Digital camera reviews of Garmin Approach G5 GPS-Enabled Golf Handheld

Digital camera Review: Garmin G5
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought the G5 in Nov. '09. I checked the list of courses before buying. All the courses I played in the North Myrtle Beach area were there. The first time I used it the course was NOT there. I called customer service, who was extremely helpful. The G5 needed to be updated with the latest courses. After completing the update, all the courses were now available.
I find the G5 yardage to be extremely accurate. It is better than some of the course markings. If you are laying up before a hazzard, the touch screen feature will give you the exact yardage to it.

I highly reccommend this unit.

Built for Golfers
Weighing in at just 6.8 ounces with batteries and boasting a transflective color 3-inch touchscreen, the Approach is your featherweight fairway guide regardless of the lighting conditions. IPX7 waterproofing means that the device can withstand accidental immersion as well--but thankfully, you'll be avoiding water hazards, of course.

Eliminate the Guesswork
The Approach displays and updates your exact position on stunningly detailed, preloaded course maps throughout the United States. Click to see Garmin's current Approach G5 course listing. Approach's highly sensitive GPS receiver pinpoints your position and removes guesswork from your game. And as you move, Approach automatically updates your position, so you'll always know your yardage. There's no subscription or setup fees, and Approach is compliant with USGA rules.

Touch Your Target
Need to measure distances for your next shot? Touch any point on the sunlight-readable display, and Approach shows the precise distance to that exact spot--fairway; hazard; landing area; or the front, middle, and back of the green.

Get on the Green
Zero in on the pin with Approach's Green View. Just tap the flag on the map to zoom in on the green--then you can drag the flag to position it where you see it, giving you more accurate yardage.

Keep Score Digitally
Approach doubles as a digital scorecard for your foursome. After the game, you can save and review the scores on your computer at home.
