These can be repaired to become 99.9% functional again. I have repaired at least 6 to date.I have them for sale or can repair yours if you so desire.

These are still 99.9% functional,the only thing that does not work is the gps.So all you do is manually put in your time and location and it points to and identifies stars or it will show you where they are using pointer arrows.The only thing that does not work are the moon & planets because the gps is obsolete after 2015.Great for kids and adults to learn the night sky.If you get one and have problems I will be glad to answer all your questions.thank you.deansclassiclubs P.S. It also has audio built in to explain everything thru it’s earpiece or a add on speaker so everyone can here and learn! I have used mine for 17 years! P.S.Works world wide wherever your trips take you!Read full review...

Exactly as advertised

Would definitely buy from again. Thanks for the great product at a great price. Kind of confusing on set up it would not grab GPS satellites but after inputting a reference position it grabbed the lock right away.Read full review...

Terrible purchase

It never did work. Will not acquire the satalites. GPS is probably broken.

Not supported, out of date database, no longer can acquire GPS

This product was abandoned by Celestron as of 2016. GPS function no longer works. You can manually put in your location put it cannot identify any moving celestial objects as the database ends in 2015 and is not upgradable. Don't purchase this brick.Read full review...

2015 Date Limitation.

While it's true that the internal date calendar stops at 2015 one can manually enter location and the unit will still be functional. I've done this with my SkyScout and am able to accurately identify stars. I am told that planets, due to their unique motion, may be off slightly. Read full review...

Useless

This unit was designed to be used only through 2015, and has now been abandoned by Celestron. Simply put, the unit is no longer functional, and is a total waste of money.
