Review on ⛳️ Optimized for Search: Garmin Approach G30, Handheld Golf GPS with 2.3-inch Color Touchscreen Display by Tim Ross

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as good as the G6 approach

I recently bought a G30 to replace my G6 which I have been using for over 10 years. The battery just wouldn't hold a charge, and even after replacing it, I still had trouble recharging it mid-round. While the G30 has most of the same features, what I miss most is that it just tracks your hole score. You no longer have to keep track of the number of putts or fairway hits. Downloading the app to your phone allows you to track these stats, but constantly toggling back and forth between your phone and the G30 is very difficult. I love the new Big Numbers mode which simply shows the distance to the front, center and back of the green which is the main reason GPS is used in the first place. I'd probably bet 5 if I hadn't bought G6 first, but chasing putts and fairways seems like something that shouldn't be given up.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
