Garmin Approach G3 Golf GPS Unit
Featuring 5,000 preloaded European course maps, unlimited course capacity and enough battery life for three rounds of golf, the lightweight Approach G3 handheld GPS navigator is the ideal companion for golfers looking to give their game a boost of confidence.
Approach G3 Golf GPS
Eliminate the Guesswork
Approach G3's touchscreen interface helps you decide the best tactic to get that perfect shot and improve your score by showing the precise distance to the green or other key course features.
Approach's highly-sensitive GPS receiver pinpoints where you are on the course and automatically updates your position as you move, so you'll always know the yardage to the pin.
Improve your course management with Touch Targeting; Touch any point on the display and Approach G3 shows the precise distance to that exact spot and the subsequent distance to the pin. Knowing your yardage is essential to feel confident laying up or carrying hazards.
To check the pin position, simply touch the top corner of the screen and reposition the flag to correspond with the day's placement. In 'Green View' you can also see the accurate shape of the green and the yardages of any green-side hazards.
Approach G3 displays tree lines so you can work out how far it is to carry a dog leg or a tree obstructing your line to the pin. After launching a drive you can measure its distance using the 'Measure Shot' feature for bragging rights back in the bar.
Touch-targeting
Pocket-sized Golfing Partner
Approach G3 features a 2.6-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen colour display which offers two simple options once powered: Play and Preview. The waterproof and compact unit can be easily used with just one hand and comes with a caribiner clip, which fixes onto your towel loop.
Approach G3 also doubles as a digital scorecard for up to four players and stores your played rounds. You can review all your previous cards at the 19th hole by connecting the Approach to your PC or Mac.
Approach G3 is compliant with USGA and R&A rules.
Caribiner Clip

Have just been given one of these for Christmas.I had a basic golf GPS previously but the extra features of this more than justify the extra cost.Firstly,I no longer have to pay to download courses and there is no annual fee.The European data base is amazing .The Garmin even has the details of a local 9 hole par 3 course in it.I have only used it at my own course at the moment but am impressed by the level of detail.One small bunker ,on a short par 3, is missing but ,otherwise ,all the major course features are shown.I love the ability to zoom in ,on the full colour screen ,to measure the exact distance to a feature or to measure a "lay up " shot.I can also move the pin position on the green but,too be honest ,my game isn't accurate enough to bother.The ability to preview holes on any golf course is another bonus.I have played on or two featureless courses where it was difficult to decide exactly where the green was even though my other GPS told me how far away it was.With the Garmin you get a bird's eye view of every hole.No hazard should ever be a "hidden one" again!It is a pity the unit is not rechargeable and uses two AA batteries.The purchase of a rechargeable batteries is pretty essential.Four batteries and a charger cost me an extra £20 .Despite this, I am very pleased with the Gramin and look forward to using it in future.

I bought the Garmin Approach G3 really on the strength of reviews and Garmins reputation. I can honestly say that neither have let me down, this is an excellect item which is easy to operate it has all the functions you'd want from a golf GPS. There are no course download or annual subscriptions to worry about, I must admit that I was slightly worried wether I'd be able to read the screen as I normally have to wear glasses to read, my worries were unfounded, the on screen text is large and clear the user interface (touch screen) is fantastic and only took a few minutes of ues to get the hang of all the facilities of the G3.
If I ware to be really critical, I would like to have had a soft travel case supplied, I would also like the unit to come with a charger and rechargeable batteries, for the price this would be very little outlay for Garmin. I would not hesitate to recommend this GPS to any of my friends. QUALITY.....

I was initially impressed with the G3, but then realised that the course map data for my club was significantly out of date/wrong. I downloaded the latest updates available, which did not help. I then completed an error report and contacted Garmin, who told me that updates were provided every 3 months and they could not say when my course data would be corrected. I then returned the product as I am aware that other systems have got correct course data for the course that I play.

Horrible device. Bulky, slow & poor screen
Haven't got anything good to say about this as the title says it all. Buy Golfshot on the iphone or android for £20 and get everything the Garmin can do and much much more.

Just Buy It
Wanted a golf GPS for years but as I don't play that often I couldn't justify the prices and would just pester one of the others in the group for yardages from their GPS. Read more

Does what it says on the tin
I've used the G3 a few times at my local course & I'm very impressed. I can't wait to get a chance to use it on courses that I don't get to play a lot. Read more

Excellent gps system. Very easy to use and set up. It has lots of courses loaded on. The only reason i didn't give it five stars is that it drains batteries quickly. Read more
