Garmin - Approach G6 Golf GPS - Black

I have to say that I do like this GPS system. It has good battery life, I have yet to find a course that I play that it doesn't know about. It seems to be accurate and easy to read in bright sunlight. My only real complaint is that I like to keep it in my pocket rather than clipped to my belt. When I do put it in my pocket without locking the screen, I find that it will zoom in on holes when not intended. Locking the screen fixes that, but to lock/unlock the screen, you need to click the power button, which bring up a setup screen. You can lock the screen and then click the power button again. As long as you aren't wanting to check distances for hazards too often, this is ok, but it would be nice to just have a lock/unlock button.

As indicated above when it is working the graphics are easy to see and reasonably accurate; at least for my game. The distance to the green as well as the intermediate hazards is good and provides a positive lay-up control. Battery life is fine; at least two to three rounds without a problem. I am interested primarily in distance measurement and so do not use the other extras such as score keeping; match play etc. so cannot comment on these. My one problem is that the unit freezes during the round either on a certain hole location or it flips to a scoring mode. I have not been able to "reset" the unit to my current location without shutting it off and restarting it. When restarted the unit does reset to the current hole but the process is a pain. Below recommendation would be made "softly"

Love the device. I don't go golfing without it. Yardage seems to be accurate. Wish the maps had more detail.

The battery and charging systems are excellent. I find yardages are not easy to keep reading properly for some unknown reasons9s). Some holes work well but some seem to stop reading the yardages from the ball to green

I replaced my old Sky Caddy with this Garmin G6. A very good move for me, device is very accurate, has all the functionality I need and the best part is all the courses I use are preloaded.

i got one of these in the spring. i don't head to the course without it. friends and family were jealous all summer. i had to get one for my dad for christmas. he is very excited. i haven't been to a course that the garmin didn't already have programmed. battery life is superb, only uses about 20% for a round. there are newer models, but the features don't justify spending any more money in my opinion. I love my G6, I hope it lasts forever.

Only problem is getting starting hole on shotgun starts.

Accurate, quick and easy to get yardage info to green and obstacles on the course. No more guesswork.
