Some products improve what already exists. Others redefine the category entirely.
The Garmin Xero® L60i is firmly in the second camp.
This isn’t just a laser rangefinder. It’s not just a GPS. It’s not just a ballistic calculator. The L60i is a futuristic field companion that blends optics, satellite navigation, environmental sensing and augmented reality into a single, intelligent device — built not only for shooters and hunters, but for any serious outdoorsman who demands precision and awareness in wild terrain.
A Glimpse Into the Future of Field Optics
The first thing that sets the L60i apart is what you see when you look through it.
Instead of a basic distance readout, you’re met with a full-colour, high-resolution augmented-reality display projected directly into your field of view. Distance, mapping, compass headings, elevation profiles, ballistic data and navigation overlays appear seamlessly within the landscape itself.
It feels less like using a rangefinder — and more like stepping into a heads-up display from the future.
Powered by a 960 × 540 DLP display, environmental sensors and GNSS positioning, the L60i doesn’t just observe terrain. It understands it.
Beyond Distance: Understanding the Landscape
Yes, the L60i delivers exceptional ranging performance:
● Animals: up to 1,500 yards (full sun)
● Trees: up to 2,000 yards (full sun)
● Retro-reflective targets: up to 7,600 yards (optimal conditions)
● Accuracy: ±0.25 m up to 1,000 m
But distance is just the starting point.
With Laser Locate™, you can instantly drop a GPS waypoint on anything you range — that distant peak, a downed animal, a campsite, a landmark or a hazard.
With Sensor Locate, you can even project waypoints beyond visible or rangeable objects.
This transforms the L60i from a measuring tool into a terrain intelligence system.
Not Just for Shooters — Built for All Outdoorsmen
While precision shooters and long-range hunters will appreciate the integrated Applied Ballistics® Ultralight solver, the L60i’s capabilities extend far beyond the shooting world.
For hikers, mountaineers and backcountry explorers:
● Onboard TopoActive mapping
● 3-axis compass
● Elevation profiles
● Area calculation
● Point-to-point distance measurement
● Route storage and navigation
For guides and professional outdoorsmen:
● Mark and share locations
● Navigate directly through the optic
● Use Visual Recall to relocate points after losing line of sight
● Sync waypoints to compatible Garmin watches and handheld units via Garmin Share
For search teams, land managers or surveyors:
● Pinpoint precision (±0.1 m)
● Laser beam divergence of 0.5 × 0.5 mrad
● Environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, barometer, tilt)
● 32 GB internal memory for mapping data
The L60i becomes a central command tool for navigating, documenting and interacting with complex terrain.
A GPS That Happens to Be a Rangefinder
Many people ask: Is it just a rangefinder, or does it replace a GPS?
It does both.
With full onboard mapping, waypoint projection, track storage and navigation guidance displayed directly in your optic, the L60i eliminates the need to switch between devices.
It reduces gear. It reduces distraction. It increases situational awareness.
And in the outdoors, awareness is everything.
Designed for Real-World Conditions
Futuristic doesn’t mean fragile.
The Xero L60i is built for harsh environments:
● IPX7 waterproof rating
● Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C
● Powered by 2 AAA lithium batteries (up to 1,400 ranges)
● USB-C® connectivity
● Compact and durable at 0.849 lbs (with batteries)
It’s as comfortable on a windswept ridgeline as it is in dense timber or open desert.
Connected and Collaborative
With Garmin Share, you can send waypoints and locations directly to compatible Garmin devices, including:
● Tactix®
● Fēnix®
● Epix™
● Enduro™
● MARQ®
● GPSMAP®
● Montana®
● Alpha® series
The Evolution of Outdoor Technology
The Garmin Xero L60i represents a shift in how we interact with the natural world.
It merges:
● Optics
● Satellite navigation
● Environmental sensing
● Augmented reality
● Ballistic intelligence
● Wireless connectivity
It’s not simply about knowing how far something is. It’s about knowing where you are, where it is and how everything connects across the landscape.
For shooters, it delivers precision. For hunters, confidence. For explorers, awareness. For professionals, control.
The L60i isn’t just a rangefinder — it’s a glimpse at the future of the outdoors.
