Paired with the Garmin Golf app, it adds course maps and distances to the front and back of the green.

Garmin's Approach Z10 is a handheld laser rangefinder built around a stripped-down control scheme: two buttons, Power and Mode, handle every function on the device.

What does the Garmin Approach Z10 do?

The Z10 uses a 6X-magnified viewfinder to range targets up to 350 yards away, confirming a lock with a vibration. Mode toggles the slope feature on or off and switches the display between yards and meters. An internal magnet lets the device attach directly to a golf cart. When slope is switched off, an external light turns on to indicate Tournament Mode is active, a visual cue for the user and any playing partners.

What does the Garmin Golf app add?

Paired with the Garmin Golf app, the Z10 shows distances to the front and back of the green and a course map with distances to hazards and other features in play. The app can also help locate the device itself if it's left behind on the course.

The Z10 has been well received for its simple, no-frills operation compared with rangefinders that carry more buttons and settings, and for fitting easily into a cart-based routine rather than a handheld sighting one.
