Do the compass and range finder interfere when looking at things?

No not a bit, they were able to set it low enough to be easily read yet out of the range of vision for normal viewing. I really like mine.

Not at all! Compass and range finder are at the bottom of the lens, you almost have to look for them.

I had a problem with mine. The viewing tubes were misaligned, one look up one down, just a little. I have not been able to use them, I am returning them.

There is a button that has light written on it. Do not see anywhere to calibrate the compass. Directions are not close to being correct.

I have taken trails that I have never been on, turned the Tracker on and the arrow will point to the direction back to camp. It doesn't show the route you took....It is a High Tech Compass and it will count down in meters as you get closer to camp.

There is a wheel near the viewfinder with - and + signs. Turn that in either direction to focus the viewfinder while looking in it. :-)

If you're asking if it measures distance, no. It is for leveling or making sure many items are lined up.

Yes, but I have had better luck with the accuracy of the compass when the vehicle is not moving, why I don't know. It's seems while traveling in motion, it is inaccurate, why I don't know. But over all it work excellent and I even bought a second one as a present for a family member. I think they work great for the price. It also takes some time to receive, after making the purchase from Amazon.com.

Mine does not. It shows a digital compass pointer and the direction to go to get to the last location.

There is no view finder. The lens is a wide angle type and I've not had any issues with it not picking up a good field of view.

Mine are on a Tahoe and only shows one distance i guess the closets one, i tried not to put them to far in the corner because they are sensitive and would give you readings from the objets on the side too

Make sure you are not picking up something behind the target. I have never had any accuracy problems with mine. Also, how do you know that it is 100 instead of 90? This model doesn't have gps btw.

It's used for sighting the course you intend to follow. As you turn the compass to the magnetic direction you want to go the sight wire shows you where that direction is in the distance or on the horizon. It gives you a more precise reading to follow.

The range finder is simple horizontal lines below center crosshair, NOT a digital laser with readout. You must have a known subject at a known distance for a base point to calculate any other further subjects at further distances. For what it matters, my binocular had a broken none functioning compass when I received it!

Not sure but i dont like the scope anyways.Too much adjusting with your eyes,Its not like looking through binoculars.If your eye is not perfectly centered on the scope,its not clear.

Unfortunately, if you have aligned the scope (i.e. using one of the alignment routines in the hand controller), you lose that alignment when you move the scope manually. When I use my CPC 800 for terrestrial viewing (which is not very often compared to using it for astronomy), I bypass the alignment but I still use the hand controller to slew the scope. I just find that is easier.

No.. check your scene selection or you may just be focused so closely on an object that moves out of focus range

Absolutely not. Make sure that your line of sight is inline with the scope and not shifted to a side. Also do not focus on the triangle, focus on the target itself. If that doesn't work the sight could simply be defective. Don't get discouraged with the product, when functioning properly it is hands down one of the best out there. Hope this helps.. Michael
