Amazon.com Product Description
Give your game a boost of confidence with Garmin's Approach G5, a rugged, waterproof, touchscreen golf GPS packed with thousands of pre-loaded golf course maps. Approach uses a high-sensitivity GPS receiver to measure individual shot distances and show the exact yardage to fairways, hazards, and greens.  Give your golf game a boost of confidence with the Approach G5. | 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. Keep Score Digitally
Approach doubles as a digital scorecard for your foursome. After the game, you can save and review the scores on your computer at home. Add More Courses
Garmin is constantly adding more courses to their map data, as well as updating and improving their course maps for Approach G5. Download the latest courses from Garmin.com. What's in the Box

 Too many missing courses March 3, 2010
K. Messersmith
I have owned my G5 for almost a year and it works great when I can use it. Garmin has chosen to include only one course within 100 miles of where I live in spite of several requests on my part. Don't buy one of these unless you check out the courses in your area to see that they are included. Courses are being added at a snail's pace. I expect to have a golf app on my Droid before they get around to making this unit usable for me. Too bad, I love the other Garmin products I have.
 Garmin best of GPS's February 28, 2010

Garmin G-5 is all the company claims it is except for the lighting. You need to be in the bright light to read it well.In the shade or on a dark day it's hard to see the info...otherwise there is nothing bad to say about it.
Very Satisfied February 16, 2010

I'm a senior (age 67) and technology sensitive. I wanted a golf gps that would be easy to understand, easy to use, and be helpful to my game. . . I got all of this. The touch screen is so easy and the whole unit is easy to use. I highly recommend the Garmen Approach G5. You will be glad you did!Garmin Approach G5 GPS-Enabled Golf Handheld
 Good but not great February 14, 2010
W. Corrigan (Boston, MA)
I like my Garmin Approach Golf GPS device but don't love it. I love my laser range finder because it can tell me exactly how many yards to the pin. The Garmin device doesn't do this. You have to estimate where the pin is on the green (and can edit where it is) on your approach shots. It would be great if it had a feature where it was tied into the courses pin placement.

I bought the Garmin Approach G5 recently and due to winter weather have only used it on the course twice so far. These were at two different courses and the Garmin made a big difference in my enjoyment of playing each of them. The comfort in knowing the distance to the center of the greens reduced considerably the uncertainty/anxiety of trying to make an estimate based on somewhat obscure course markings. That was my primary reason for getting a range finder. The GPS feature makes it very easy to use and the huge built-in database of courses greatly exceeds my needs. So far, the original set of batteries has not needed replacing. The display is clear and easy to read in cloudy and sunny conditions.
