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.

CustomerReviews

Everything I hoped for and more
The Garmin Approach G5 is terrific. I bought it because of the courses all being pre-loaded and because of the larger screen. I've been using it for six months now. It has been everything I asked for and more. All the many course courses I play in Charlotte and in the greater Myrtle Beach area are already in the unit. I went to Tucson/Phoeninx and all five course I played there were also in the pre-loaded courses. I recently played a course (Red Bridge in Locust, NC) that just opened last August, so not surprisingly, it was not in he pre-load. I was able (for free) to go on line to Garmin and download the most recent set of courses the night before I played and sure enough, the new course was there. The screen is terrific and the touch screen very responsive, even while wearing winter golf gloves. As mentioned by several other reviews the large screen is the best most easily viewed in sunlight of any device I've ever seen, even while wearing polarized sunglasses. It's awesome! I bought Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries and get a very impressive three to four rounds between charges. I also bought the Garmin Colorado cover and there is just enough room to store two spare batteries in the case with the GPS unit. So, if I run out of power, it's easy enough to swap in the two spares and I'm back up and running in a few seconds. I also love the fact that it is waterproof. I just leave it hanging off a carabiner clip on the back of my bag, and no worries if it starts to rain. Overall: No annual fees, courses all pre-loaded, free updates, outstanding display visibility and controls, great battery life (with Eneloops), and low total cost of ownership...It's a dream.

Garmin Approach G5
I love the Garmin Approach. Very easy to use. I have had others comment that the font size should be bigger, but I haven't had problem with it. Very handy knowing exactly how far the next shot is and how far to clear obstacles in front of you. I am a higher handicapper and it has actually improved my score although initially I didn't think it would. Haven't had it long enough to determine battery life but have used it for several rounds and am still using original batteries. Good selection of courses. All that I normally play are on it. Very happy with the purchase.

Excellent Product
Garmin Approach G5 is an excellent product so far. Have used it for three rounds of golf so far and it has helped me greatly figuring out distances on fair shots and to the pin. Love the shot tracking to see the distance I can hit each club. Screen works fine in direct sunlight. Lithium batteries still going after 3 rounds. Has the 3 courses that I play rounds at regularly and others that I am going to play. Fits in my pocket during a round just fine. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Garmin Approach G5 to others. Great Product!!!!!

Great Product
Great Product,



Just finished my first round with the Garmin Approach G5 and I am very satisfied. Provides a very easily used format and the screen is easy to see. Played in a bit of a shower with gps hanging from my bag. Nice to know product is waterproof. The product is so far superior to my SkyCaddie I wish I would have changed sooner. Keeping score and tracking stats is easy. I carry my bag and attached it via a lanyard with no problem. It works as advertised and updating is a snap.
