Garmin G5 Review

Unlike some range finding equipment, the G5 does not require a subscription in order to access the mapping data and Garmin takes this ethos of sharing even further by allowing G5 owners to download the extra maps that they add to their catalogue whenever they become available.
This means that if your local club is not currently covered, it may well be in the future and when that day comes you will be able to update the Garmin Approach G5 with the necessary course map without having to pay a penny.

The most important feature of the Garmin Approach G5 aside from its GPS capabilities is its construction.
Finished in an unassuming grey and housed in a rounded shell that fits well into the palm, the G5 is fully waterproof, which means it can continue to work even when the weather takes a turn for the worse and you will not have to retreat to the clubhouse every time a cloud appears on the horizon.

This waterproofing is coupled with a solid, sturdy design that uses premium materials to ensure that the whole of the G5 will remain intact over a long period of use.

With the Garmin Approach G5 at your fingertips you will be able to update a running analysis of your stats for a given game, letting you assess your strengths and highlight your weak points.
It will also work out the average distance over which you are able to drive the ball from the fairway, which will prove to be useful for golfing enthusiasts and interested amateurs alike.

As well as analysing your own game, you can use the Garmin G5 to tot up the scores for a group of four players, which you can then transfer over to your computer for a reminder of past glories.

The Garmin Approach G5's touchscreen interface lets you instantly indicate an area of the map to which you would like to know the distance and the mapping is detailed enough to identify hazards and the location of tree lines to help you line up shots and avoid getting bogged down in a bunker or the rough.

When you make it to the green you will be able to zoom in and get an even better idea of how far you have to go and how best to go about getting the ball into the often illusive hole.

Overall its rugged design, accurate measurements, extra features and simple, intuitive touchscreen interface make the Garmin G5 an easily recommendable gadget.

Note: The Garmin Approach G5 is powered by 2AA batteries. It is recommended that you use rechargeable NiMH or Lithium batteries to reduce running costs.
