Range Relay
The Range Relay feature on your Approach® Z30 golf laser rangefinder will send ranged distances to your paired compatible Garmin device or the Garmin Golf™ app. Once you have ranged a target with the Approach Z30 rangefinder, the distance will show on your device or in the Garmin Golf app, and the distance will automatically update as you progress through the hole. This feature is useful for blind shots, or being able to provide yardage information for other golfers without the need to laser the target again. See the Garmin Golf Science page for more information.
