Those of you who have played golf in the past know the importance of having a decent rangefinder to help you with your game. Of course, there are many other uses for rangefinders. You don’t always have to pick up a physical range finder to help you with your measurements. These 3 augmented reality rangefinders for iPhone can more than do the job:

Golfscape GPS Rangefinder: this application is designed specifically for golfers. It uses augmented reality technology to measure the distance to front, center, and back of the green. It covers over 37k courses.

Spyglass for iPhone: it is a fun augmented reality navigation application that turns your iPhone into a compass, gyrocompass, GPS tracker, speedometer, and rangefinder.

Theodolite Pro: a sophisticated augmented reality app for the outdoors. It turns your camera into a compass, map, rangefinder, and a two-axis inclinometer. It gives you a whole new way to see what’s around you.
