The Garmin Approach® G20 Solar in the GPS Golf Handheld configuration is built for golfers who want clear yardages and long-lasting on-course navigation in a compact device. A sunlight-readable, high-resolution 2.2-inch screen with big numbers makes distances easy to see during bright rounds.
Approach G20 Solar comes preloaded with more than 43,000 courses worldwide and provides yardages to the front, middle and back of the green, plus key course information such as hazards and doglegs. Solar charging supports unlimited battery life when used in 75k Lux conditions (direct sunlight), and it’s designed for real-world play with an IPX7 water rating and simple mounting options for cart or belt carry.
Display
A sunlight-readable, high-resolution monochrome display helps keep distances easy to view on the course. Approach® G20 Solar shows yardages to the front, middle and back of the green, along with hazards and doglegs, using big numbers that are quick to read at a glance in bright conditions.
Battery
Approach® G20 Solar is designed for extended use with solar charging. It delivers 180 hours (36 rounds) in GPS only mode with poor solar conditions, and it can provide unlimited battery life when used in 75k Lux conditions (direct sunlight) for long days and frequent rounds.
Design
The built-in magnet makes it easy to mount the device on a golf cart, helping keep yardages visible without digging into a pocket. When walking, it can be carried on a hip using the included belt clip, so it stays accessible from the first tee through the last hole.
Navigation
With more than 43,000 preloaded courses worldwide, Approach® G20 Solar is ready to go almost anywhere golf is played. A high-sensitivity receiver supports consistent GPS performance, and on-course tools include yardage to layups and doglegs, hazards and course targets, plus a shot distance feature that calculates exact yardage for shots from anywhere on the course. Green View shows the shape of the green with manual pin placements for added context on approach shots.
Connectivity
When paired with a compatible smartphone, Approach® G20 Solar can receive course updates wirelessly. It also pairs with the Garmin Golf™ smartphone app for additional functionality, including wind speed and direction plus live scoring. If the device is left behind, Find My Garmin can help navigate back to its last known location from the Garmin Golf app. Bluetooth® Smart connectivity supports these phone-based features when a connection is available.
Battery
Sized at 2.1" x 3.5" x 0.7" (53 x 90 x 18 mm) and rated to IPX7, Approach® G20 Solar is designed to handle changing conditions on the course. It includes digital scorecard support plus stat tracking for strokes, putts per round, and greens and fairways hit, along with handicap scoring and a round timer/odometer. Charging and data connections are handled through USB-C, and the internal rechargeable lithium ion battery supports extended play.
