ZL180 Handheld GPS for Surveying, High Precision Rugged Land Surveying Equipment for Ranches, Garden, Farmland and Parking Area Distance Measurement

I bought this for the Longitude and Latitude feature for when I am metal detecting old sites for old coins. I just received this in the mail today and so far it is working fine and I have no complaints. This will help me pinpoint where old home sites were etc.. Thanks man.

The build quality is very nice with a good outdoors fit and finish. Feel like a clone of a Garmin unit. And so far, the performance is very good. The altitude seems a bit off though.

Received what I expected. Quality. Size. Cost.

I have a long background in Real Estate Appraisal and Brokerage and could have used this often during my working career to measure parcels. It can locate approximate property corners, close enough to find survey pins with a metal detector, or to estimate approximate corners when marking off new parcels. All these handheld GPS units have limits on accuracy, some more accurate than others.I have almost no experience with this technology, however when I compare this with similar units, it is very well priced. A product query for a phone app gave the following reply: "This handheld GPS device is compatible with personal computers, but it does not specify compatibility with phone apps." Higher cost (ZL 190?) survey gps units are supported by phone apps and data can be downloaded. This unit has more limited capabilities. It does however utilize two satellite systems for greater accuracy. The vendor cautions: "NOTE: Recommended to measure an area above 0.16 acres and distance above 328 ft. The larger the measurement range, the smaller the error." This is not meant for measuring short distances or very small tracts. That said, for anything over 1/4 acre, it will be great.Wait until it acquires a good signal from many satellites per the manual, and you will get good results. The display is great. It is bright, even in the sun, and easy to read. I think I will get to like this unit even more as I get familiar with it.Based on the information presented and the capabilities I have already seen, I can recommend this Very Good Handheld GPS Survey Location Tool. Just understand that it has limits, but performs exceedingly well with those limitations, which can be expected at this price point.

This device seems perfect for my needs.As someone who regularly measures land for farming and property planning, I’m blown away by its pinpoint accuracy – it consistently matches professional-grade GPS results without the complexity. The one-button operation and intuitive interface make it perfect for anyone, whether you’re a tech-savvy professional or a first-time user. No manuals needed!What truly stands out is how it saves time: just walk the perimeter, press a button, and get instant acreage/hectare readings. Even on uneven terrain, the measurements stay reliable.

Not accurate at all. Compared 50’ to a tape measure and this said 43’ so basically useless. The alt and long continue moving even when you arent moving

I've been using my Garmin for more than years, but decided to try this brand to see how accurate is thia device, but it keeps giving me satellite connection error which is inside city, so this problem effects on accuracy as well and didn't satisfied me.

This GPS is fairly easy to work, and the quality is excellent, with a nice quality plastic body, a bright and easy to read screen, and nice-feeling buttons. It's USB-C rechargeable (yay!) and has a replaceable battery.It found my location pretty rapidly when outside under clear sky, and did so fairly accurately. However, when I walked in a square pattern around my property, the shape displayed on the screen was more like a crushed circle with waves in it, so I'm not certain how exact it is. It was, admittedly, a rather small-ish square, so I don't yet know how well it would do on an acre-size measurement.It's perhaps best to use for GPS waypoint mapping if you're out in the wilderness and want to save a location. It does have the ability to calculate land value if you enter the proper amount and walk the perimeter, which is kind of neat. But more testing is required on a larger scale to determine just how accurate it is. Overall, I like it, just double check your measurements.
