If you haven’t heard the word, Garmin just released the hot new Stat Tracking software for Approach G5 . And a few weeks back, we added Approach G3 to the lineup. The G3 features the same ease-of-use as the G5 and more than 12,000 preloaded courses. Being a touch smaller and lighter than the G5 , it’s perfect if you like to walk the course. The new G5 Stat Tracking software ( available for no charge here ) lets you track your putts per round, fairways hit, GIR and how far you hit each club – and not just…

500+ mph with the Garmin Nuvi 265WT...We took the Garmin Nuvi 265WT GPS from take off to cruising altitude and speed in a Cessna 750. The tracking worked great and we saw the unit go up to 625 mph although the video only showed around 500 mph. It was fun comparing the Nuvi to the in-flight map because we got to see our flight moving over roads! However, while the speed were comparable, we noticed that after above 10000 feet, the altitude didn't match the in-flight map by as much as several thousand feet (at 25000 ft). We assume the in-flight system is more accurate. See the video response titled "40000 ft altitude ..." video where we take the same GPS but recorded its usage on a commercial flight. www.youtube.com
