Review on Bushnell Hybrid Rangefinder: 🏌️ Advanced Distance Measuring Tool for Golfers by Kevin Graham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well but GPS battery life is not very good

I gave this 5 stars even with poor GPS battery life. The price is close to what only a line of sight finder would have (two separate batteries). The GPS works every time you turn it on, so it drains the battery. There are steps you could take to improve this, at least putting the screen to sleep until you wake it up with a button or hack. You will also have trouble using the magnetic case as the screen is on the side. It appears in the viewfinder but your buttons are on the side, doable but takes effort. Good luck and don't forget to charge your battery (best for 1-2 laps). Cool approach, but the GPS battery management design needs an overhaul. It finds the field well and navigates it automatically as it moves from hole to hole.

Pros
  • Preloaded over 36,000 courses in 30 countries
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
