 A fantastic product with NO additional fees November 15, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
The Sonocaddie is a great product. Simple and easy to use, with no annual subscription fees. Setting up the download process can be a pain, but once you overcome this obstacle, downloading is quick and easy. I have found that all courses are not mapped correctly, but if you bring it to their attention, Sonocaddie is quick to respond and usually has the mapping corrected within 10-14 days. Also, a set of 3A batteries will last between 3-5 rounds, depending on features used.
You can't imagine how nice it is to walk to your ball and instantly know the yardage to front, middle and back of green, plus knowing yardage to hazards helps with club selection. You can add your own hazards or delete/replace existing ones. The screen is not fancy but it gives you all the information you need. All you have to do is make the shot. What a joy! Finally, it is easy to mark the distance of any shot you make. No more guessing on how far you hit it. For all the Sonocaddie has to offer, you can't go wrong with this product.

I wrote a review on this product when it first hit the market over a year ago. Not sure where that review went but I've got an update. The product initially impressed me because of its ease of use, capability - it stores 20 courses, and the no-membership/download costs. When I first got my Sonocaddie I had to input my own data, available local courses were lacking. Well, in 11 months hundreds of courses all over the US have become available for download. When I'm on the course with my playing partners everyone checks with me for distance to the pin/green. The accuracy is great, wish my ball striking ability were only half as good! After almost 11 months of near flawless performance my Sonocaddie went to a dark screen with the application features barely visible. Initially I assumed a battery issue; but switching to fresh batteries didn't fix my problem. After describing my problem to DENNCO, the US Distributor, they instructed me to ship my Sonocaddie to them, insured, for there evaluation. I was elated when I received a new replacement unit in less than 12 days. It is clear DENNCO understands customer service and stands by their product's 1 year warranty. I highly recommended this item almost a year ago and now I recommend both the product and its US Supplier. Ro

 Great device but web database mapped courses are off September 5, 2007
I just recently purchased the Sonocaddie and am very pleased with the size, battery life and accuracy of course data points manually entered. The availability of many thousands of courses from the web site with no yearly subscription is also a big plus. However, in the North West Phoenix area where I live the 4 courses downloaded from the Sonocaddie web site have all holes off by 10-20 yards which makes them unusable and frustrating. Technical support indicated that mapping must have been off when these courses were input.
I validated this problem was not with the unit (checked lat/lon measurements against two other GPS') and discussed this issue on another forum with others indicating they do not have this problem - I'm guessing it must be local to where I live!
Good and Accurate Golf GPS August 21, 2007

I purchased this item in early July 2007. The item was shipped before the estimated ship date which was a plus. Initially I thought that the GPS was a difficult product to use but this was not the case after reading the user manual.
Simply put, I have found it to be very accurate and more than appropriate for my needs and wants. It also speeds up the rounds as you no longer have to look for markers. I would recommend it to anyone. In fact, I recently visited my brother in Barbados and after showing him all the features he cancelled his order for the SG4 by Sky Golf.
Downloading courses are also very easy and quick. The only drawback is that I mapped my courses here in Trinidad and tried to upload it but found that I could not as my country was not listed. I sent off an e-mail to support and they have not responded.
