I bought this to measure large empty office buildings for the creation of floor plans. The green laser makes it easy to see where the measurement is being taken. I compared with my tape measure and it seems to be spot on. I tried the app, but it wasn't helpful for my workflow. There are many other features that I have tested, but haven't used in the real world. They seem to be really useful.

32 year appraiser/broker I would throw a Leica 7500i (sold that poc actually) in the dirt and take this 100/100 times over that overpriced glitchy paperweight. Works perfect and never crashes thanks Bosch for an incredible unit. Doesn't work well against brown color but neither does red so it's a wash. Much better in bright light though.

The tool is really easy to use, has haptic feedback which turns out to be a game changer, and the built-in level is handy when floors feel sloped and you want to take that measurement as well. The included Lithium ion battery is not reliable and you will need to use AA batteries or carry them as backups. The Li-ion battery has a warning that you can only charge it with a 5v 1amp charge cord, which turns out to be hard to find. I did this and it still errored out with a stop sign when I was measuring houses. I didn't take the plastic battery cover with me, but was able to pop in some AA batteries and just hold them in. Bosch really needs to fix this as a USB-C battery properly implemented is a nice feature. Until then, the tool is amazing, the Li-ion battery is trash.

I was always convinced that these were not that accurate. I do not work in trades but the maintenance team at work use these regularly and gave positive reviews.Since most of the time I use a tape, ruler, dial caliper, and micrometers, when it came to measuring inside of tanks, containers, and a few of landscaping projects I decided to order this one because its Bluetooth connectivity is compatible with the measure on app from Bosch and Magicplan and I thought it was cool.I have not done much over 20 feet but its matched many tape measurements I have verified... That is if you can hold it level and steady which takes a little practice. I could live with out it but this is very handy and convenient. I've used it more than I thought I ever would. I still need a tape for some of the odd little places that the laser cannot measure or there is nothing to aim the unit at that would not sqew the the reading.I did try to measure between buildings, in direct sunlight I could not see the green dot at a long distance and neither could the unit. At dusk however, it did fine seeing it, I just did not have time to check it with the 300 foot tape measure for accuracy. I know with my range finders battery condition, ambient light, dust, rain, and pollen can through you off quite a bit, especially at 700 yards. So this may be effected near its maximum range.Its easy to use mostly, ot will give you a tutorial. I could not figure out how to get the stake out function to work well when trying to install shelf standards on the wall but thats OK. Its probably me and a tape turned out faster for the short distance.The only thing I wish it would do is measure ceiling tile from the floor. I'm thinking that might be a hard program to make.The android app is currently useless unless you want to take a picture and add arrows and measurements... Then email it to yourself. The rest of the program demands exact matching measurements that may or may not exist. This might not be the best for a remodel on a 150+ year old house as nothing is square.I just started using magic plan last night and it appears to like this unit though not as handy as far as remotely taking measurements. But I was able to sketch out my garage which out issue. The Bosch app on the other hand would draw it but not due any calculations because the measurements did not match the way it thought it should.The cats really like it as well. I was surprised that this model came with the rechargeable battery. I have not used it yet, but batteries get expensive.

I highly Recommend the Bosch Laser Distance Measurer. It is very Accurate and has great Battery Life. It even has a digital Bubble Level that works very well.

I LOVE this laser. It pairs to my phone effortlessly, it’s sturdy, and even though it’s a little higher priced, it’s so fast and accurate it’s worth it. I use it all the time for work, and since it uses standard AAA batteries it’s easy to keep charged. The display is clear, and the phone app that it pairs to is intuitive as well.

This distance measure works well when making individual distance measurements and it comes with phone software to help you draw room floor plans but to fully utilise its power you should look for third party software that can generate multi floor whole house floor plans. I used Magicplan, but there are many other choices.

Es una gran herramienta para realizar alzados de proyecto, fácil de usar y se complemente tremendamente bien con la aplicación para trasladar las medidas a un plano.

Esta hermoso en comparación con el anterior GLM40 como el de la foto y que ya poseÃa (que también es bonito y es más compacto). Al usarlo en nuestro terreno donde vamos a construir nuestra casa el láser rojo se pierde con la luz del dÃa, veremos si este láser verde se percibe un poco más. Lo compré por que trae Bluetooth, clip metálico y por que fálsamete indicaban que trae las celdas de ion litio, (el que realmente entregan es un GLM165-27CG), ver el nombre que resalté en la caja.Después del mal sabor de boca puedo ver que es agradable al tacto, tiene buen tamaño, es relativamente fácil de usar, y además me gusta traerlo como “WEARABLE†en su estuche de tela junto a mi navaja suiza grande o mi Leatherman Surge.

En toda la descripción dice que el código es el GLM165-27CGL pero esta última L (baterÃas de litio) es mentira por qué no las trae (incluso en el empaque del código viene sin la L)
