Check out Swarovski's new EL Range.
With everyone shooting animals further away, they came up with a tracking assist feature. I think it uses gps, your rangefinder's compass and laser to mark the spot where the animal was when you shot it...
Sounds like a no brainer, but no one has thought of it before.

I play a hunting video game aptly named, The Hunter and that feature was built into the rangefinder more than 10 years ago. You would range an animal and location showed up on your GPS. I always wondered why no one did it real life. You just need your current location, a direction and a distance.... easy math.

That's cool, would work good for a long stock where things always look way different when you get there...

I don't know if that feature is worth the added $800 tho. Hard to pony up the $4100 plus tax already.
