Garmin Approach GPS Golf Watch

Garmin Approach GPS Golf Watch

I just got the S3 watch today and I was having problem setting the language to English. I called Garmin support number and the wait was not bad; about 3-5 minutes. The operator was very nice; helping me up to set the language to English.

Steps:
1. Press the Power button(top left corner). Choose the top answer -> Kylla
2. It should power down your Garmin S3.
3. Press and hold the score button (bottom right hand corner).
4. While pressing step (3), above - press the power button again.
5. It should reset the language to English.

As far as updating maps, I tried to do on my Mac(with Intel). I kept getting Update error (Like the other Amazon review). So I went to my Windows laptop and did this:
1. Open up a Firefox browser.
2. Go to Garmin website and find the update map links.
3. It installs Garmin plug-in on my Firefox browser.
4. I close Firefox and go back to the Garmin page.
5. I get the message that says, my course map is already up to date.

All good.

Updates 7/24
I used the latest Safari on Mac and managed to install Garmin plugin successfully. Hence, the update does work on Macs.

Most Convenient

Garmin Approach Watch Preloaded Courses I have a golf GPS that requires me to download the course information before I can play for the first time. That process isn't simple or without problems. This Garmin S1 is the easiest thing to use. You turn it on, tell it you want to play a round of golf (since it comes up in watch mode) and it displays a list of the courses nearby. So if you are at a golf course when you tell it you want to play, you don't have to go searching for the course you want to play, it is already on the top of the list you select from. If there is more than one course nearby, as there is at my golf club, the different courses will be listed for you to choose from with the closest first. Using the S1 during play couldn't be easier either. You don't have to change holes manually, it knows where you are and therefore what hole you are on. You can change the holes manually, but it isn't necessary under most circumstances. I...

Great set of basic features

Garmin 4 3 Inch Portable Navigator Lifetime This was to be my first GPS and I wanted outstanding performance in a 5 inch screen, but didn't want or need anything fancy (like Bluetooth, etc) but did want lifetime maps. The Garmin nuvi 50LM was the perfect choice and I have not been disappointed. It is easy to use, fast and accurate. The screen is bright with excellent contrast. It is 'turn by turn" and specifically mentions the names of the streets. The default voice is strong and easy tonhear/understand. Overall, the Garmin nuvi 50LM is simple, basic and outstanding. I also bought the "beanbag" mount for the top of the dashboard and it is GREAT!! It makes is so easy to remove the GPS from sight when parked or after use, plus move the Garmin nuvi 50LM from vehicle to vehicle. In my opinion, the Garmin 50LM is the best value for money for basic "no frills" automotive GPS. I am very pleased with the Garmin nuvi 50LM and my choice in buyin...
