[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1548572, member: 8873"] I see this is your first post, welcome aboard. Not picking on the new guy, however I would ask for some clarification on this post. Am I reading this wrong? Are you saying that a GPS unit is faster than a laser or maybe more precise? If so it’s not my experience, a GPS unit gives you an estimate to within the tolerance it is measuring. It has to acquire a signal from several satellites to triangulate your position. They will not be exact. In other words a range estimation tool. A laser range finder is a range determination tool that is nearly exact, within a very small deviation. Plus it is near instantaneous. The only thing that really takes any time is the onboard electronics to calculate the lasers time of flight to and from the target. [/QUOTE]
