“With the Approach G30, we were able to pack a ton of features
into a streamlined device,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president
of global consumer sales. “The color touchscreen combined with
Touch Targeting, Green View and stat tracking, will give users a
competitive advantage no matter what course they play.”
Like other Garmin golf devices, the Approach G30 comes preloaded
with more than 40,000 courses from all over the world, with
lifetime map updates. Thanks to its sunlight-readable touchscreen
with Big Numbers Mode, the Approach G30 displays yardages in a
large font for at-a-glance viewing, so even with a smaller device,
users can easily see all the important information they need for
each round.
The Approach G30 features a built-in high-sensitivity GPS, so
users will get accurate distances to greens, hazards and doglegs,
even if they’re under heavy tree cover. The Approach G30 also has a
dedicated Green View, which shows the shape of the green, and
allows users to manually position the pin to get the most accurate
distance information.
The Approach G30 is compatible with the Garmin TruSwing™
analyzer, so when paired together, users will have access to data
like swing speed and club path angles, which can be used to improve
swing consistency. In addition to TruSwing compatibility, the
Approach G30 boasts a variety of other connected features. Users
can get smart notifications for incoming calls, texts and more plus
automatic uploads to the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app to save all of
the users’ golf data like scorecards in one place.
The Approach G30 can keep track of scores for up to four
players, and can track more in-depth stats like fairways hit,
greens in regulation and putts per round. Plus, with the Garmin
Connect Mobile app, users can track their overall scores, and see
how they play on each course and even each hole. Users can also go
back and see their average and best score for every course played
with the device.
With up to 15 hours of battery life between charges, the
Approach G30 is ready for a few rounds. It’s designed to withstand
the elements, and has a water rating of IPX7. The Approach G30 is
