Product Description
Nice for the price (2008-08-12)
This is not as good as your SG4 skycaddie, by a bit. In a side by side comparison, go for the Skycaddie, however, for the price, it definitely is a good buy. It lacks the intelligreen technology that is helpful with the skycaddie, and hazards do not display very well. However, for a basic distance, this GPS works very well. I found it to be very accurate on the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th rounds...not so much so on the 1st round though. I do recommend this product, but would definitely go with the Skycaddie next time around.
Good GPS For the price (2008-08-11)
I recently purchased this GPS unit & am very pleased with it. I bought the 2007 model in order to save a few bucks, not knowing if I would like it or not. I believe that the latest model has a couple features that this one doesn't. After using mine I would now opt for the newer model even though it cost about $90.00 more. If you buy one be sure & buy rechargeable batteries otherwise you will spend a fortune on regular batteries.
One of the courses I play regularly was not in the data base. I asked for a mapping & they had it done in just a couple of days.
I would recommend this unit.
Garmin Golf Course GPS (2008-08-09)
Great accurate GPS. It has really helped me manage my golf game.
Thanks Garmin
Good, but not Perfect! (2008-08-06)
The Golflogix GPS by Garmin 2007 model is a good product; however, there are issues such as: it goes through batteries like wild fire. Maybe 3 rounds on a pair of batteries, sometimes only 2 rounds. Rechargeable batteries a very good idea. Another issue is the time it takes to settle on a distance for your shot. The unit takes too much time to indicate the distance,meanwhile the rest of your group is waiting for you to take your shot--not really a time-saver. Also, my friend, standing next to me will have a markedly different distance on his Golflogix than I do--quite puzzling.
A really good buy (2008-08-04)
The Garmin Golflogix GPS has everything you need for the golf course, and at really good price. It's easy to use, and only requires that you carry 2 extra AA batteries in case needed during a round.
