Ratings & Reviews for Garmin Approach Z80 Golf GPS Laser Range Finder

Great features

I've owned it now for 2 years it's really great , the only frustrating thing is it won't stay connected to cell phone , this doesn't effect the range findings but it does the wind speed and direction

Z82

I purchased the Z82 it's a range finder I would suggest to add a magnet

Garmin Z82

Bought my Z82 on Facebook marketplace love it no issues haven’t learned all of it’s capabilities and need to sync with my Garmin Approach but I’m a big believer in the Garmin products highly recommend

Has Everything!

I've only had this device a little while but it does pretty much anything you want it to do when playing golf.

Exactly what I was looking for

Love this range finder from day one. Great tool and easy to use.

Z82

Great product and exactly what I was looking for. Able to see entire hole while focusing on flag. Like having a seasoned caddy in you cart at all times.

Not worth the money!

I bought this because of the wind speed and directions displayed on the viewfinder, however, it’s not accurate, not by a long shot. It would show 5 miles per hour winds when the wind is actually 20+ miles per hour. Another problem is very difficult to get reading from inside 60 yards. Also it’s top heavy, very difficult to to find pin! I have been using Range Finders for over 30 years, this is by far the worst!

Almost perfect

So far it is great, other than I can't seem to get the green reading part to work. I have a premium membership, but I have played courses where the cart shows the green slopes and the Approach Z82 doesn't. Maybe I am missing a setting or something?

Terrific Rangefinder!

The Z30 rangefinder is the best rangefinder I have used. Accurate distances and the pin location feature is outstanding. When combined with a Garmin golf watch, it blows the competition away.

easy to use. very nice.

simply the best I have used. Garmin nailed this one.

For the price....could use several improvements

The action of this unit is fast and accurate. There are a few things that I didn't expect for the money. Example - NO MAGNET? Are you kidding? For this price you didn't include one? Slow to boot up and often goes to sleep. Sometimes you have to wait for it to boot up and then reset it if you didn't use it on a hole. It goes to a deep sleep. Overall it is a good unit, but not great. Accuracy when it works is good. Screen is kind of grainy - looks cheap but it's color. If I didn't get it for a ...

Love this device !!

This is my second Range finder and I find this to be so much better. Having the course overlay integrated onto the screen with details on yards to hazards and bunkers is great and just adds so much to the usefulness of the device. I would highly recommend it !

Works Great

I like the readout of yardages to hazards and green along the side. Also a nice readout of wind direction, when it’s linked to your phone.

Approach Z82

I bought the Approach Z82 last month. I've charged it, and set it up but haven't actually used it yet due to the weather where I live. I do like the graphics over what I had.

Z 82

Works great. Get rid of your Busnell. Garmin is best I’ve seen !

Very difficult to site in

Extremely difficult to to hold unit still long enough to shoot target

More than a range finder

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 ...

The best out there!

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!
