On the range and the practice green it is a portable radar launch monitor. On the course it is Garmin's premium GPS handheld, with the largest display Garmin has put on a golf handheld: a 5-inch, 480 x 800 pixel color touchscreen. Garmin built it as a pre-round warmup tool that then rides on the cart as a virtual caddie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRadar metrics at the driving range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProp the G82 on a golf ball with the included radar stand, place it on the ground within about 1 ft of the ball, in line with you and the ball, and start hitting.

In putting training it reads back stroke and follow-through length, the stroke length ratio, tempo, and club and ball speed, so you can work on a consistent stroke before you tee off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBag mapping and the virtual caddie\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBag mapping records five shots per club and saves your average carry or total distance for each. On the course, the virtual caddie recommends a club using that data along with elevation and, with the Garmin Golf app on a paired phone, wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOn the course\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than 43,000 courses come preloaded with full-color CourseView maps: distances to the front, middle and back of the green, hazards and layups, Green View with manual pin placement, PinPointer for blind shots, touch targeting and enhanced PlaysLike distance. A Garmin Golf membership adds aerial imagery and green contour data. Range Relay pairs the G82 with a compatible Garmin laser rangefinder, and Approach CT10 club sensors (sold separately) add automatic shot tracking. A built-in magnet holds it to a cart, and the included clip attaches it to a bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBattery and build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery life is up to 25 hours in GPS mode and up to 8 hours in radar mode, charged over USB-C.
