Garmin Approach G82 GPS Launch Monitor
The Garmin Approach G82 is a premium GPS handheld that also doubles as a portable launch monitor, giving you practical distance help on the course and meaningful performance feedback at the range. By combining full-colour CourseView mapping with radar-based shot tracking, the G82 makes it easier to understand your numbers, tighten your consistency and make smarter club choices.
From pre-round warm-ups to structured practice sessions and real-time course navigation, the Approach G82 delivers clear visuals, fast setup and key metrics that help you train with purpose and play with more confidence.
GET READY TO PLAY
Set the G82 down behind the ball and you're ready to go in moments. Its simple, portable setup is ideal for the driving range and putting green, helping you turn practice time into useful feedback before you head to the first tee.
BUILT-IN LAUNCH MONITOR
Built-in radar capture provides immediate insight into each strike. Track ball speed, club speed, smash factor and swing tempo to assess strike quality and dial in performance across the bag without complicated setup or extra devices.
PUTTING PERFORMANCE METRICS
Make putting practice more structured with detailed feedback on stroke length, tempo, club speed and ball speed. These numbers help you build more repeatable rhythm and improve pace control on short and mid-range putts.
BAG MAPPING FOR ACCURATE YARDAGES
Use Bag Mapping mode at the range to build a realistic picture of how far you carry each club. The G82 helps you create dependable yardages based on your own shots, making club selection on the course far more confident.
AERIAL IMAGERY WITH GARMIN GOLF MEMBERSHIP
With an active Garmin Golf membership, you can unlock full-colour aerial imagery for a clearer view of the hole ahead. It's a great way to visualise landing areas, hazards and lines off the tee before committing to a shot.
