Reviews around screen (5.00 of 5)

  • The screen is bright, and the brightness is adjustable, so it is easy to see even in the sun.
  • - The screen is bright enough to use in the sun, although you can adjust the brightness to save battery life
  • More important of all, when you are on the fairway, you can touch the screen you can tell how far targets are just by touching it on the screen.8
  • The screen is easy to read and the distances are accurate

Reviews around app (5.00 of 5)

  • And I have been currently using the GolfPad Pro app on my phone, which I really like.
  • Lots of great smartphone apps out there do the same thing, but I cant see my smartphone screen very well in bright daylight and i hate unlocking my phone constantly on the course.
  • But it is not as full-featured as a full-blown GPS or a good phone app.

Reviews around garmin support (5.00 of 5)

  • Spoke with Garmin Support again on 4/11/17 and the tech states they have no ETA on the software update
  • After I tried everything I could, I contacted Garmin support (which was not easy to locate on the site).
  • Will contact Garmin Support, if they cannot fix remotely, I will be sending back this device

Reviews around hole (5.00 of 5)

  • I never had to reset for the correct hole (which often happens with cart GPS) and I always had instant read
  • This will give you distances to pins, how far to the green, see what the hole looks like and more

Reviews around battery life (5.00 of 5)

  • Battery life is great, my smartphone battery used to be done for the day after 4 hours of gps use, but this unit lasts for at least 10 hours on course.
  • I just wanted to iterate that the battery life on this GPS is great.

Reviews around design (3.61 of 5)

  • The belt clip that comes with it is either not well designed or not well made; difficult to remove from the clip and difficult to clip back in
  • The new compact design allows you to mount it about anywhere, carry it on your belt or slip in in your pocket
  • Another reviewer complained about the belt clip, but I think its very well designed; the retention strength is just right, it makes a positive click sound when its seated completely, and the whole thing is smaller than old school pagers and MUCH lighter weight than hauling around a smartphone in your pocket.
  • The belt clip that comes with it is either not well designed or not well made; difficult to remove from the clip and difficult to clip back in
