How slope works on this model
The COOLSHOT 20i GII uses Slope-adjusted distance.
The laser first measures the direct line-of-sight distance. The slope system then uses elevation information to estimate a playing distance.
Uphill shots generally receive a longer adjusted distance than the direct reading; downhill shots generally receive a shorter adjusted distance.
Slope control and display behavior
Nikon’s official specification confirms Angle Compensation: Yes for the COOLSHOT 20i GII.
The rangefinder can therefore provide elevation-compensated golf distance in addition to basic ranging.
The exact button sequence and display symbols for changing measurement modes are not stated on Nikon’s current product-spec page, so this page does not invent a switch direction or icon.
Tournament use
The COOLSHOT 20i GII is listed as tournament legal when used with slope assistance switched off. Confirm the model is in its permitted non-slope configuration before competitive play.
Slope troubleshooting
No angle-compensated reading appears
Confirm that the COOLSHOT 20i GII is in the appropriate angle-compensation measurement mode, then range a target with a noticeable incline or decline.
Not sure which measurement mode is active
Use the COOLSHOT 20i GII manual for the exact mode indicator and button sequence; Nikon’s current product page confirms angle compensation but not the full on-screen operating sequence.
Adjusted distance changes between readings
Re-range the same point on the target. A different aiming point can change the measured elevation angle and therefore the compensated result.
Preparing for competition
Use the model’s non-slope/actual-distance configuration where required and verify the event’s Local Rules before play.
Using slope correctly
Nikon COOLSHOT 20i GII slope FAQ
Does the Nikon COOLSHOT 20i GII have slope?
Yes. It is listed with Slope-adjusted distance.
How is slope controlled on the Nikon COOLSHOT 20i GII?
This model controls slope through a measurement mode.
Is the Nikon COOLSHOT 20i GII tournament legal?
The COOLSHOT 20i GII is listed as tournament legal when used with slope assistance switched off. Confirm the model is in its permitted non-slope configuration before competitive play.
What does slope do on the Nikon COOLSHOT 20i GII?
It combines direct laser distance with elevation information to estimate an adjusted playing distance.
Why can adjusted distance differ from direct distance?
Direct distance is the line-of-sight measurement. The adjusted value estimates how the elevation change alters the effective playing distance.
Competition and Local Rules take priority. Model revisions can also change controls or indicators. Confirm the exact non-slope configuration on the official Nikon website or manual before competitive play. Visit Nikon.
