This provides exact position on the course eliminating the guesswork from your game, and the Approach is compliant with USGA rules. Touching a spot on the screen will give you the distance from your current location making it easy to plan your next shot and avoid hazards. The ability to zoom in on the green by tapping on the flag, and then move it to the current location gives more accurate yardage. The Approach G5 also doubles as a digital scorecard for a foursome, with the ability to review scores on your computer at home. Garmin is also constantly adding more courses and you can easily dowload newest maps to the G5 for free. Belt clip included.
