Like not having to spend additional fees to update the database. Great to have all the courses in the unit's database. On-line updates are easy to perform.

5 out of 5 stars   Happy with my Garmin G5
By John on June 18, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin Approach G5 Handheld Golf GPS Receiver (GRAPG5)
Pros: Lots Of Features, Accurate, Easy To Use
Cons:
Other Comments: This is an easy to use golf GPS. Very straightforward. Nice that you can keep score for a foursome. Like how is starts by showing the complete hole. Then as you move closer to the hole, it reduces the view so you get from where you are to the hole - not the whole length. It's great at picking up the course you are on and as you change holes.

By golf nut on June 17, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin Approach G5 Handheld Golf GPS Receiver (GRAPG5)
Pros: Accurate, Easy To Use, Brisk refresh on gps, Fast
Cons:
Other Comments: When the unit is not in active use, the screen dims. I lights up brighter when touched. However, it only seems to do this indoors. In bright sun the screen looks a bit dim. I haven't been able to access any settings for the device to change this. Other than that, it's great.

5 out of 5 stars   Great product and would buy it again
By Mike on May 15, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Garmin Approach G5 Handheld Golf GPS Receiver (GRAPG5)
Pros: Easy To Use, Accurate, Long Range, Fast
Cons: Bulky
Other Comments: I use it a couple of times a week on different golf courses. Very good visibility in sun light conditions and accurate. Would like to go backwards from hole #1 instead of have to go forward through each hole to reach, example - hole #17. Unit could be a little more compact, it is a little bulky in my pocket during the golf round. I don't want to use the belt attachment for fear of losing the unit.
