm using it in Boulder, CO, which is at an elevation a bit above "The Mile High City," so you should be fine. We haven't had any problems with it.
