GARMIN APPROACH Z80

-

The Approach Z80 will change the way golfers use a laser range finder. Unlike traditiona­l laser range finders, the Approach Z80 provides 2-D overlays for both full colour Course View and Green View detail through the lens. With a simple press of the Range button on the device, the unique flag finder feature will lock on the flag and give precise distances. When looking through the viewfinder, the user will visually see that the flag is locked into place, and map will automatica­lly zoom in to show distances to the front and back of the green. The Laser Range Arc will be drawn on the green at the distance ranged to the flag, so the golfer can see if the pin is in the front, middle, or back of the green. The arc can also be used to see what else is in play when ranging other targets on the course. Additional­ly, the Approach Z80 will automatica­lly determine what hole the player is on to give accurate course layout and par informatio­n. The Playslike Distance feature adjusts distances based on an uphill or downhill slope, so the user can select the best club for the situation. When a golfer finds themselves with a blind shot, the device will give the direction and distance to the centre of the green using the Pin Pointer feature. Easily turn the tournament mode switch on to make the device tournament legal, and then turn it off to enable the Playslike and Pin Pointer features. With built-in image stabilizat­ion to reduce shakiness, and a 6X magnificat­ion, the Approach Z80 provides the user with a large, crisp and clear view with course view map overlays that show the hole layout. Lightweigh­t and compact, it comes with a convenient carrying case with carabiner so it’s never out of reach when players need it most. Available at selected MST Golf outlets.
