Garmin Xero® L60i Laser Rangefinder

Garmin Xero® L60i Laser Rangefinder – GPS-Enabled Search, Rescue & Precision Ranging Tool

The Garmin Xero® L60i Laser Rangefinder is a powerful, multi-role ranging and navigation device designed for search and rescue teams, outdoor professionals, land managers, shooters and hunters. Combining long-range laser ranging with GPS mapping, waypoint projection and a full-colour augmented reality display, the Xero L60i allows users to locate, mark, navigate to and safely return from, distant points of interest whether that’s a lost walker, casualty location, wildlife, terrain feature or target.

Know the distance and beyond with the Xero L60i laser rangefinder. This high-performance rangefinder combines premium optics with advanced GPS technology and state-of-the-art sensors for an unmatched range-finding experience. Get a sharp view through a full-colour, high-resolution graphic overlay that displays distance, mapping, navigation and more. Range reflective objects like trees reaches out to 2,000 yards, and range animals out to 1,500 yards with 7X magnification.

Don’t just know the distance, know the precise location with advanced navigation features. Drop a waypoint on locations you’ve ranged to keep track of them or share the locations with your compatible device. Use the graphic overlay with onboard TopoActive mapping to navigate to projected waypoints with the Laser Locate feature.

For locations beyond rangeable distances, use the sensor locate feature to drop a waypoint. If you lose sight of the ranged location while traveling to it, visual recall and the mapping overlay on the display can guide you back to it. 

Far more than a traditional laser rangefinder, the Xero L60i delivers real-time situational awareness, making it an invaluable tool for SAR operations, remote navigation, hill safety and professional fieldwork.

Long-Range Laser Ranging for Search & Recovery

Equipped with high-quality optics and a powerful laser engine, the Garmin Xero® L60i accurately ranges:

• People, animals and natural features at extended distances
• Trees, terrain and landmarks beyond typical handheld GPS visibility
• Reflective objects at extreme range

This capability is ideal for search and rescue scenarios, allowing teams to measure distance to a suspected casualty position, identify safe approach routes, or assess terrain separation before committing resources.

GPS Waypoint Projection & Location Marking

Using Laser Locate™ technology, the Xero L60i enables users to create an exact GPS waypoint for anything they range — including lost walkers, stranded individuals, vehicles or equipment. When line-of-sight laser ranging isn’t possible, Sensor Locate estimates the position using GPS, compass and inclinometer data.

These waypoints can then be:

• Navigated to directly on the device
• Shared with compatible Garmin devices
• Used to guide teams safely back to marked locations

This makes the Xero L60i a highly effective tool for incident coordination and field navigation.

Augmented Reality Display & On-Device Mapping

The integrated full-colour augmented reality viewfinder overlays distance, directional arrows, elevation data and mapping information directly onto what you’re viewing. Built-in TopoActive GPS maps allow users to understand terrain, routes and relative positions instantly — without switching devices.

For search and rescue teams, this provides rapid orientation in unfamiliar terrain, while outdoor users benefit from improved safety and navigation confidence.

Visual Recall for Re-Locating People & Points of Interest

The Visual Recall feature guides users back to previously ranged waypoints using clear on-screen cues. This is particularly valuable when:

• Re-locating a casualty after temporary loss of visual contact
• Returning to a marked position in poor visibility
• Navigating back to a previously identified landmark or observation point

Ballistics & Precision Shooting Capability (Optional Use)

In addition to its SAR and navigation strengths, the Garmin Xero® L60i supports Applied Ballistics® Ultralight via the AB Quantum app. This makes it equally suitable for precision shooting, professional pest control and long-range hunting, with environmental data used to calculate accurate firing solutions when required.

Rugged, Weather-Resistant & Field-Ready

Designed for demanding environments, the Xero L60i features:

• IPX7 water resistance for wet and harsh conditions
• Intuitive, glove-friendly controls
• Automatic display brightness adjustment
• Power via replaceable AAA batteries, ideal for extended field use

Whether carried by a mountain rescue volunteer, estate manager or professional guide, it’s built to perform when conditions are challenging.
