GLOSSARY

Auto Course Recognition: This is a feature that GPS
rangefinders tend to have. By using GPS technology, the
rangefinder can automatically identify what course you're at
and provide the appropriate course detail.
Auto Hole Advance: This is a feature that GPS rangefinders
have that typically goes hand in hand with the Auto
Course Recognition feature. By using GPS technology, the
rangefinder can automatically identify what hole you're on
and it will provide the appropriate distance. When you've
made the hole, it will automatically move to the next hole
and repeat the process.
Distant Target Priority Mode: This mode uses a far-sighted
or background targeting technology to acquire the straight-
line distance of your target. When ranging, it will ignore
objects in the foreground and will provide the distance of
the furthest target.
Dual Display Technology: Bushnell takes it to the next level
by allowing the user to switch between using the LED/Red
display or the LCD/Black display at the user's discretion.
Dynamic Green Mapping: Front and back distances from
the golfer's line of play.
First Target Priority Mode: This is the main mode that
golf rangefinders are built with. It uses a near-sighted or
foreground targeting technology to acquire the straight-
line distance of your target. When ranging, it will ignore
objects that are in the background and will provide the
distance of the closest target.
Flag/Pin Seeking Mode: Each manufacturer brand has their
own name for this feature. It's a mode that specifically seeks
out and zeros in on the distance to the pin. Sometimes this
is just the standard First Target Priority Mode, so you need
to carefully read what the manufacturer is advertising.
GPS Rangefinders: Global Positioning System (GPS)
rangefinders are exactly what you would expect if a map
and a measuring device had a baby. A basic rangefinder
uses GPS technology to provide golf course detail such as
distances to the flag, hazards, and other targets if it has a
customizable pin placement feature.
GreenView: The GreenView Screen allows the user to select
the pin placement on the green to provide the distance to
the pin instead of the center of green distance.
HoleView: The HoleView Screen allows the user to see the
front and back distances on the green to more accurately
measure the distance to the hole.
PinSeeker Mode: This is Bushnell's name for the primary
targeting mode their rangefinder uses. (See also First
Target Priority Mode).

Rainguard HD: Bushnell treats their optics with a special and
patented coating to protect them from fogging up. The lens
also easily reject snow, sleet, and rain drops by causing them
to break up and scatter when they contact the lens.
Rain Mode: Bushnell Golf is one of few manufacturers that
has a specific mode that compensates for weather such as
rain and snow. The laser rangefinder can reject reflections
off rain drops or snowflakes and still get distances with
successful target acquisition.
Scan Mode: This mode allows you to scan or pan the course
and receive updated distances to targets and objects that
come into view while looking through the rangefinder.
Slope Compensation: Slope technology calculates the angle
and the compensated range to provide an adjusted distance
because of elevation changes. Its purpose is to ensure you
are properly informed of the distance ahead so you can
select the right club to get the proper trajectory to make it
to the hole.
Straight Line Distance: This is the horizontal distance from
you, or rather the device, to the target you're seeking
a distance from. It's the primary form of distance that's
acquired with all tournament legal laser and GPS golf
rangefinders.
USGA Rule 14-3: You'll see this term a lot while in the
market for golf rangefinders. It stands for United States
Golf Association. To be able to legally use rangefinders
in tournaments, the device must comply with the USGA's
measuring device policy found in Rule 14-3.
Vivid Display Technology: This new technology is saved for
Bushnell's premium rangefinders where light transmission,
contrast, and clarity are all better than before. The readouts
are brighter, and the display can be read in any light
condition.
