Does pretty much what I expected
||Posted .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.

After 6-8 rounds; still a love/hate relationship
||Posted .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"

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

Good product but hard to get yardages on the cours
||Posted .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
No, I would not recommend this to a friendRated 5 out of 5 stars
Easy to use, very accurate
||Posted .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.

can't beat it for the price. fast shipping from bb
||Posted .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.

Q: QuestionCan you locate my rangefinder? I left it at the golf course.I left the rangefinder (300767821) on my golf cart at Deer Creek Golf Course in University Park, IL last week. I called the course but it has not been turned in. Can you locate it?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The Approach G6 is only receives a GPS signal, meaning it does not output any kind of signal that can be tracked or disabled. If you have not already, please contact Garmin support at http://www.garmin.com/support so we can flag your Approach. This helps for if law enforcement reaches out to us with your recovered device. ^DK
