Garmin has expanded its range of distance measuring devices with the launch of the Approach Z30 laser rangefinder.
This innovative device offers excellent ranging performance and introduces the Range Relay feature, which sends ranged distances to a compatible Garmin smartwatch or the Garmin Golf smartphone app. Once the target has been locked in by the Approach Z30, the ranged distance and a laser range arc will display on the paired Garmin device to give players a visual indication of the pin position and everything in play around it.
Designed to provide golfers with even more situational awareness on the course, the Approach Z30 delivers fast and precise distance readings up to 400 yards away, gives players six times magnification through the viewfinder and vibrates once it locks in on the pin.
Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales, said: “Golfers will love using the Approach Z30, which seamlessly integrates with many other products in Garmin’s ecosystem. You’ll never have to guess your distance to the pin as the Z30 provides quick and accurate measurements and displays them on your compatible smartwatch or smartphone. It’s also an excellent standalone device with its speed and accuracy, making it an exceptional addition for any golfer.”
KEY FEATURES OF THE APPROACH Z30
Designed with all types of golf weather in mind, Approach Z30 is built with an IPX7 water rating, allowing it to withstand light to steady rain, wind and sunlight. The range finder also features a replaceable battery with exceptional life, providing players with up to a full year of use.
Not only does the Garmin Golf app provide players with premium features on the Approach Z30, but a Garmin Golf membership (£8.99/month or £89.99/year) also gives users access to Green Contour Data, allowing them to see the slope direction of the green on certain courses from their phone or Garmin device. Using the slope information, golfers can figure 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.
