The elegantly designed, lightweight, and durable Approach G8 features a 3-inch multi-touch color display and is one of our most versatile handheld devices. It includes precise distances for over 30,000 international golf courses with free lifetime map updates via Wi-Fi. Additionally, it offers PlaysLike distances, smart notifications, PinPointer assistance for shots without a direct line of sight to the green, a battery life of 15 hours, and access to the online golf community at Garmin Connect for sharing and comparing data.

The Approach G8 is compact yet sophisticated, providing a variety of new features to help you conquer any golf course with confidence. PlaysLike distances show golfers the distance to the target while compensating for elevation changes. The smartphone notification feature ensures that you receive emails, SMS messages, and alerts directly on the device—even in the middle of the fairway. Messages are transmitted via a wireless signal between the G8 and your iPhone 4s or a newer version. When you want to read them, the entire text is displayed on the device.

Garmin Connect offers an online golf community. So play a round first, then share and compare your data. Download your round and compare it to your last one. You can also track improvements in your handicap for each course played. The Garmin Connect golf community can even create your dream round by combining the best score for each hole, giving you the ideal 18 for the course.
