3 benefits of a Garmin rangefinder with mapping and navigation

January 21, 2026
As a hunter, wildlife enthusiast, researcher, or search and rescue team member, accuracy and precision are key to your outdoor experience. Whether you’re judging the distance between you and big game or navigating to different locations, you’ll be able to see further, see clearer and find your way easier with the Garmin Xero® L60i rangefinder.
With integrated navigation for a superior optics experience, the Xero L60i rangefinder is here to help make your next outdoor excursion a successful one. Here’s a rundown of all it has to offer.
1. Quality optics and long-distance ranging
With premium optics, you’ll see the entire scene in front of you and feel as if you are “right there.”
Xero L60i maximizes awareness and offers a clear, crisp visual of your surroundings with edge-to-edge clarity. Color fidelity and flat field of view features give you the sense that you are immersed in the scene, providing an accurate perspective as well as true, naturally occurring tones.
For low reflectivity targets on days that are particularly sunny, the Xero L60i rangefinder can range animals up to 1,500 yards away and trees and rocks up to 2,000 yards. When exploring during low- to no-light conditions, range animals up to 3,000 yards away and still targets up to 4,000 yards.
2. Advanced mapping
Navigate with confidence with the integrated GPS technology and mapping of Xero L60i. The integrated navigation features help you mark exact and projected waypoints.
Use digital mapping to view a ranged target’s location on the rangefinder or send it to the Garmin Explore™ app, to your compatible Garmin handheld or smartwatch. To mark the location, use the Laser Locate™ feature to project a waypoint, then navigate to it using mapping and graphic overlay on your Garmin Xero L60i or compatible device.
Maybe you want to explore and navigate to a location where certain wildlife is commonly found, but it’s too far to range. With the sensor locate feature, your Xero L60i can project a predicted waypoint and distance using the onboard sensors and mapping.
If you’ve moved to a new vantage point and lost sight of your intended target, use visual recall that leverages the GPS sensors and a graphic overlay to help you lock eyes on your original waypoint. If you’re exploring with a partner and need to help them spot hard-to-see targets, transfer the waypoint to their Xero L60i or other compatible device.
Xero L60i makes it possible for you to efficiently close in on a stalk and explore expansive terrains.
3. Integrated ballistics
For the perfect shot, Xero L60i has integrated Applied Ballistics Ultralight™ solver accessible via the AB Quantum™ app for all the data you need.
Xero L60i uses GNSS positioning, compass and barometric sensors to accurately reach long-range targets. The rangefinder also accounts for the Coriolis effect on the point of impact so you don’t have to adjust for the direction of the shot.
For archers, the new arrow ballistics solver provides details on angle-compensated range, max arrow height and the arrow entry angle at the target.
