do i have to point at every flag ,to get the range ?

No, you only have to point with lasers. This gives you yardages to the front, middle, and back of the green automatically.

No...it gives you that info automatically. You only point of you want to know the distance to a certain point in pro mode
1622741
no this is a gps based system so it gives you numbers for front, middle and back of the green. What you are describing is a laser that you point at the flag to get the exact reading of the distance.
1622742
It is not a range finder in that you point it at the flag. It just gives you the distance from where your ball is to the front, center and back of the green.

The question has already been answered about it being a GPS not a rangefinder. Don't buy this GPS, it is crap!!! Spend the extra money and get a golfbuddy world

I just stand where the ball is and face the green and it tell me the yardage to the front, middle and back of the green.

No you do not have to point at the flag. Just stand where you are and read the distance, if you can keep it on the correct hole. Mine jumps around a lot.

Depends on what you mean by "exact." Figure that you will typically have more than ten feet of uncertainty on your current location. Perhaps a lot more. You can enter a lat/long that is within a few feet, and if you know that you can calculate the number fairly easily for 700 feet true north (other directions much more complicated). If you are standing on a spot, and say "mark this," you can use it to move the "destination point" anywhere you want, but it'll not be anything like survey-accurate. You'll have error on starting point, error on direction (+/- one at least degree), an error on distance (I'd assume a minimum of +/- five feet), and an error on current location (again, how far depends on satellites, trees, terrain, etc) of an average of 15+'. If that meets your definition of "exact," they yes. If you need to mark a survey monument for use in a court case, then it's not anywhere close to "exact" enough. Trying to find one that already exists, and you want to minimize your search area, then yes it'll get your sorta-kinda close. Can you clarify what you mean by "exact," and "north" (true vs magnetic)?

Before using make sure your base is level and stable or it's going to be all over the place. When you setting up(instructions) you choose two reasonable brite stars that you have to know(I cheat I use a skyscout). Once entered the display on the controller has 2 line of info (alt. and azi.) with numbers when you manually move up or down left or right the numbers count down when both numbers reach zero if properly setup you will be on target. Hope that helps.

This unit can give you the distance from any spot that you direct the signal to. If you point to a tree it will give you the yardage from where you stand to the tree. You don't need the laser link in the flag stick for this to work. You do need a fairly steady hand. But, you can get the distance to anything.

you have to manually set the angle using markings on the gauge. Pretty easy.

There are hash marks along the cross hairs. You will have to shoot enough to know when to raise your point of aim. You can't dial in a certain distance.

We have had ours since this summer and have had no issues with the yard markers or yardage in general. We use it all the time and are very happy with it. It has been pretty accurate. Not sure how to you would recalibrate.

if you are talking 50+ clicks in MOA (minute of angle) yes it does. after zeroing at 100 yards....loosen the locking screws on the elevation and windage caps and set to zero and retighten. Now you can adjust for elevation and windage and go back to zero easily.

just use the cordinates given by the gps. what is a "grid coordinate" anyway.

It's generally accurate to a couple meters from what I can tell. For example, if I run out on one side of the street and come back on the other side, that's obvious when I review the run map.

Not at all, if you line up the little red dot. It took me a while to figure that out

No once the battery is in place walk outside and press the button on the left of the scope.. It should light up with the ys or lines... Then aim at a target and press the same button. The yardage should be shown.
230428
Yes. Once you get the yardage correct. With this sight you should hit 40 yards no problem.

no. it comes up and tells you it is out of range. when you come back within range, it comes back up.

You look through the view finder at the flag pin, bunker, tree, ect... it gives you exact distance from any where on the golf course to any obstacle or hazard. It is a very fine product, works well in all weather conditions. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. I could not be happier with my purchase. My brother has since purchased one as well as one of my other golfing buddies. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

It does not show distance to traps, hazards, etc. I wanted an inexpensive GPS unit that would show distances to front, center, and back of green that was accurate and easy to use which this one does. It also will show shot distance, keep score, give round time, and is able to edit distances. I can get two rounds with one charge, however, I usually charge it each time I play. I am very happy with this unit.

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface. Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.
