Garmin unveils revolutionary Xero L60i laser rangefinder with superior optics, GPS and onboard mapping technology 

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 ExploreApp 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 Ultralightsolver 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. See it on display at the Garmin booth, #10119, during SHOT  Show 2026. It’s available now for $2,499.99.
