I have on-rifle rangefinder (impact) and swaro NL Pure binos, but I want a rangefinder more for scouting - being able to put pins in the right place. This seems to come down to having a good onboard compass - anyone have a good one, or do I need to wait until 2026 for the satellite compass models? Ideally want something that outputs to basemap or otherwise so I don't need to copy a lat/long or grid into the notebook.

Also curious about that, hoping the Gen 2 Kiko10K has an improved compass

Me too - Big Jim's review of the Gen 1 showed there was a lot to be desired there.

TheSig Sauer Kilo10K-ABS HD Gen II 10x42mm Rangefinding Binocular has all the onboard ballistics you are looking for and has basemap, I assume that’s what you refer to as basecamp?? It has a great onboard compass with AB Elite tech in there and has gone over great. All the issues with the original 10k were totally corrected in this Gen 2 unit.

Including the low compass accuracy / precision? Even the new Vector X looks to be +- 5 degrees which is more than I would want.

And yes- basemap is what I meant, but OnX/any other app/etc... would be fine too.

With the AB Elite full applied ballistics solution it should run to within 1° accuracy but is all dependent on what is entered for your ballistics into the app.
