Rangefinder display screen

A golf rangefinder system comprises a GPS golf rangefinder device and an accessory. The golf rangefinder device comprises a housing defining a forward housing portion with a display screen viewable therein, and a rearward housing portion with a convexity projecting therefrom. A magnet centrally positioned at a distal most portion of the convexity. The accessory includes a clip with a hook-shaped member and a receptacle portion for mating with the convexity of the housing of the golf rangefinder device. A second magnet is positioned in a recess in the receptacle portion. The receptacle portion configured as a concavity and conforming to the convexity of the rangefinder device whereby when the accessory and rangefinder device are in proximity with each other they are magnetically coupled with the convexity positioned in the concavity. The accessory and rangefinder slidably rotatable and movable with respect to one another while still maintaining the magnetic coupling.

Audio systems and methods for obtaining location information are disclosed. A portable, wireless speaker may include a beacon that a user may activate to remotely trigger a request for shot information, which may include location information of the user or speaker. The beacon may be wirelessly coupled to the speaker. Notably, the beacon may comprise an earpiece such as an earbud or pair of earbuds. The speaker may receive location information from a remote device, such as a GPS-enabled mobile phone. The shot information may be converted into an audio format for playback by the speaker. The speaker may pause the playback of the speaker to play out the shot information. The system may also comprise a visual display.

Location-enabled portable audio system

A laser rangefinder may include a housing supporting an objective optic, an eyepiece optic, and a view-thru display. The view-thru display may be located along an optical path between the objective optic and the eyepiece optic. The view-thru display may comprise a first transparent sheet and a plurality of electrodes disposed on a first inner surface of the first transparent sheet. The view-thru display may be disposed rearward of the objective optic and the eyepiece optic may be disposed rearward of the view-thru display assembly so that a scene or subject can be viewed through the eyepiece optic and a plurality of display elements selectively displayed by the view-thru display assembly are superimposed on the scene or subject being viewed. Information regarding wind in proximity to the laser rangefinder may be presented on the view-thru display.
