First-of-its-kind device offers distances to
the green on a high-contrast screen and a solar-powered
battery, allowing you to play round after round without
charging
OLATHE,
Kan., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN) today announced the Approach® G20
Solar, the first solar-powered GPS golf handheld that provides
unlimited battery life when used in sunny conditions1.
While on the course, golfers can see yardage to the front, middle
and back of the green and plan their approach using the 2.2-inch
high-contrast screen. And thanks to the big, easy-to-read numbers,
players of all ages can read distances during play – even on
bright, sunny days.
"We're excited to introduce the Approach G20 Solar, our first
GPS golf handheld with an innovative solar-powered display that
gives golfers the ability to play longer than ever before. Packed
with popular on-course features to help guide your approach and an
easy-to-read screen, it's the perfect companion for golfers of all
skill levels." –Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer
Sales
Boundless battery life
Play day after day, round after round without needing to
recharge the Approach G20 Solar. The solar-powered display makes it
easy to stay on the course for an extra 18 holes or even stash it
in a golf bag after the round without worrying about recharging
before the next tee time. Even when playing in sub-optimal
conditions, players can expect to use it for up to 36 rounds
without solar charging.
