15 of 15 people found the following review helpful Garmin Approach G3, 17 Mar 2011 This review is from: Garmin Approach G3 Golf GPS Unit (Electronics) I bought the Garmin Approach G3 really on the strength of reviews and Garmins reputation. I can honestly say that neither have let me down, this is an excellect item which is easy to operate it has all the functions you'd want from a golf GPS. There are no course download or annual subscriptions to worry about, I must admit that I was slightly worried wether I'd be able to read the screen as I normally have to wear glasses to read, my worries were unfounded, the on screen text is large and clear the user interface (touch screen) is fantastic and only took a few minutes of ues to get the hang of all the facilities of the G3. If I ware to be really critical, I would like to have had a soft travel case supplied, I would also like the unit to come with a charger and rechargeable batteries, for the price this would be very little outlay for Garmin. I would not hesitate to recommend this GPS to any of my friends. QUALITY..... Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?
23 of 24 people found the following review helpful  Let down by data and service, 9 Jun 2011 This review is from: Garmin Approach G3 Golf GPS Unit (Electronics) I was initially impressed with the G3, but then realised that the course map data for my club was significantly out of date/wrong. I downloaded the latest updates available, which did not help. I then completed an error report and contacted Garmin, who told me that updates were provided every 3 months and they could not say when my course data would be corrected. I then returned the product as I am aware that other systems have got correct course data for the course that I play.
