Give your game a boost of confidence with the Garmin® Approach G3, a rugged, waterproof, touchscreen golf device packed with thousands of preloaded 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.
Features
Color touchscreen golf GPS
Fits perfectly in your pocket
Highly sensitive GPS receiver pinpoints your position and removes guesswork from your game; as you move, Approach automatically updates your position, so you'll always know your yardage
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
Green View: Tap the flag on the map to zoom in on the green -- then drag the flag to position it where you see it, giving you more accurate yardage
Doubles as a digital scorecard for your foursome; after the game, you can save and review the scores on your computer at home
No subscriptions or setup fees
Includes belt clip, USB cable, and owner's manual

After 6 months, the LCD went mostly blank; I returned the unit for evaluation. The exterior of the LCD had no marks and I was not aware of it being bumped by anything (it was in the front compartment of cart, w/ no other items). All I can figure is that the LCD just failed. GB wanted $105 to replace the unit with a refurbished unit or $199 for a new unit. A 90 day warranty is pretty worthless. Stay with a very basic unit (no touch screen). If I buy again, it will be a Garmin.
