Thank you for your review and experience with the Approach Z82. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com.
I purchased this in late December and have had a chance to use it 5 or 6 times. The unit is slow, a little blurry, and takes a minute to get it up and running on each use....but I love the features. We have more than a few blind shots on our course, so its imperative to know where the pin is on the green, The entire hole is displayed in the range finder with a semi circle of where the hole is on the green. For instance, I might have 110 yards to the pin but our greens are so firm that I need to know how much green I have to work with, With the Z82 I know the green is on the back so I need to hit a 100 yard shot to hold the green. I also know how much green I have on either side of the pin. It has many other features but what I have described is the missing information I need. I use an Apple Watch 9, the Z82, and a free version of Golfshot. I have all of the information I could ever need
I recently purchased this and it is hands down the best rangefinder I have ever used! The built in GPS and the info in display make this an awesome tool. Got it on sale at Golf Galaxy and couldn’t be happier!
I absolutely love this device! It is a bit pricey... but the technology in this is amazing. The overlay is super clear and accurate. To have GPS built in is just really cool. Battery life is great. I do wish there was a way to clip the range finder itself to the cart... but the bag it comes with is nice and probably better to use that anyways to keep it protected. This makes my rounds more enjoyable and gets me to understand the course better, in real time.
I should've bought this earlier. Simply the best on the market. Pre-loaded with 41K courses. Distances to hazards as well as F, M & B of green and to the flag. Run and purchase this
my home course has a lot of hills an trees so my laser only finder would frequently provide the wrong distance. The GPS in the Z82 keeps the laser honest and when I don't have a target provides guidance. The Z82 laser is a little slow in acquiring the distance.
