 I own 2 of these and have had no problems. May 15, 2008

I own two of these and have had no problems using it as a thermometer. I use one for desert backpacking (over a year) and the other has been mounted outside my Jeep for several months.
- Neither has been rained on
- I've never tried to use it as a compass

I got this for my first 4 day wilderness backpacking trip in Yosemite high country. It worked well but died towards the end. I'm guessing the freezing temperatures and maybe resulting moisture must have gotten to it. I don't think it got down to 14F but it was definitely cold at night in the mountains. I've since moved on to non-electronic gadgets and that's my advice to wilderness hikers.

I have not purchased this item. It was selling in the National Geographic catalog for $49.95, so I was interested to look at it here, until I saw all the negative reviews. I tried going to the manufacturer's website to ask them to explain, or defend the product.
A VERY BAD SIGN: their websites contact form made me jump through all the hoops, then sent an error message stating that this portion of the site is "down" but that their engineers are "working hard" on the problem.
Yeah, right. I bet the part of the website that takes your money is working just fine....
