User Reviews about Garmin Approach G3 GPS-Enabled Golf Handheld

I received the G3 about four weeks ago and I love it. It is an incredibly accurate device so club selection can be done quickly and with total confidence. It is truly simple to use, moments after taking it out of the box, you will feel comfortable with its operation. A few times I have second guessed the G3 only to find out that I was wrong. I am entirely satisfied with my purchase. I also bought the caribiner clip and it works great as well. -- Great Golf Assistant
I own several other Garmin products, Nuvi 650, Nuvi 1350 and Garmin 305 so I expected more from this product. I saw the other reviewers comments about the screen being dim and hard to read, but figured it can't be that bad, but it is. Comparing it side by side with a friends Golf Buddy the G3 screen is very dim. It's easy enough to use and it is accurate. The touch screen is sensitive and if I carry it in my pocket, the next time I refer to it, it is often on some other screen or trying to measure an unintended location. Bottom line, it's OK but I am wishing I had taken a closer look at some of the less expensive units on the market that will do the same thing. -- Double Bogey G3
Shortly after I got my Garmin
approach I discovered that one of the courses I play wasn't on the instrument. I called support and had to wait about 1/2 hour. That was bad but once I got someone to talk to things improved greatly. That person even spoke english!. She was very nice and quite helpful. It turned out that they were just about to update the program and when they did about 3 days later I automatically got an e-mail to download the updated version. I'd heartily recommend this product for all golfers. -- Garmin Approach G#
Bought this for my husband for father's day. I liked the fact that there is no annual fee however, we learned quickly that they may not be a good thing. My father has the golf caddy and can down load any golf course. The two of them went golfing and the Garmin only had one or two VT golf courses listed. It boasts of having over 10,000 courses but, it doesn't appear to have the course we need. They golfed in RI and ran into the same thing. So before you buy just make sure the golf course you will be playing at are offered. Otherwise all the features are fantastic but, it may not be worth forfeiting the annual fee for the ease of not having to download the courses prior to playing. -- Golf made easy
I did a lot of research on golf GPS devices and finally settled on the Garmin Approach G3. I couldn't be happier with my decision. What I would recommend to anyone searching for a golf GPS device is to ask yourself: "What do I really want in a GPS device"? This is what helped me decide on which GPS device to buy. The main reason I purchased the G3 Approach is it is one of the easiest devices to use. When out on the course, the last thing I wanted to do is fool around with a device. I wanted something very simple to use. The Approach is just that! No buttons, no sequences, just touch the screen for what you want.

The distance to the pin is always displayed in the upper right hand corner. If the pin is up front or in the back of the green, just touch the upper right hand corner to zoom in on the green. Touch the location of where the pin is on the green, and the display automatically gives you the new distance to the pin! Touch anywhere on the fairway, and the unit instantly gives you distances to that point. Nothing could be easier! The unit also measures any shot very easily. Touch "Measure Shot" on the screen and begin walking to your ball. The Garmin begins counting the yardage as you walk! It's also very easy to keep score for each person in your foursome. The batteries last two rounds. Rechargeable batteries are highly recommended. The unit is waterproof, so don't worry about it getting wet! It fits easily in your front pocket. I also bought the Garmin clip for my golf bag, but haven't tried that yet.

Some reviews put down the Garmin because they said it was hard to see in the sunlight. However, I have not seen where that's true. Just a little tilt to the screen one way or the other and it becomes easily viewable, even in direct sunlight. I've used other GPS devices but this one is just plain simple and easy to use. Only the Garmin and the Golf Buddy have no annual subscription fees. I chose the Garmin because I love the way is shows you a very clear visual of the whole fairway when standing on the teebox. The Golf Buddy doesn't do this. Also, most GPS devices use an installed rechargeable battery, so if it goes dead, you have no way to replace the battery on the course until you get home to recharge it again! The Garmin uses 2 AA batteries, so I always keep an extra set in my bag. If the batteries die during the round, just pop in two new ones. All data for that round will be saved if you need to change the batteries. One click of the on/off button and it shows you the amount of battery power left. I looked at several other GPS devices: Golf Buddy, Callaway, and the SkyCaddie, but the Garmin just seemed the simplest and easiest to use. And once you get out on the course, you'll realize how important this becomes!

Only one Con about this item that I can think of: At the end of the round, it gives you your score in how many over par your are (ex. +8). I would prefer it actually gave you an actual number (ex. 80).

I would definitely recommend this product to a friend. -- Think About What You Really Want!
