[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2805988, member: 42494"] Not crazy at all. You're not paying $500-1000 for adding the $15 app to your rangefinder. You're paying for the electronics inside the rangefinder to feed the app information to do its calculations. First, you need a more powerful circuit board with a computer and storage than what is required to just laser rangefind. This computer needs to be developed and miniaturized (which is expensive), tested, ruggedized, aligned by trained factory workers, procedures developed for workers to install properly, etc. Second, sensors need to be added to the range finder to detect the environment like elevation, geo location for coriolis, magnetic heading, tilt angle, temperature, etc. Your $2000 phone already has these sensors built in and is a powerful computer with lots of storage so you don't need to pay for them to be added.
