Garmin Approach G5 Golf GPS – See Sale Price
The Garmin G5 Golf GPS Device is one of most accurate, simple and very durable golf GPS devices available.
First, there are no buttons on this device, except the power button. Everything is done via a full touch screen, this gives it a very simple interface providing a user friendly experience. The Garmnin G5 is also very durable and is built to withstand the elements, its waterproof and is build very solidly – that if you drop it accidentally, it will be fine.
Garmin is the world leader in GPS devices, they have best receivers and GPS infrastructure, this ensures that you get very precise distance information on the course.
(Garmin really makes it really simple and easy with the G5, but if you want an even more simple device check out the Garmin Approach Golf GPS Watch.)
Besides the simple functionality and accuracy the Garmin G5 has a ton of features:
Touch-targeting: touch a spot on the course displayed to see the distance to any point
Manual pin positioning: easy tap-and-drag the flag on green to adjust for a more precise yardage
Course preview: have the ability to see detailed, hole-by-hole preview
Digital scorecard: you can keep score for up to four players, and save thousands of rounds
Computer scorecard review: upload your data via a USB port to your computer to save and analyze
USGA and R&A compliant: you can use this within the legal rules of golf
Overall, this is a straightforward Golf GPS, you don’t have to get downloads or subscriptions because all the courses are already pre-loaded into the device. It is very durable, and Garmin has one of the best GPS technologies (and that’s why they are the leaders in GPS navigation for the car industry). The touchscreen is excellent and their interface is not cluttered and is just very fast to use. I also like that the G5 runs on two AA batteries, you don’t have re-charge the device, I find this more convenient. You can just carry spare batteries, or if you want to be more eco-friendly just get rechargeable batteries.
