Gimmick/waste of resources,

This will not hold up to the riggers of hunting, camping, or just plain living room use. Why? It's quite cheaply made, not resistant to anything one might regularly encounter while hunting or camping which is why I also said it won't hold up for plain use. If you have a hunting or camping buddy, they'll torment you so much that you have this junk that you'll knock it off a 2 foot table and it will irreparably break. It's just that cheap.
During setup you're supposed to enter the country and state and then county. You can select from US or Canada. I selected US and then, since I hunt on the Eastern shore of Maryland for waterfowl, I tried to find Maryland under the 'states' menus. Maryland DOES NOT EXIST? No way - I thought, so I downloaded from Bushnell its latest software update - apparently Maryland has succeeded from Bushnell's reference of States of the Union.
This item is useless for me for either camping or hunting, it's sitting upstairs just pulling in...Read more

Works fine,

I have this product and it works as advertised. We have it in our kitchen right where we can see it and we're very glad to have it. One of the best features is the fact that the backlight changes colors depending on the current outside temperature. That's a great feature! You come downstairs in the morning and glance at it from across the room and you already know what you're in for. Any time you can see it you'll get an idea of the outside temp just by the screen color.
The only downside to this is that while the unit itself is wireless the transmitter just sits on a local computer that is connected to the internet. This is NOT one of those forecasters that just gets the data over the airwaves. Hence, four stars out of five.
For the price, though, it's a very good product. Just need to have a PC (not Mac, unfortunately) around for the transmitter.
Good But Aggravating,

I bought this for my husband who is constantly checking the weather regardless of whether it's hunting season or not. I like the way it looks and it's small enough to sit on my end table without being in the way. But we recently noticed that the "feel like" temperature was higher than the actual temperature. I have to pull up the program several times a day and tell it to send the update to the receiver for the information to be correct and my computer and the receiver are just in different rooms within the house. If not for this problem I would have given more stars.
