Summary: GPS Issues?
Comment: I purchased the unit brand new, installed good quality batteries and installed the software on the computer and updated the software on the unit to newest version. in a clear field with NO METALS, power lines, watches ets. it displayed a magentic error icon as well as an odd lat/log. using another gps i entered the gps cord.from this unit and it shows that my field in maine has been telported to south eastern CHINA!!! I rebooted it many times and same results, new batteries same results. the moon i could see was indicated as not being present.
entered in the correct gps cord. manually and it worked perfectly. also the magnetic icon dissapeared. however after shut down and startup it said i was in china and all needed to be reentered. gps, time and date.
would also be nice if it could accept a low power eye piece of some kind.
keep your reciept and use fresh batteries.

Comment: Very happy with the SkyScout. Worked perfectly out of the box, easy to use, lightweight and sturdy. Was a huge hit with the grandkids. It was helpful to have a simple star chart with us as well, useful in finding the entire constellation once a single star was identified. Very fun, I can see getting a lot of use out of this great product.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great product
Comment: Recent price reduction and free downloads of NGC objects a real plus! Using as a finder on my dobsonian. Works great!
Customer Rating: Summary: get one
Comment: This is an amazing gadget. When I first tried it, the GPS didn't work. I manually entered the coordinates and it worked beautifully. Now, after several weeks, everything works perfectly and automatically. If it were lost or stolen, I'd get another. I never upgraded the software .... Don't see the need and some reviewers have had problems (who knows why).
Customer Rating: Summary: Superb Deal
Comment: I bought the SkyScout to interface with my Orion XT8 Dob. It performed perfectly, I was able to locate The Andromeda Galaxy, then use the XT8 to view it. "excellent" It has in my opinion out performed what I thought it could do, and I paid under $200.00 how can you beat that!
