Mileseey Golf brings next-generation GenePro G1 rangefinder to market
Mileseey Golf brings next-generation GenePro G1 rangefinder to market
One of the traits commonly found in revolutionary products is that they anticipate needs consumers didn't even realize they had.
A golfer, for example, might have a nagging sense in the back of his mind that his rangefinder should have additional features that would benefit his game, but he can't quite put his finger on what those features might be. So it falls to visionary designers to identify the problems, solve them and bring next-generation products to market.
That brings us to the newest addition to the Mileseey Golf line of rangefinders, the GenePro G1.
Mileseey has a much-deserved reputation for pushing the envelope with its leading-edge technologies that power elegantly designed products, whether in sport optics or intelligent metering. That approach is reflected in the GenePro G1, the pinnacle product of the company's golf technology division, which was formed in 2014 to bring high-performance, user-friendly rangefinders to avid golfers.
What distinguishes the GenePro G1 rangefinder is not necessarily one feature but rather a collection of cutting-edge features that have been incorporated into an attractive, functional, ergonomically pleasing design.
Start with the 2.13-inch AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) touch screen, which delivers a vibrant, high-contrast display of the hole you're playing. Mileseey Golf bills this as the first hybrid rangefinder – fusing GPS and laser technologies – with the largest touch screen ever introduced in the North American market. That screen gives golfers access to sharp imagery of more than 43,000 courses worldwide.
GenePro G1's powerful GPS syncs to the touch screen and illustrates an arc of the course map, providing players with information on what hazards are in play and where to play their next shot. It also provides dynamic front/center/back yardages on approaches to the greens, while the Pin Pointer technology removes the uncertainty created by blind shots.
Golfers will never have to question their yardages on even the longest of shots. GenePro G1 has a whopping 1,300-yard range, with 600-yard flag lock, 6x magnification, instantaneous vibration feedback and measurements that are accurate to within a half-yard.
GenePro G1's next-level SmartSlope technology doesn't just take elevation into account; it takes a holistic approach when providing adjusted yardages. It displays real-time data on environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity and altitude, that can impact the distance the ball will travel.
The Rotating Slope Switch allows golfers to quickly toggle on and off. Importantly, when it's toggled to the 'on' position, the Slope Switch is red; for tournament play, that's a vivid reminder to turn off that feature.
The innovations don't end there. Mileseey's Ball-to-Pin technology takes the guesswork out of yardages, no matter where you are on the golf course. For instance, if you find your view blocked by large vegetation, the Ball-to-Pin mode will provide measurements to the flag and hazards.
For the serious player who's always looking for an edge, the GenePro G1 syncs to the Mileseey Golf app, allowing you to do a post-round analysis of each shot you hit.
All of those features make the GenePro G1 an ideal tool for competitive golfers preparing for tournament play, but also serious amateurs and tech-savvy players who always are looking for an edge.
The GenePro G1 is currently in the crowdfunding stage. You can learn more about that here. The GenePro G1 is available at an early-bird price of $349.99, and it comes with a 10-year warranty, reflecting the durability of the sturdy but lightweight design.

Grab your cooler, pack the car: The road trip calls this summer as gas prices fall and economic fears linger
Country roads, take me to vacation. The open road is a preferable getaway this summer for Americans who discovered a love for road trips during the pandemic, are feeling economic uncertainty, or want to take advantage of tumbling gas prices. Road trips also offer a degree of certainty — you won't find yourself abroad as tariffs or border policies change, or the latest flight chaos strikes. James Willamor, 45, is setting out on a 4,500-mile road trip to kick off summer. It's become a passion for him; he estimates he spends between 30 and 40 nights a year camping on both short and long trips. Depending on the length of the trip and gas prices, he spends an estimated $500 to $800 on gas, and he tries to optimize by always using a points credit card and other gas rewards programs. He also plans out meals where he can and carries a small portable refrigerator filled with meats, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables. His favorite part of hitting the road is watching the landscape gradually change, going from rivers to rolling hills to mountains. "It's a lot different than in times when I've flown somewhere and you get on the plane and you get off and you're in a totally different biome," he said. "But spending three or four days driving across and seeing the gradual change is probably my favorite part." Cheaper gas and more driving this summer Already, record numbers of Americans hit the road for the first big vacation weekend of the year, per AAA. It projected that over 1 million more Americans would be traveling by car Memorial Day Weekend compared to last year — an increase from 38.2 million auto travelers in 2024 to 39.4 million this year. The urge to stay domestic seems like it'll continue through the Fourth of July: Airbnb said that bookings within 300 miles of vacationers' origin spots are up 32% over the Fourth of July weekend compared to 2024. Enterprise Mobility, whose brands include Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo, told BI that the company is seeing a year-over-year increase in expected leisure travel from their non-airport locations in both June and July — what Enterprise deemed a signal of customers leaning into road trips this summer. "People are continuing to prioritize travel, and our research shows an increased interest in road trips this summer," Bridget Long, senior vice president of North American operations at Enterprise Mobility, said in a statement. At the same time, gas prices have come down from 2022-era highs, making it more affordable to hit the road. Lillian Rafson, CEO of travel agency Pack Up + Go, which plans US-based surprise vacations — where destinations are unknown and travelers give an overview of what they're interested in — said that the last few months have seen a surge of interest in road trip packages, compared to last year. Already, 47% of vacations booked through the agency in June were road trips, compared to 27% last year. Rafson said that during times of perceived economic uncertainty, more travelers opt for her firm's minimum budget bookings rather than their more expensive offerings. She said that during last November's election season, minimum-cost bookings surged; that happened yet again in April and May. "Anecdotally, our team mentioned that we've had a few trips cancelled due to layoffs or fear of layoffs, but not