Garmin Approach Z82

The Z82 combines laser precision with Garmin's course maps — point at the flag for exact distance, or glance at the GPS overlay for hazard distances and green edges without taking your eye off the course. The combination eliminates the main weakness of pure laser (you must aim at something) and pure GPS (limited to pre-loaded points). Preloaded with over 41,000 courses. The color display is cleaner than most. Battery life is good for 2-3 rounds per charge. Premium price is justified if you value both measurement methods.
