Review on ⛳ Garmin Approach Z82 Golf GPS Laser Range Finder with Flag Accuracy Within 10 Inches and 2-D Course Overlays by William Obong

I'm upgrading a Bushnell V2 rangefinder with tilting and great optics. The Z82 is fairly easy to use, but a bit tricky to aim. I suspect that Garmin can improve this with an update. The battery life is excellent. Lasts several turns before needing to be charged. I love that I don't have to buy the $11 battery that old Bushnell used. What's great about this device is that the Z82 will show you in a split screen when you come to a golf hole where there are unknown distances to off-the-tee hazards. format distances to these targets. I especially like this feature on fields that I don't play often. There are many techniques to become familiar with and sometimes when playing a competitive round it takes a while to reach the menu. I often have situations where GPS detects a hole. #10 distances when playing hole #8. You can change this in the menu, but it takes time. My Izzo Swami 6000 GPS does not have this problem. Overall I like the GPS/Rangefinder function as well as the OLED color screen. It gives you a lot of information once you get used to the features. The Garmin app also connects to the Z82 and can also tell you wind speed and direction, but I haven't used that yet.
