Garmin G3

[DJ412]

So this GPS is a few years and probably had quite a few users here. What is everyone's opinion on it? I picked one up for cheap ($60) on impulse this morning. I've tried range finders and didn't like having try to line up the pin and living in the rolling hills of PA sometimes pins aren't very visible. I've tried GPS on my iPhone but didn't like leaving it out of my bag to bounce around in the cart or in my pocket while walking.

 

So what is the final verdict on the G3 and did I get a good deal ?

$60!!!??? You got an unbelievable deal. Is it stolen or used? Seriously when a good deal comes along you got to jump on it. If you don't like it you probably can easily sell it for more on ebay or some guy at a local course.

One of my golf friends has one and really likes it. It's a solid unit that is also waterproof and durable.

Thank you I've been reading the amazon reviews. It is used I purchased it off another message board. The only thing I will need to purchase are rechargable AA batteries. Which thanks to amazon are already enroute. It looks like I got a good used deal.

Love mine. Also like the fact it uses AA batteries instead of lithium. I have two sets of rechargeables and batteries are never an issue. Accurate, durable, and easy to use. What's not to like? You got a great price too...

That is a he!! of a deal!! I love mine, had it a little over a year now. I always keep extra batteries in my bag just in case.

I am looking at a Garmin G5 for $100 on local craigslist to replace my Callaway Upro. I am tired of downloading courses and connection issues with the Upro, but not sure I want to deal with rechargeable batteries. However, do not want to splurge for a G6.....

Amazing deal! I own one myself and love it! Great for blind shots. While its not as full featured as other models it does what I need it to do. Also the AA were a selling point for me, I got rechargeables, then keep 2 spare AAs in the bag just in case!
