I've had the Approach 5 GPS device for a full season now. The device works great. The problem is if there is an error on a course map, it's impossible to get someone to change it. There is a system in place to make a change on the website. I've submitted multiple changes on different courses and not one was fixed. On one course, the Golf Club changed the order of the holes. I made a submission 3 times over a 4 month period and nothing was ever done. The most frustrating part of making a change is that after you make the submission, you never hear anything from Garmin.
I also own a Golflogix GPS device. I've submitted changes to them and have gotten responses back the same day.In some cases Golf Logix didn't have a course I was about to play. I emailed them a scanned scorecard and I received the course via email in 24 hours.
The Garmin device looks great. The features are great. It's easy to use, but without accurate course data, it is not your best choice of GPS devices.
For the high premium they charge for the device, I suggest that you spend it on a GolfLogix device.
