Garmin Approach G6 Handheld review

Garmin Approach G6 Handheld review

Garmin Approach G6 Handheld Touchscreen Golf Course GPS


For the last two seasons or so I have been devoted to the Callaway Golf UPRO GPS is that the game is the first with all the problems. I liken it to the device from my Garmin G6 G6 (which I'm looking forward to it) 4 stars, is a great device. I rushed home.


To begin with, G6 is incredibly small, light and has a good feel to it. On-screen elements such as carbon and seems to be about 3 inches long by about 2 screen is bright enough to read outside. (For which I was a bright sunny day), but not too bright to have been washed, the device has a charge of 75% and you pay 100 percent of the lake. It comes with a USB cable and power supply with one of those on board slide. (Where you slide the cap), I loaded my Mac without incident. With a minimum of paper is a short pamphlet.

First I pulled out the 900 for the time and I must say that it took longer to get Callaway GPS. I switched on and off a couple of times to see if I can "run" position, and just when I said screw, I looked once more to come. I thought I was in Kansas City while before discovering. On the contrary, Callaway acquired facter UPRO SATS.

The look and feel of the graphics on the Garmin is very different from Callaway. Callaway is a photo-realistic images superimposed on top of the Garmin GPS data, in contrast, is a graphic cartoon style and not so detailed. If you've used any of their other devices, then go bene.Se're flying over some 'garbage and you know exactly to what extent the mass or the edge of it, you will see green.

UPRO the G6 is a touch screen to move around the screen is quite easy. But I never had a problem moving the cursor on the screen which is usually slow, but wss UPRO especially when the distance profile of the child. It 'very easy on the G6, but as far as I can tell you it is. However, given the view of the Garmin will get you to zoom out and zoom in to see the green. Zoom out to view, zoom in too much and the two perspectives can be a little 'closer. What I can not figure out what to do. (If you have devices that allow it) is to scroll through the hole. If you can move the hole from tee to green, I can not figure out what to do. When I try to move your finger to scroll as you want on your iPhone or iPad, then move around the screen, the new me. (It is not profitable) All yardages are always frustrated me as well. As I said before, UPRO does a good job to give an idea of ​​the distance from the bunker and after your shot too.

Garmin does a good job for you when you place the remote center. Moreover, while the red curve is a yard, blue UPRO be a nice touch, moves the reticle for targeting to the point you are thinking of setting up and immediately calculate the distance traveled. The distance from the green. This is a fluid and seamless UPRO Antigua, which takes some of the same. In this way you can sort of understand where you want to hit "a 7-iron", and just makes you want to see the courtyard and go from there.

Green is a bit 'a disappointment, though, and this is even lower UPRO a green flag, you can move better. (How easy UPRO), but the presentation is a bit 'of confusion. It gives you away. The flag only in closer look. (And maybe get back I can not say with certainty).

Scorecard: I draw, I do not have to pay $ 25 to get to work on this, but it is out of the box, when UPRO G. UPRO all the cards that you can see easily see what is not out ee G6 and can move a card to opt for a different presentation. You have to put points on each hole. But not all cards are placed, will be 1 year or 4. But it does not help, you can refer to the card and press a few buttons. You press the button on the screen of the device to go on a score card, then you press the button that looks like a pencil to fill in your score, then you have to click a few boxes and arrows to go. at home. View so you can advance or auto advance. I do not think this is necessary. I can not just press the right arrow to move the mode indicator in the forum. Tomato, tomoto may be that I'm used to what I know. To see all the numbers, you need to index and press the button to bring up the detail screen.

Statistics monitoring: G6 winner in this competition. This is the pain that I've never done UPRO and is one of the reasons why I'm looking forward to the G6, just below your score, you populate a number of putts. (I think the default is 2), and moves up or down for accurate accounts. I look forward to other statistics, but I have not added any club because I thought it would be too much trouble for what it's worth, and may require you to mark / measure each shot. More to do this so that the jury is out. For some reason that gives me 10 out of 10 fairways, but I never entered anything or set anything, and I certainly did not hit 100 percent of the fairway. The more you have to update: I think the holes are indicated by the arrow left and arrow down and arrow right in the middle. All you have to do is to hit the arrow to indicate that you missed the fairway on the left or right, or hit it. It should be fairly easy and quick to do in the next round, so this seems like a great feature. You can see the indicators and statistics that follow you on your computer connect to the Garmin to your Mac or Windows computer, which is equipped with a drive and you can see who is forced to put the document viewer, HTML for easy viewing. .

Battery: G6 wins hands down again. I do not know how you could get from a single charge. But I can tell you that it is more easily UPRO 3-4. I just have a lot to me UPRO around the USB connector in the car and just kept on the console of my car. I do not have a realistic eating some 'of the battery as well preserved that the course should have a larger file upload Garmin G6 faster, and when I brought it back to the spectator remains scrorecard. 85 percent agree that the drain is for sure. Take two or three times the cost would be much better.

Course: G6 winner of the best reasons I can not wait to G6, because it comes pre-loaded with 25,000 courses that no downloading or synchronization. The Callaway model was recently a book "unlimited", I used to pay for the course in more detail and to consider the plan, which now has no limit, I was involved in length and not in the Mac, the synchronization process program. It has never been faster, and I never understood why it was taking so long to the same subjects. No problem, as the G6, only this could be a reason to go with the G6, it is useful to know that I need to pack and carry.
