Garmin Approach G5 review

Garmin Approach G5 sm

UPDATE: A new model, the Garmin Approach G3, brings most of the G5’s features in a smaller package and at a lower price.

UPDATE 2: Another new model, the Garmin Approach S1, has a sports watch form factor.

UPDATE 3: An even newer model, the Approach G6, is more pocketable than the G5 and adds worldwide courses.

The Garmin Approach G5 is the first golf GPS created by Garmin in-house (as opposed to the GolfLogixunit, which is built on the eTrex platform with software developed by another company). The Approach G5 is built on the new Garmin Oregon touch-screen platform.

This ruggedized waterproof unit includes thousands of preloaded U.S. golf courses, touch-targeting, manual pin positioning, course preview, digital scorecard, computer scorecard review, and a high-sensitivity receiver.
