Screen issues

I really liked this G82 but sent it back to the store I purchased it from for a refund. Took it to the driving range and when I was using the the launch monitor feature in the sun it started getting lines through the screen. When I got home and turned it back on the lines were gone so I took it back outside and put it in the sun. Less than 10 minutes later I checked and the lines were back.

Missing quite a few clubs in the club selector section (Yes, I do have a seven hybrid and also a seven wood). Also I find that the carry distance is consistently 10 yards or more short... just put +10 in the code for driver and you’ll be consistently closer.
It would be nice to review more information on the device itself instead of always requiring your phone.

Great device to help anyone understand their game better, nice tools to help breakdown what you need to work on.

Great product. I have used it for bag mapping a couple of times and found it so helpful with clubs and specific yardages. I have found the putting information extremely helpful as well. Played a round with the course GPS and found that to be very helpful. I love how portable the device is.

Good but with some irritating problems…

Consistently 10-15 yards short on driver carry. Select club has no 4, 7 or 9 wood options, also only has a 3 hybrid option for some strange reason. It would be nice to be able to define new clubs or create levels for them (I have several pitching wedges).
It would be nice to be able to review data directly on the device.

Great upgrade from previous version. Do wish I could zoom in though.

Great All-In-One Device

I have had the Garmin G82 for a couple of weeks and it has been great. From locating the course I am playing to using the launch monitor features it has been very easy to use. I like how the screen stays on as you use it as a launch monitor and how you can use the included back with a golf ball to set it up properly.
