Saving and Clearing Locations on an Approach G30

The Save Location feature can be used to help improve performance by saving important locations on an Approach® G30 golf device that can be used in future rounds on that same golf course. A location is a point that you record and store in the device. If you want to remember landmarks or return to a certain spot, you can mark a location.

Saving a Location

You can mark a location on a hole using your Current Location or Touch Targeting.

  1. While playing a game, select Approach G30 Menu Icon.
  2. Select Save Location
  3. Select an option:
    • Select Use Current Location to place a marker at your current location on the hole.

      • You need only tap Use Current Location and it will mark that location; no checkmark or verification needed.
    • Select Use Touch Targeting to select a location on the map.

      • Once you tap Use Touch Targeting, you need to tap a spot on the map of the hole and then tap the checkmark in the upper right-hand corner to confirm you have selected the correct location.
      • You are not required to be on the golf course to use this option. You can mark locations before or after a round, even if you are not physically at the golf course.

About Saved Locations

  • You can save up to 20 different locations per hole, per course.
  • Saved locations will show as a red dot on the map of that hole (see the image below for an example - the red arrow points to one such red dot and we have placed red circles around the locations for easier viewing.)

    Example

    Saved Locations G30
    • You cannot shuffle through previously saved locations, but you can use Touch Targeting to click near or on that location (this allows the you to see the distance to or from a location that was saved in a previous round.)

  • Saved locations will remain saved for each hole on each course unless manually cleared on the device.
  • Updating with the Garmin Express™ program will not remove the saved locations.

Clearing Saved Locations

You can clear all saved locations for the current hole.
