## Description

The laser is equipped with default real-time measurement that shows how distances move in relation to the target. The laser is accurate at +/- 1/16 inch and extends up to 165 feet. It is compatible with the Bosch MeasureOn app which provides a clear digital project overview, including floor plans, measurements, photos and notes.

Review: Very useful tool - First impression in-use: Really nice tool. I renovate (not flip) homes so I need fast, accurate measurements. As others have noted it cannot do decimal inches, nor can it do metric (m, cm etc). Aside from that limitation it works very nicely. Chief complaint would be the lack of a smoothing function to account for hand shake; but it does give exceptionally accurate readings and has a threaded base should you wish to use a tripod for stability. Fits nicely in the hand and is easy to use. The level functions also works well. I haven't used bluetooth connectivity yet, but will update when I have done so. Outdoors, over longer distances, the obvious limitations apply; harsh, bright light without shadow becomes a problem over 30 feet, as does holding the device steady enough to get a solid reading; using the (provided) targets and a tripod I was able to get accurate 40 yard measurements (haven't tried further yet) under Arizona sun. Indoors was perfect. The longest uninterrupted run in our house is 69 feet. During daytime measurements the device, handheld and without using targets, had no problem continuously calculating the internal dimensions of our house. The laser is quite bright (although rated at <1mW) and the device does draws a considerable amount of power; so don't expect the batteries to last long in continuous use. I'd say this is primarily a handyman's/hobbyist's tool but that just an opinion - to me this tool is invaluable and I only wish I'd bought one earlier.
Review: Love it so much I bought one for my dad! And he loves it, too! - It doesn't replace a tape measure, but this is the household tool you never knew you needed. Standalone this is a great product. Small, lightweight, doesn't drain batteries too bad between uses, rugged and boxy enough to serve its purpose, and comes with a carrying case that protects the optics. Throw in the Bluetooth with the smartphone app and it can be a serious time-saver, and I'm delighted to say that the Bluetooth is very easy to set up and work with. Pairing is done with the Bluetooth button, not buried in a menu somewhere. The Android app isn't perfect, but it gets the job done well enough for me at least. Primarily, I use it to super-impose measurements onto a photo, something I had to use my Microsoft Surface to do in the past. This function works great as long as you're capturing from the device, and you can even employ min-max operations for more advanced measurements. If you're typing in measurements manually on the app it gets awkward, but still feasible. I love how you can organize measurements by project and label the pictures. I find myself referencing old measurements surprisingly often. Works well enough outdoors as well, though I don't think it would be powerful enough to use in direct sunlight. I've used it to measure out rooms and their features (windows, doors, etc.) and to figure out how long of a garden hose I'd need to buy to reach the corner of my yard. My dad was grateful he could use this to measure the height of his 18' ceiling. Highly recommended product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the glm 50 c and the glm 50 cx ?**
A: I purchased the GLM 50 CX at Lowes. when I opened the packaging the model number on the back of device is a GLM 50 C.  Therefore the only difference is the packaging and a small decal inside that says "Belongs To:"  On a positive note the display is great to read especially without my readers

**Q: can this be set to measure in inches only and round to the nearest 1/8 or 1/16"?**
A: Actually there is a neat trick in the 'Bosch MeasureOn' app (free download for iPhone or Android):
You can set the 'resolution' under Settings to read whatever you wish in the app! (1/16, 1/8, 1/4, etc)
So the unit itself may show 1/32, 1/64, etc but the app on the phone will round to whatever you set it for and it will also announce it (female voice) for you on the phone app!

**Q: Is the Bluetooth open standards ?   Will it work with other Apps or the Android SDK, or is it proprietary and only communicates with Bosch ?**
A: Thank you for your question. The GLM50C will only work with our Bosch apps. We have not tested any other apps to know compatibility. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

**Q: will this measure height outdoors?  ie from the ground to the top of a tree**
A: You can also use the pythagorean theorem measuring.  you measure to the top leaf from a point some distance from the base of the tree, and then the distance to the base of the tree, and the device can calculate the height of that point.  it's a great aid for when you can't get a direct measurement.
