Those who are interested in buying a rangefinder for golf should do their homework first before setting out to shop online or in stores. This is because choosing the right rangefinder can be a challenging task for someone who doesn’t know what his needs are.
Choosing a golf rangefinder actually depends on the person’s personal preferences, budget and golfing needs. There are two types of golf rangefinders you can choose from: the Global Positioning System or GPS unit and the laser unit. The GPS rangefinder knows the positions of all the main features on the golf course and has the ability to compute their distances. The laser rangefinder on the other hand uses a laser beam that when pointed to a certain point in the golf course, the unit measures the return time of the laser beam reflected off a solid surface. The price of the laser rangefinder ranges from $200 to $500, while GPS types typically cost around $150 to $400. People can also download and install GPS rangefinder apps in their smart phones.
The laser type of rangefinder has been around in the market since the early 90s. However, with the advent of smart gadgets and phone applications, the GPS type is becoming the more popular choice especially for those individuals who possess smart phones that can function as global positioning rangefinders.
