“We’re thrilled to announce that we now have the largest selection of courses available,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “With Garmin Approach devices, we want to ensure that golfers have an upper hand when they play, and having more than 40,000 courses available is a big part of that.”

Each course is displayed as full-color CourseView™ diagrams1, so golfers are able to preview hole details like traps, green shapes and more. Golfers will also get precise distances to the front, middle and back of the green, as well as layup and dogleg distances.

In addition to course data on Approach devices, golfers will also be able to access data through the recently updated Garmin Connect Mobile app. Golfers can view their scores and stats from each round, and track their progress over time. Garmin Connect Mobile also provides course analysis, so golfers can be aware of their own trends and tendencies to improve their game.

Whether hiking, hunting, geocaching, golfing, dog training, or capturing it all on VIRB action cameras, Garmin outdoor devices are becoming essential tools for outdoor enthusiasts of all levels.
