Garmin Approach® G82 GPS Golf Handheld with Launch Monitor
A premium 2-in-1 golf handheld that combines a large 5" GPS touchscreen with built-in launch monitor radar metrics. Approach G82 helps you play smarter on the course and practice with real numbers at the range — without carrying multiple devices.
Our Take: Approach G82 is for golfers who want one device that does the two jobs that matter most: clear, confident GPS yardages during the round and measurable feedback during practice. The big screen is genuinely easier to use than watch screens, and the launch monitor metrics help you stop guessing.
- Large 5" touchscreen for easy yardage checks A bigger display makes hole views, distances, and course info easier to see at a glance—especially in bright daylight.
- Built-in launch monitor radar metrics Get practice feedback like club and ball speed plus carry/total distance so you can dial in gapping and swing changes with real numbers.
- 43,000+ preloaded courses Wide course coverage helps you travel and play without worrying about whether your course is supported.
- Course mapping + green detail tools Use on-screen hole views and green information to plan safer targets and smarter misses (feature availability depends on course data).
- Putting practice metrics Practice putting with measurable feedback to help you build consistency and confidence on the greens.
- Long battery life for full days of golf Designed to support long practice sessions and multiple rounds on a charge (battery life varies by use mode and conditions).
Who this handheld is perfect for
- You prefer a big screen over checking yardages on a watch.
- You want one device for both on-course GPS and range practice metrics.
- You’re working on distance control, gapping, or swing changes and want measurable feedback.
- You want course mapping tools that help you pick smarter targets and avoid penalty areas.
- You want long battery life for full rounds, practice sessions, and golf trips.
- You’d rather buy one premium device than juggle a separate GPS and a separate launch monitor.
You may prefer a different Garmin if…
- You want a watch-style experience on your wrist (consider Garmin Approach S-series watches).
- You only want a laser rangefinder without launch monitor metrics (consider Garmin Approach Z-series rangefinders).
- You want a full simulator ecosystem or advanced pro fitting tools beyond portable practice metrics.
