Selected User Reviews For Bushnell Hybrid Golf Laser Rangefinder + GPS
The second improvement is the jumbling technology they add When used with the laser, the unit works well, is easy to use, and quickly determines where to place the pin. As of right now, I've only used it for a few different games, so my rating may change if I use it more. One of the things I dislike about this version is the battery life of the GPS and its rubber eye-lets. I like that. When putting the unit in its case, make sure that you have the unit facing away from the eye If you pull the unit back out of the case while the piece is up, you run the risk of it coming off. It is a minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless. Keeping in mind that this is Bushnell's first device with two batteries in place of the previous single rechargeable battery is more concerning. the new unit, the gps is powered by a rechargeable battery, which you can replace, and the laser is powered by a replaceable CR2 battery. The previous system, which powered both components by a built-in rechargeable battery, could easily last three or more games before the battery needed to be charged. In the event that the battery died to the point of the GPS no longer working, it was possible to finish off the round using the laser. The new version of the machine includes a built-in rechargeable battery that is supposed to last for three rounds, but it has made just it through two.
* I appreciate how clear the eye piece is. There is a great deal of clarity, even at a Having to recharge the battery every time I use it is very inconvenient for me. There is no slope or elevation correction in this product. This is not a problem for me at all, but some users may prefer this. There are currently no hybrid range finders that come with these features, as far as I know. It is my go-to range finder practically every single day and it is a treasure to me.
There is a lot to like about the concept, but they need to improve it. It is not capable of slopes. A GPS is missing an off button, as well as a shut off timer that does not Although the backlight of the GPS is on, it is tricky to read. You have to reset it a few times a round because it loses the course. There is something we can learn from the green distances. The idea is a good one. On the other hand, I hope the new models will be better.
It says in numerous reviews that the device simply does not power up, so I read numerous reviews before I bought it. They (Bushnell) made the "select" button front and center in RED. the design team in their wisdom pulled out the grey 'Golf' button to operate the GPS and, on top of that, they did not make it very clear in the guidelines, which are brief and difficult to follow. It is my belief that the range finder is an awesome range finder but that it receives a bad rap and many returns for refund due to poor user interface design and poorly written instruction booklets. I am sure it will be something you enjoy if you can figure out how to turn it on.
In fact, the price point is close to the price of a device with just a line of sight finder (two Since the GPS is constantly running when you activate it, the battery is constantly being depleted. You could at least put the screen to sleep until you activate it with a button or use a shackle to wake it up. This is a decent approach, but there needs to be some improvement in the GPS battery management. I like it because it locates the course very well and follows you when you move from one hole to another.
As far as range finders go, this is the worst of both worlds. There are a lot of laser range finders on the market, but they all have batteries that run out, usually on the third hole so I tend to avoid them. Three cartridges) and a battery separate from Having said that, I do like the item, even though it was not what I wanted. There is a lot of information in it, and it is very accurate. The yardage to the flag is presented in conjunction with graphics of the front and back of the green based on GPS and laser technology. This is really nice. It can also measure distance from the target. In that case, it would be 4 If you are not concerned with the power problems, give it 5 stars.
It will no longer last 18 holes if it is not charged right before the round.
