Garmin just kicked the laser rangefinder game into the next zip code.
Meet the Xero L60i, a GNSS-enabled rangefinding monocular that doesn’t just tell you distance, it overlays mapping, navigation, and ballistic data right inside the optic. If you’ve ever wished your rangefinder acted more like a handheld GPS, this is it.
The Xero L60i ranges targets out to 3,600 meters (and up to 7,000 meters on reflective objects in ideal conditions) through 7X magnification, while projecting a full-color, high-resolution display directly into the glass. Distance, mapping, navigation cues, it’s all layered into your sight picture via augmented reality.

What Makes It Different?
Garmin calls it the first laser rangefinder with onboard map-based GPS navigation, and that’s the headline feature.
- Laser Locate™ uses your ranged distance, compass heading, and GPS coordinates to project a waypoint right on the display, then guides you to it.
- Sensor Locate estimates and marks objects too far to laser directly using GPS, inclinometer, and mapping data.
- Visual Recall helps you reacquire previously ranged targets when you shift positions.
- Digital Mapping shows topographic maps and marked points directly in the monocular.
You can push waypoints to the Garmin Explore™ app and sync them with compatible Garmin handhelds and wearables. For serious hunters, SAR teams, wildlife researchers, or long-range shooters, that integration is huge.
Glass and Ranging Performance
Garmin didn’t skimp on optics. The Xero L60i uses fully multicoated, low-dispersion glass and a 32mm objective lens for strong low-light performance and a generous field of view. An ambient light sensor auto-adjusts display brightness for dawn and dusk use.
Ranging accuracy clocks in at:
- ±0.25 meters under 1,000 meters
- ±1 meter at max laser range
Animals can be ranged to 2,775 meters, trees to 3,600 meters.
Built-In Ballistics
The onboard Applied Ballistics Ultralight™ solver (via AB Quantum app) delivers real-time shooting solutions using GPS position, temperature, barometric pressure, and compass data. Even accounting for Coriolis effect. Archers get a dedicated arrow ballistics solver for angle-compensated range and entry angle data.
Built for the Field
- IPX7 water resistance
- Runs on two AAA lithium batteries
- MSRP: $2,499.99
Bottom line? The Xero L60i isn’t just a rangefinder. It’s a navigation tool, ballistic computer, and mapping device wrapped in premium glass. Garmin just raised the bar and the distance.

The cost guidance is better than expected. If they deliver, the stock could rerate.

Production mix shifting toward USA might help margins if metals stay firm.

Exploration results look promising, but permitting will be the key risk.

If AISC keeps dropping, this becomes investable for me.
