 Great Product August 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received the Golflogix GPS as a birthday gift. It's the only one I've owned so I can't compare it to others, but as far as ease of use, convenience, reliability and accuracy it's great. As I check the yardage markers to the gps, they're extremely close, and if not, I'll base my club selection on the gps which gets me to where I want to be (If I hit it right). With over 21,000 courses available to download immediately, the odds are good that your favorites will already be mapped. If not, you can e-mail a request to map a course and have it I think within a couple of weeks. It's real easy to read, even in bright sunshine. All my golf buddies love it too. Bad thing is I'm now the official yardage marker! I can usually get 4-5 rounds with one set of batteries, and keep a set of rechargeable batteries with me. It locked up on me once, took it home to reset it on the computer and it's been fine since. Didn't seem like that big a deal, everything computerized has a glitch now and then. If you like to ride, the stand that mounts on the cart is a real handy accessory. In my opinion, if you're looking for a golf gps, you won't be sorry you got this one.

Golf Logic GPS August 30, 2008
Helped lower my score by 3 strokes first time out. Easy to download courses. Gives you yardage to bunkers, hazards, front, center and back edge of greens. With a push of a button you can see how far you really hit a shot. No need to look for yardage markers. Speeds up play!
 Lock ups make this thing a nightmare!! August 27, 2008

We bought the Golf Logix 2008 model in Spring of this year (2008) and at first, it was wonderful. After about 6 weeks, it began "locking up" where none of the buttons would work, and we had to pull out the batteries to get it turned off. Per the Golf Logix support team, you HAVE to "connect the unit to a PC and reset the options" while connected to the internet to get it to work again. Fine, except it fails on the first hole or so, and I don't have a PC with an internet connection on the course, so no GPS for that round!! When it started locking up almost every time I used it, they agreed to send me a replacement unit, but not a refund! It came in a few days, but even though I did what they told me to do to avoid a second $29.95 fee for the annual subscripton, I was billed anyway and had to call several times to get that reversed--no one answered my emails on this either. I got the replacement unit on July 7, 2008, and it locked up once, so I reset it, then it locked up again today (Aug. 28). I was assured that this problem was "very rare" and the replacement unit would resolve it so imagine how I felt when I read how many other customers have been down this road before me!! If I could, I would write to Peter Kostis and David Feherty and tell them how mad I am that they endorsed this piece of garbage, making me feel safe in buying it. Since the clock is running on the one-year warranty, all they need to do to steal my $300 is wait a few more months and I am totally screwed!
Best choice August 27, 2008
I debated between Skycaddie and this Garmin and am very happy with my choice. It's compatible with my Mac and the fee is less than Skycaddie as well as having a couple of local course that Skycaddie does not have. So far have played 72 holes with it on the same set of batteries.
