Choosing slope is not just yes or no anymore. You can choose a simple no-slope laser, a tournament-switchable slope laser, a connected smart device or a full GPS-laser hybrid.
Choose the highest level of information you actually want.
Think about menus, pairing and extra information during a round.
These are GPS-style distances rather than a laser-only measurement.
Focus on whether you need a clear assistance-off workflow.
GPS context becomes more useful when you do not know the course.
Choose the architecture you would be happiest carrying for several seasons.
You prefer a straightforward distance-only tool without paying for slope features you do not plan to use.
You want slope when it is allowed but also need a clear way to disable assistance for competition.
You want slope plus connected information such as app data, GPS context, tracking or other smart features.
You want pin-point laser distance plus onboard GPS context such as front/center/back yardages in a single device.
