Garmin Xero® L60i Laser Rangefinder
Premium laser rangefinder with 7X optics (32mm objective), full-color augmented reality display (960×540), onboard TopoActive maps with GPS navigation, Laser Locate™ waypoint projection, Applied Ballistics® solver, range to 1,500 yards on animals. IPX7, AAA batteries. $2,499.99.
Our Take: The Xero L60i is the first rangefinder that genuinely replaces multiple tools. It’s a premium 7X monocular with excellent glass, a laser rangefinder accurate to 1,500 yards on game, a GPS navigator with full topographic maps, a waypoint system that drops pins on ranged targets, and a ballistic solver — all viewed through a single augmented reality display overlaid on the real-world scene. The key innovation is Laser Locate: you range a target, and the Xero L60i projects a GPS waypoint on the onboard map at that exact location. You can then navigate to it using directional cues in the AR overlay, share the waypoint to your phone or Garmin watch, or use Visual Recall to reacquire the spot if you lose sight of it while moving through terrain. For hunters, this solves the common problem of ranging a target from a glassing position and then struggling to relocate it during the stalk. Sensor Locate extends this beyond laser range — using GPS, compass, inclinometer, and maps to estimate waypoints on distant terrain features. The optics are genuinely premium: fully multicoated low-dispersion glass, 32mm objective for excellent light gathering at dawn and dusk, and a flat field of view with accurate color. The 960×540 DLP display overlays distance, maps, ballistic solutions, and navigation without obscuring the optical view. Applied Ballistics Ultralight provides rifle solutions; Xero Archery ballistics handles bow scenarios. At $2,499.99, this is a significant investment. It’s built for serious hunters and long-range shooters who will use the GPS, mapping, and waypoint features regularly — not just the basic ranging. If you only need distance-to-target without navigation, a conventional rangefinder at a fraction of the price may serve you better. But if you want the most capable rangefinder ever made, with tools that fundamentally change how you scout, range, stalk, and shoot, the Xero L60i is in a class by itself.
Why you’d choose this rangefinder
- Fully multicoated, low-dispersion glass provides razor-sharp optics with a flat field of view, accurate color fidelity, and superior light transmission. The 32mm objective lens delivers a generous exit pupil for exceptional low-light performance at dawn and dusk. Edge-to-edge clarity across the entire field of view.
- A high-resolution 960×540 pixel DLP display overlays full-color graphics directly into your line of sight: distance, GPS coordinates, topographic mapping, navigation cues, waypoints, and ballistic data. Ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness so the overlay remains clear without washing out the optical view.
- Range animals out to 1,500 yards (2,775 meters), trees to 2,000 yards (3,600 meters), and retro-reflective objects to 7,600 yards (7,000 meters) in optimal conditions. Accuracy of ±0.25 meters under 1,000 meters. Garmin’s Precision Lock technology ensures fast, confident target acquisition even at extreme range.
- Range a target and instantly project a GPS waypoint on the onboard map at its exact location. Navigate to the waypoint using the AR mapping overlay, or share it to the Garmin Explore app and transfer to a compatible Garmin handheld or wearable. Visual Recall guides your view back to the marked spot if you lose line of sight.
- Preloaded topographic maps with GNSS positioning let you see your current location and ranged target positions on a map — directly through the optic. Navigate to waypoints with directional cues overlaid on the real-world view. The first and only rangefinder with true onboard map-based GPS navigation.
- Access the AB Ultralight ballistic solver through the AB Quantum app for precise elevation and wind corrections displayed in the graphic overlay. Also includes Xero Archery ballistics for bowhunters with angle-compensated ranging and arrow trajectory data. Set up profiles through the app, see solutions through the optic.
- When targets are beyond laser range, the built-in GPS, compass, inclinometer, and onboard maps calculate an estimated waypoint. This extends effective utility to targets several miles away — useful for scouting distant terrain features, game trails, and ridgelines from a fixed vantage point.
