If you’re looking at this unit for the GPS feature, DON’T BUY IT.
I’ve been buying Bushnell Golf Range Finders since 1995. And this Bushnell Hybrid was my third one. All of my previous Bushnell Range Finders still work, and I’ve only bought new ones as technology improved. However, this is the worst range finder I’ve ever had.My problem is with the GPS that has the rechargeable battery. The documentation indicated you should be able to play 2 rounds before having to recharge the battery. I was never able to get 2 rounds. And about a year after I purchased the unit, I was lucky to get a full round. Now the rechargeable battery lasts about 9 holes (if I’m lucky).There is nothing in the manual that states you can replace the rechargeable battery. I contacted Bushnell and asked them if they could replace the rechargeable battery, and they indicated it could not be replaced, and the unit could not be repaired. They offered an $80 discount on a new unit. I paid over $400 for the original unit, and I’m not too happy about their offer.I really liked the GPS feature on this unit, but it no longer works, and I wouldn’t dare buy another one of these hybrid units. And I’ve had two other friends where I recommended this unit, and they are having the same issues.If you’re looking at this unit for the GPS feature, DON’T BUY IT.

Something is wrong!!!!!!!
As far as the product is concerned it gets black dots in lens for some reason. I have tried 2 of them and it has happened twice now. Playbettersports is not at fault it is the products fault.They replaced the first one right away and I have not brought the problem to their attention yet on the second one, but I have faith they will make it right. I would like to hear from Bushnell concerning this. I would like to get some remedy. I like the idea of the product and combination of the the laser and gps but the black dots are very troubling.

There is value with GPS & Laser combined in a single device
Rangefinder is as advertised. Quality & flexibility is very good. The only issue I have is the length of time it takes to acquire the golf course being played. Overall very satisfied. Have used extensively on local familiar & traveled to one time travel courses, worked very well in both instances.

Best Rangefinder Yet
I read the reviews complaining about the battery life of the scope, and I can say that I have not had any issues yet. I can play more than 2 rounds with the single charge. The rangefinder has great features (hazard, end of fairway, green side bunkers, etc) without having to use the app. The app that is associated with the scope is amazing as well, the flyover feature is a great portion. If you have not purchased a laser rangefinder in the past and have used nothing but GPS, this scope will not disappoint you as it as all that (GPS & Scope) in ONE DEVICE!

Bad move for Bushnell! Ps, it's not too late to recall and fix!
I. Can't believe at this price it does not have slope. It is accurate but the battery is awful and last barely a round. Very little for a lot of money. I have gone back to my old one. It was too late for me to send back. I guess I hoped it would get better with more use.

Easy to use and very accurate.
I play lots of golf and my bushel is wonderful. I have used other expensive devices and this by far is the best. Easy to use and always accurate. Best part is no yearly fees and easily picks up any course I am playing. I purchased the pouch that attaches to the golf cart which makes it handy to use. I would have preferred the magnetic sleeve but since the controls are on the side, the sleeve would have covered the controls but am very happy with the pouch.

Good unit
While I get some don't think the battery life is good, for the GPS portion of the unit, it lasted for 36 holes in a match play event I played in one day. To me, considering the unit is constantly updating position via satellite, I'm okay with charging it every 2 rounds. Love that I can get a front and back of green yardage. Very helpful with those back pins, when you don't want to go long...I like it! I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

Great but wished the battery lasted longer.
Bushnell quality as good as the previous laser I owned. GPS battery only lasts about 2 rounds. Most new carts have USB for charging but gps is not functional during charging so have to be sure to charge almost every round. It is definitely an added convenience to have the gps available as well as laser option.
