The Z82 does it all and it's a cheat code when you and your buddies play a new course. My only complaint is that it's not magnetic.","date":"2024-01-01","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_010","source":"bestbuy","sourceUrl":"https://www.bestbuy.com/","author":"Best Buy Reviewer","rating":2,"text":"This rangefinder likes to grab EVERYTHING but the pin. My friend grabs his Bushnell and has a distance in literally 2 seconds.

The real problem is the Z82 always prefers GPS over laser but never tells you which.","date":"2023-03-08","sentiment":"neutral"},{"productId":"prod_010","source":"editorial","sourceUrl":"https://breakingeighty.com/","author":"Breaking Eighty","rating":null,"text":"The most high-tech rangefinder I've ever used.