- IPX7 water resistance for use in rain, snow, and harsh conditions. Runs on two standard AAA lithium batteries (approximately 1,400 ranges). Operating temperature range of -4°F to 140°F. Weighs 0.85 lbs with batteries. Built to survive seasons of hard backcountry use.

Who this rangefinder is perfect for
- Western big-game hunters who glass and stalk in mountainous terrain and need to relocate ranged targets after moving through drainages and timber.
- Long-range precision shooters who want ballistic solutions overlaid in the same optic they use to range, without juggling a separate DOPE card or app.
- Bowhunters who want angle-compensated ranging, max arrow height, and Xero Archery ballistics in a premium optical platform.
- Backcountry hunters who want onboard topo maps and GPS navigation in a device they’re already carrying, reducing pack weight and complexity.
- Serious outdoorsmen who want the most advanced rangefinder on the market and will use the GPS, waypoint, and mapping features to their full potential.
You may prefer a simpler rangefinder if…
- You only need basic distance readings and don’t require GPS, mapping, or waypoint features.
- Your shooting distances are under 500 yards and a conventional rangefinder meets your needs.
- Budget is a primary concern — the Xero L60i is a premium investment at $2,499.99.

Xero L60i — Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Xero L60i different from a standard rangefinder?
Standard rangefinders give you a distance number. The Xero L60i gives you distance plus a full-color augmented reality overlay showing your ranged target on a topographic map, GPS waypoint projection, and navigation cues — all visible through the optic in real time. You can range a target, drop a GPS waypoint on it with Laser Locate™, and then navigate to that exact spot using the onboard mapping display. No other rangefinder combines premium 7X optics, onboard TopoActive maps, GNSS positioning, and an AR display in a single handheld unit.
How far can the Xero L60i range?
In optimal conditions: animals out to 1,500 yards (2,775 meters), trees and structures out to 2,000 yards (3,600 meters), and retro-reflective objects out to 7,600 yards (7,000 meters). Accuracy is ±0.25 meters under 1,000 meters and ±1 meter at maximum laser-ranged distances. Beyond direct ranging distance, the Sensor Locate feature uses GPS, compass, inclinometer, and onboard maps to estimate and project waypoints on targets several miles away.
Does it include ballistic solving?
Yes. The Xero L60i provides access to the Applied Ballistics® Ultralight™ solver through the AB Quantum app. This provides shooting solutions — elevation and wind corrections — directly in the graphic overlay display. It also includes Xero Archery ballistics for bowhunters, providing angle-compensated ranging and max arrow height data. Ballistic profile setup is required through the app.
What is Laser Locate?
Laser Locate uses the range measurement, compass heading, and GPS coordinates to project a precise GPS waypoint onto the onboard map at the exact location of your ranged target. You can then navigate to that waypoint using the AR mapping overlay, share it to the Garmin Explore app on your phone, or transfer it to a compatible Garmin handheld or wearable. If you lose sight of the target while approaching, Visual Recall guides your view back to the marked location.
What is Sensor Locate?
When a target is too far to range with the laser, Sensor Locate uses the built-in GPS, compass, inclinometer, and onboard mapping to calculate and project an estimated waypoint on the target. This extends the effective utility of the device well beyond the laser’s maximum range — useful for scouting distant ridgelines, game trails, or terrain features from several miles away.
What batteries does it use and how long do they last?
Two standard AAA lithium batteries (included). Battery life is approximately 1,400 ranges at a 1-second range / 10-second display duty cycle, or about 6 months in typical standby use. AAA lithium batteries are widely available and field-replaceable in seconds — no proprietary charging system needed.
Is it waterproof?
IPX7 rated — submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. It’s designed for use in rain, snow, fog, and rugged backcountry conditions. The operating temperature range is -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C).
What’s in the box?
Xero L60i laser rangefinder, carrying case, 2 AAA lithium batteries, power/data cable, and documentation.
