Rangefinder Binoculars with Map integration- is there a list?

[Winchester44]

Does anyone have a list of rangefinding binoculars with mapping integration as in lasing a point that can be identified as a waypoint, downed animal, etc.? I’ve read very short references to some versions of some binoculars adding this recently, but details were thin on what specific models do it and what mapping app. OnX of course would be the ideal.

I don’t have a list, but the current Geovid Pros do, as well as EL Range (with tracking). Not sure about the Geovid Pro SE

I have the Vortex ballistics rangefinder which syncs with the Geoballastics app and will do what you are asking. I experimented once with copying and pasting the coordinates from the GB app into OnX and it wasn't a hassle, though not instant either. That being said, navigating to a waypoint with the GB app isn't a big deal either.

Thanks so much !
Is that the EL range TA?
Which one do you like better?

Vectronix vector X will sync with Google maps and one other but I can’t remember which other map it is.

No worries. Sorry I don’t have direct experience of the two - I’ve just done a fair bit of research on what’s available currently. I actually ended up getting a pair of Geovid 3200.coms off the classifieds here for (IMO) a very good price

Oh wow thanks. I love Leica glass! The color rendition is better than anyone else in opinion.
I spent an hour side by side with the older Swaro 10x42 EL Range vs Leica Ultravid . Both were magnificent! What I member was the Swaro was incredibly sharp all the way to the edge, but the Leica colors were significantly better. Grass was greener, bird beaks just popped, etc. Hard to say one is better but the Leica felt hyper real from a color standpoint.

Could I trouble you for one more question? I see lots of good prices on the classifieds. How does the process work or what his best practice? I’d much prefer to buy from someone here vs eBay.

There isn’t really an official route - it’s just like any other classifieds anywhere. IE - message the seller saying you want to buy. Then turn up with cash if local, or send them the money with extra (their nomination) for postage. If you use PayPal there is buyer protection (for an extra 3%, some payers foot this some don’t). I’m relatively new here, and have only done one transaction that was very smooth. However I’ve bought several times on other forums, mostly doing direct bank transfers (so no buyer protection) and have only had positive experiences.

Don’t know of any that do it with OnX myself. But just wanted to mention there is a rangefinding ability within OnX. So you can do what you want there’s just the extra step. Point phone in ranging directing/activate rangefinder in app. Range distance. Drop point at that distance in the app.
