Garmin Approach G82

Garmin Golf Launch Monitor and Approach G82 Handheld GPS

The perfect combination of training tool and golf navigation.
The Approach G82 combines a full-featured Launch-Monitor with a precise GPS handheld device — ideal for golfers who want to optimize their game both on the driving range and on the course. The large, high-resolution 5-inch touchscreen display clearly shows all information and is intuitive to use.

Comprehensive shot and movement data—right on the display
The integrated Launch-Monitor provides instant feedback on key parameters such as club head speed, ball speed, smash factor, and swing tempo. Additional putting metrics such as stroke length and swing rhythm help you fine-tune your game on the green. A precise analysis of your entire golf bag helps you realistically estimate the distances of your own clubs.

Optimal course overview thanks to satellite images and CourseView maps
With more than 43,000 pre-installed golf courses worldwide, the G82 offers impressively detailed course mapping. High-resolution satellite images provide a clear overview of each hole (golf membership required). The device displays distances to hazards, doglegs, and all areas of the green. PlaysLike distances take into account slopes, inclines, and environmental influences such as wind, temperature, and air pressure.

Virtual caddie and tactical shot advice
The virtual caddie suggests suitable clubs based on historical swing data. With wind information, elevation profiles, and your bag analysis, it enables you to make strategically sound shot selections. The PinPointer feature shows the direction to the flag, even when the green is not visible.

Maximum versatility – on the range and on the course
With the Range Relay function (in combination with Approach Z30), precise distances are displayed directly on the G82 and shown as a clearly visible arc in the course view. This makes it much easier to select your target. The digital Scorecard allows you to record detailed statistics for up to four people.

Robust, durable, and flexible
Thanks to IPX7 water resistance, the G82 is ready for use at any time. The battery life is up to 25 hours in GPS mode and up to 8 hours in radar mode. The integrated magnetic mount or flexible mounting options allow the device to be quickly and securely attached to a cart, bag, or belt. Find My Garmin reliably helps you find the device if you forget it.
