It came out of the box with over 27,000 courses already programmed in, so all the courses in my area were on it already. Out of all the GPS units I tested, this one was a lot easier to set up and it had one of the cleanest interfaces. Finally, there were no additional fees and most importantly, it was actually accurate (some were way off so this was nice to see).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s all you wanted to hear then great.

I was constantly misjudging my distances and I knew it was time. The G6 intrigued me because Garmin has always been a quality brand, it came with over 27,000 courses programmed in, and it also tracked stats like greens\/fairways in regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing I noticed about it was that there was no setup process. Some other units out there were a bit more difficult so it was nice to see this work right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interface was great and it gave a nice 2D overview of the hole I was on so I could see bunkers, water, and the green. Honestly, just the additional features alone were pretty badass and I considered getting it for those alone\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could see my shot distance, putts per round, and even track my round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, first impressions were good, but what about performance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did It Perform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the performance isn\u2019t there, there\u2019s really no point in having something like this. I wasn\u2019t expecting it to be perfect or anything like that. I knew a laser rangefinder would be more accurate and I\u2019ve tested other GPS devices that were way off. Surprisingly, the G6 actually was a lot more accurate than I expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I brought my&nbsp;laser rangefinder out with me to test the accuracy and it was pretty much bang on. It wasn\u2019t always a 100% match but plus or minus a few yards is completely fine with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of things that could be improved would be having a longer battery life and making the touch screen a little easier to use. Not a huge deal or anything like that but definitely something to work on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery seemed to last 2-3 rounds which weren\u2019t that bad, but hey, why not make it last longer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The touchscreen is pretty much like any other touch device. It\u2019s a small screen so sometimes it can be a bit tricky touching the thing you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a demo video:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Garmin G6 Approach Golf GPS Review\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_NPnBRtG6UHs\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FNPnBRtG6UHs%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NPnBRtG6UHs\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT3M58S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2012-05-02T10:40:22Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_NPnBRtG6UHs\" data-src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FNPnBRtG6UHs%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Garmin G6 Approach Golf GPS Review<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/NPnBRtG6UHs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FNPnBRtG6UHs%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Garmin G6 Approach Golf GPS Review\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Latest price on amazon.com http:\/\/amzn.to\/1hkgcET or amazon.co.uk http:\/\/amzn.to\/HakUqE Read the Garmin Approach G6 golf gps review at http:\/\/bestgolfgadgets.com\/garmin-g6\/ Keep up to date on https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bestgolfgadgets\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who\u2019s It Best For\/Not For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say the G6 would be for someone who golfs a lot and isn\u2019t worried about spending money on a device like this. It\u2019s definitely not the cheapest option out there, but it does the job well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re someone who golfs every now and then or is tight on a budget, I probably wouldn\u2019t recommend picking something like this up.

Out of all the devices I\u2019ve tested out, this one is definitely near the top of my list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance was there, it was fairly simple to use, and seemed to be well built. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em><strong><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B006SOLIUI?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check the current price on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B006SOLIUI\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Garmin Approach G6 Handheld Touchscreen Golf Course GPS\">Check the current price on Amazon<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me know your thoughts and any questions you have.
