Sending Xero Locations to a Compatible Garmin Watch

While you are hunting with your device, it creates a record of the heading and ranged distance each time you range a target. You can send this data to a compatible Garmin watch or handheld. This can help you create waypoints or track game. 

Sending and Receiving Xero® Locations

To send Xero® Locations (Laser Locate) from a Xero A1i bow sight or Xero X1i crossbow scope to a compatible Garmin watch, the latest software updates should be installed on both the Xero® sight and watch. For steps to update, see Related Content below.
