 Eats Batteries October 3, 2008
Works fairly good. Some courses the yardage seems to be off, some OK.
The biggest problem is the it goes through batteries very quickly. I was told to get rechargeable batteries which I did, but I have to turn the unit off between holes to save energy. It makes it hard to use since when you turn it back on you need to scroll back through the holes to get to the one you are playing.
Buy a Sky Caddie September 4, 2008
Very poor customer service regarding mapping courses. I've been waiting for 1 month for them to map a course. In another case they told me that a course couild not be mapped. I checked Sky Caddie web site and they have both courses mapped.
I golf Caddie II August 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just sent my iGolf Caddie II back in for exchange. Like many of the 1 star reviews, mine kept droping course data. When I contacted iGolf, they said they were aware of this problem, and since my units warranty had just expired, I could get the $30 subscription which extended the warranty to 1 year. I did this and have sent the unit back in. If you read the reviews, at the time I wrote this, the 5 star reviews are from 2006... all the 2 and 1 star review are from latter 2007 and 2008. When the iGolf doesn't drop the courses, it does work as advertised and is fun, as I'm sure any golf gps is. I just wish it was rechargable by simply plugging in.
 Buyer Beware! August 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've owned an iGolf GPS Caddie for over a year and have been using it flawlessly. Recently I turned on the unit and none of the courses that I had downloaded were available. So I connected the unit to my computer and reloaded the courses again. I played two rounds of golf and then the unit lost the courses again. I contacted customer support and they stated that my internal memory or battery was damaged. iGolf provides no service on their units. Because I was outside of the one year warranty, my only option was to buy another unit. BUYER BEWARE. This product is unsupported and unreliable.
 Works Just Fine, But... August 11, 2008
The iGolf II works as advertised, and it's a good deal less expensive than its competitors. That's both initial price and cost to operate, since once I choose my golf courses I download their data to my PC, and don't need to pay an on-going subscription fee in future years. The only minor negative is the battery indicator. I've been using 2000 maH rechargeable batteries (Duracell), set the indicator to monitor rechargeables, but after two outings the device turns itself off repeatedly, though it indicates 60% or so of the charge left. I'm now trying 2700 maH batteries (Sanyo).
