Is the Z82 no longer supported because of new Approach coming?

There has been known and reported issues with the latest 4.40 firmware.

The multiple reported issues are that the the pin location measured by the laser falls many times out of the Font, Middle and Back distances reported by the GPS intergration.

It looks like the GPS F,M,B, take precedent over the laser measurement.

This is also reported in Youtube review clips of the Z82.

Also the elevation corrections are many times not accurate.

The z82 switches sometimes during the round off and is a real battery drain.

For over one year there has no new firmware released addressing these issues.

Because of this i can not use the laser with the hybrid/advanced the 2-D GPS overlay maps mode (Sight Something).

The whole reason and unique point of the Z82 is obsolete now.

Can we expect a firmware update soon?

Is the Z82 no longer supported and has it reach its end of support cycle.

Is there any new upgraded Z rangefinder in the pipe line?

    The Approach Z82 is still supported, and updates to the software are not being discontinued. Updates to the Approach Z82 will continue to be released in the same manner that other Garmin products receive...which is on an unscheduled basis as improvements to the device are developed for release. 

    Those with any concerns regarding their Approach Z82 should ensure their software is up to date on the most current version for both software and course mapping. Then if concerns continue, you should reach out to Garmin Support to discuss the issue so further solutions can be provided based on the acquisition of more information regarding the concern.
