This review is from: Garmin Approach G3 Waterproof Touchscreen Golf GPS (Electronics)
I own several other Garmin products, Nuvi 650, Nuvi 1350 and Garmin 305 so I expected more from this product. I saw the other reviewers comments about the screen being dim and hard to read, but figured it can't be that bad, but it is. Comparing it side by side with a friends Golf Buddy the G3 screen is very dim. It's easy enough to use and it is accurate. The touch screen is sensitive and if I carry it in my pocket, the next time I refer to it, it is often on some other screen or trying to measure an unintended location. Bottom line, it's OK but I am wishing I had taken a closer look at some of the less expensive units on the market that will do the same thing.
