Garmin has unveiled the Approach Z10, a compact laser rangefinder that provides precise measurements to the pin of up to 350 yards with six times magnification.
Weighing less than 200g, the Z10 rangefinder is smaller and lighter than most smartphones and offers powerful attributes, including Garmin’s Range Relay feature which sends ranged distances to a compatible smartwatch, handheld or the Garmin Golf smartphone app.
Once the target has been locked in, players can see a laser range arc on their paired devices that reveals everything in play as well as distances to the front and back of the green to quickly understand where the pin is located.
KEY FEATURES
- Quickly range distance to the pin: View distance to the pin and the front and back of the green, with vibrational feedback to know when the rangefinder is locked in on its target.
- Dynamic distance: Ranged distances synced to a compatible Garmin device stay dynamic, automatically adjusting as players approach the target. No need to re-range before each shot.
- ‘PlaysLike’ distance: See how far each shot should play directly through the viewfinder, with yardage adjusted for elevation changes.
- Tournament mode: An external indicator light lets competitors know that the device is only providing data within the rules.
- Magnetic mount: Conveniently store the range finder with an included magnetic mount when riding in a golf cart.
- Find My Rangefinder: If misplaced, players can see their rangefinder’s last known location when paired to the Garmin Golf app.
- Exceptional battery life: Enjoy up to one year of use without needing to replace the battery.
A Garmin Golf membership (£8.99/$9.99 per month or £89.99/$99.99 a year) also gives golfers access to Green Contour Data, allowing users to see the slope direction of the green on select courses. Using the slope information, golfers can estimate out how much the ball will release after pitching, know which side of the pin is better to putt from and know the best miss for worst-case scenarios. Players can also get aerial imagery for a high-resolution, realistic view of the shot ahead on the more than 43,000 courses from around the world.
The Approach Z10 laser rangefinder is available now with a suggested retail price of £259/$299.99. To learn more, visit garmin.com/golf.