a statistically significant number," Rafson said. "Overall, I think people are quietly opting for a lower-budget road trip instead of a major summer trip. But they're still traveling! Just slightly differently." Saying no to flying For some, flying might not be worth it right now, given recent stories of safety and timing concerns. "Right now, I live very close to Newark Airport, and the craziest delays are happening with the air traffic control and stuff — I mean, that alone is making people iffy about traveling," Dan Pieraccini, an avid domestic traveler and road tripper based in New Jersey, said. Some travelers are opting for road trips just because they want to; Scott Reing, 37, is planning a 2,500-mile-long road trip for his family to the Grand Canyon to commemorate his wedding anniversary. His family alternates between bigger vacations abroad and domestic trips to national parks. This year happened to be a national parks year. In theory, he said, some of the appeal of the domestic trip this time around is price, although the cost will still be hefty with the amount of time they're spending on the road. "You kind of have more control over what you're spending when you're doing a road trip versus going to an all-inclusive or going on a cruise or flying abroad," Reing said. "You really have the choice to stay in a motel or a campsite one night or two nights or 10 nights versus something else." Even so, Reing said he isn't broadly rethinking travel or travel spending; next year, he could end up somewhere abroad, like Japan. Indeed, many Americans are still opting for European or international travel this summer, with some powering through uncertainties and deciding it's worth it. But the road is still calling. Cathy Keibler, a 65-year-old retiree in Indiana, is eagerly planning her first major road trip across the country. She wants to see the country, but has no desire to fly anymore. She and her husband have a new Prius, so they're not too concerned about gas expenses and are planning to bring a cooler to mitigate food costs. Keibler also wants to get a closer view of what's happening in her own country; with unrest and uncertainty, a road trip offers an opportunity to see firsthand how that's reflected in different corners of the nation. "Part of the more idealistic reason for making this road trip is to maybe try to get in touch a little bit with really what's happening out there in the country in a way that we can't really do when we're just driving on the interstates and maybe pulling over at a McDonald's," she said.

Starbucks service plan prompts surprising analyst stock-price-target revisions
Starbucks service plan prompts surprising analyst stock-price-target revisions originally appeared on TheStreet. Have a seat and let Brian Niccol tell you all about his big ideas for Starbucks () . Actually, seats are a part of the "Back to Starbucks" plan as the chief executive of the world's largest coffee chain looks to turn around a decline in foot traffic and sales. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰 Niccol, who joined from Chipotle in September, said that pulling back on in-store seating was one of the company's biggest missteps, and he wants to fix that. "We had this strategy that I think was just a misfire of a purpose-driven store. It's like, well, the purpose is community connection," Niccol told Axios. "I think that's what got us off our game. We've got to get the seats back." Niccol made his comments during the company's Leadership Experience in Las Vegas, where Starbucks hosted more than 14,000 store managers. "It's time for us to lead again," Niccol told the crowd. "We're going to lead in warm, welcoming coffee houses. We're going to lead in innovation. Innovation to our menu." In the past several months Starbucks reintroduced condiment bars and ceramic mugs for in-house sipping, brought back handwritten notes on to-go cups and bags to foster better customer-barista connections, and returned free in-café refills to make its coffee shops feel more like homes. The Seattle coffee giant also refreshed and simplified its menu, discontinuing 13 items and eliminating extra charges for milk alternatives. In addition, the company plans to add full-time assistant managers across the U.S. to help busy stores run more smoothly. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz reportedly was so thrilled with the strategy that he "did a cartwheel in my living room" the first time he heard about it. "It was so brilliant. It's short, to the point and it's exactly to the tip of the spear who we should be and who we are," Schultz said. "And we are, above all else, a coffee company."Niccol told Reuters that he would accelerate the rollout of the coffeehouse chain's new staffing and service model, aiming for all North American stores by summer's end. The initial plan called for just a third of U.S. stores by fiscal year-end. The Green Apron model includes in-store technology to more efficiently sequence orders, as well as dedicated baristas for drive-through orders. Starbucks initially rolled out the service changes to 700 stores. From a single store in Seattle in 1971, the company now has more than 40,000 outlets worldwide. During the company's April 29 quarterly earnings call, Niccol said it would be introduced in a third of U.S. stores by fiscal year-end. Starbucks used the Las Vegas event to unveil a generative AI assistant created with Microsoft () Azure's OpenAI, according to CNBC. It plans to roll out the system to 35 locations in June. A broad launch of what it calls the Green Dot Assist platform across the U.S. and Canada is slated for the company's fiscal 2026, which starts in the fall. Starbucks stock is up 3.1% in 2025 and up nearly 18% from a year ago. Citi analyst Jon Tower raised the investment firm's price target on Starbucks to $95 from $84 and affirmed a neutral rating on the shares, according to The Fly. The analyst also added an "upside 90-day short-term view" on Starbucks. The company's pull-forward of labor investment back into stores will likely lead traffic to recover more quickly, the analyst estimates. Tower said that while the cost of this investment remains unclear, the improvement in one-year traffic trends, particularly given soft comparisons, will likely drive the shares higher in the near he also said Starbucks's turnaround narrative remains "this will take time," as sales are emphasized before profit margins, and its long-term profitability remains unclear. RBC Capital boosted its price target on Starbucks to $100 from $95 while reiterating an outperform rating. The firm said it was encouraged following the presentations at the company's Leadership Experience. The accelerated labor deployment in particular suggests that management has increased confidence in their new strategy, translating to potential upside in revenue, RBC said. Ahead of the event, investors' expectations around fiscal 2026 earnings per share were depressed, since they considered that it would be another investment year, followed by more material traffic improvement in fiscal 2027, RBC service plan prompts surprising analyst stock-price-target revisions first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
