Approach Z82, Golf Premium Range Finder
Product Details
Web ID: 19213506Overall a well-rounded rangefinder
I'm blown away by the display and information it gives you. Maps are updated through 2025. I'm able to see hazards, greens, and front and back distances. I also love that it has a rechargeable battery. There are features I'm not sure I'll ever use, so it comes with plenty to work with. The only downside I've noticed is it doesn't have a magnet, so it won't attach to a golf cart. Also, the bag it comes in is not the easiest to get the device out or put back in. The magnet piece is what I miss the most about other cheaper rangefinders I've used. I feel like Garmin missed the mark here. This is why I'd give it a four.

Great range finder, loaded with features. Locking on the pin can be challenging.

Terrific RangeFinder
The Z82 is incredible. I wear glasses and see through the viewfinder well, which I have had difficulties doing with other rangefinders. The organization of the information onscreen is brilliant. Every distance you can imagine is there at a glance.

Expensive but good
I showed to one my golf buddies and loved it. The weather link with wind speed and direction rules

HD images of the hole and hazards
Great tool to get a layout of the hole especially if it’s your first time playing the course

Garmin finally go it right
I bought a Garmin Z82 a couple of years ago and have really enjoyed the rangefinder. One troubling issue has been the inability of the rangefinder to link with Android phones for more than 15 minutes, rendering the advanced wind reporting functions useless. They recently came out with software upgrades that seem to fix the issue. Love the unit and all features now work. Would definitely recommend the rangefinder - great display and excellent features.

Don’t see the value for the price
I have a Z30 and Z82. It looks sketchy through the view finder like a movie or something. I already get hole image and hazard data on my iPhone. The PLAYS LIKE feature always works for 2-3 holes then stops.
