User Review: Highgear AltiTech 2

Highgear AltiTech 2
Above: The current AltiTech 2, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $110

I just wanted to add that at 10,000' in 20 degree weather that the display is slow when changing between options. As if the liquid in the liquid crystal display was thickening up.

Over all, I really like the device and would recommend it to any one who enjoys the extra information of hight and temp.

It does not guess weather accurately in the high elevations. When the sunny day icon was displayed, it was actually raining out. That happned once. Several times it displayed the cloudy icon on bright sunny days.

I have not used the compass portion much. I would like the compass to display about twice as long as it does.
