Best Overall Golf GPS Systems:
The Garmin Approach G5 Touchscreen GPS has a real WOW factor to it. It is a touchscreen GPS with no buttons on it and to use it you simply touch the screen. It comes with thousands of golf courses preloaded on it, has no membership fees and is surprisingly durable (and even waterproof).
By far the coolest feature of the Garmin Approach G5 is the touchscreen. To use it all you need to do is touch any spot on the hole and it will give exact distances to that point from where you are standing on the hole. You can also use the touchscreen to change the flag location on the green to match the spot where the flag is located on that day instead of just giving you the distance the the front, center and back of the green. The 3 inch display also makes it very easy to see the hole and distances.
Conclusion: Easily the coolest golf GPS on the market and the one with the most features. If you want the best of the best, then this is the golf gps for you.
Best Golf GPS System:
The SkyCaddie SGX Golf GPS rates out as one of the best units we reviewed. It comes from SkyCaddie which has been the #1 rangefinder in golf for the last 10 years. It has a durable, sleek design and comes with a large three-inch, easy-to-read, TFT-LCD screen which makes it easy to see on ever the brightest days. It can hold up to 30,000 pre-loaded courses and comes with SkyCaddie’s TruePoint GPS Precision Positioning Technology to give you incredibly precise distances.
One of the best features is SkyCaddie’s IntelliGreen. The patented IntelliGreen technology provides you with an eagle’s view of very green from any point on the golf course. The view of the green rotates to provide front carry, back yardages, and green depth from your approach angle. A very useful feature! The SGX also gives you the ability to record the distances of each shot so you can finally figure out exactly how long you hit each club.
Conclusion: It has all the features you need to help you score better at a very fair price.
