Mark targets with Laser Locate and maneuver to them using high-resolution digital mapping, augmented reality and advanced
navigation features for an immersive visual experience
OLATHE, Kan./Jan. 20, 2026/Outdoor
Wire – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) is taking laser rangefinding capabilities
to new horizons with the Xero L60i. This GNSS-enabled rangefinding
monocular combines premium optics with advanced technology and
state-of-the-art sensors for an unparalleled rangefinding
experience. With Xero L60i, users get a sharp, bright view through
augmented reality technology that overlays graphics in full color,
including distance, maps, navigation and more - all while ranging
targets out to 3600 meters through 7X magnification.
“Xero
L60i is a groundbreaking rangefinder that pushes the boundaries of
what’s possible for rangefinding technology. Combining superior
optic quality, robust mapping and integrated navigation features
like Laser Locate, Sensor Locate and Visual Recall, Xero L60i
represents what Garmin does best – integrating revolutionary new
technology with rugged devices – to give hunters, wildlife
enthusiasts, researchers, SAR teams and more the tools they can
depend on to enhance their outdoor experience.” - Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of
Consumer Sales and Marketing
The Xero L60i difference
The Xero L60i is the first and
only laser rangefinder with onboard map-based GPS navigational
capabilities and a high resolution, multi-color display overlaid
into superior optics. This enables features such as:
- Digital Mapping: View current and
ranged locations marked on topographic mapping and use the Xero L60i
to navigate to them.
- Smart Integration: Waypoints can be
shared to the Garmin Explore App on a compatible smartphone, then
shared to a compatible Garmin handheld or wearable device using the
Garmin Share functionality.
- Laser Locate: Leverage the range
taken, along with compass heading and GPS coordinates, to project a
waypoint on the display, then navigate to the waypoint through
directional cues.
- Sensor Locate: When the desired
object is too far to range, built-in GPS, compass, inclinometer and
mapping can calculate and project a waypoint of the intended target,
allowing estimated ranges to targets several miles away.
- Visual Recall: When moving to a new
vantage point after ranging, use on-screen cues to steer your visual
field back to a previously marked waypoint.
Superior optics
Purpose-built to give users the highest
quality optical experience, Xero L60i features fully multicoated,
low-dispersion glass, which provides razor-sharp optics with a flat
field of view, accurate color fidelity and superior light
transmission. The 32mm objective lens was intentionally chosen to
provide a generous exit pupil, low-light performance, and superior
field of view. During dawn or dusk use, an ambient light sensor
automatically controls display brightness, ensuring the visual scene
remains clear.
Precise long-distance ranging
Range animals to 2,775 meters and trees to
3,600. In optimal low-light conditions, the Xero L60i makes it
possible to reach as far as 7,000 meters to retro reflective objects
while achieving accuracy of +/- .25 meters under 1,000 meters and
+/- 1 meter out to maximum laser-ranged distances.
Onboard ballistics
Get access to the onboard Applied Ballistics Ultralight solver via
the AB Quantum app for all the data needed to make the perfect shot.
Thanks to the GPS positioning, temperature, compass, and barometric
sensors, the Xero L60i delivers an accurate ballistic solution for
short- and long-range shooting, including the effect of Coriolis on
the point of impact. Change profiles, setup target cards, and more,
all with a few button taps. Archers will appreciate the all-new
arrow ballistics solver, which provides details on angle compensated
range, max arrow height, and the arrow entry angle at the target.
The Xero L60i is built to withstand the harsh outdoor
conditions with an IPX7 water-resistance rating and runs on two AAA
lithium batteries.
