The Golf Guru 4 gives you free access to over 20,000 golf courses and has a high-sensitivity, 20-channel GPS for the most accurate information possible. AerVu (Aerial View) information for up to 200 courses can be stored in the device at one time. Using the included USB cable, statistical information from your game can be downloaded for analysis to your PC, and course information can be uploaded with ease. Designed for long days on and off the course, the Guru 4 is equipped with a rechargeable battery with a charge life of up to 14 hours.
Featuring a large 3.5-inch, high-resolution color touch screen, the Golf Guru 4 allows you to get the most out of its advanced graphical course information. With four course information views, the Guru 4 delivers the most precise and useful information available to the palm of your hand. AerVu with Shot Plan Feature allows you to plan ahead--AerVu lets you see the full graphical fairway view, showing hazards and distance to the green, and letting you know how far you are from hazards, traps, and the pin no matter where you are on the course. The 'ShotPlan' tool allows you to measure the distance to any point on the fairway and then the remaining distance to the pin.
The Guru 4's SmartGreenVu gives you near, pin, and far green distances from wherever you are on the course. Smart Green technology lets you dynamically adjust the pin placement on the green, plan your shots based on current pin placement, and always know the right club to use.
The Guru 4 captures the important statistical information from your game including: the distance of each shot, the club used, if you hit fairways and greens in regulation, if you missed a shot to the right or left or short or long, and more. The statistical information can be downloaded to your computer to do analysis and allowing you to improve your overall game.

Product Description
The GURU 4, the first percise GPS enabled PDA, with its 3.5 inch touch screen lets users play with the most advanced features in golf, plus listen to music, view pictures, play movies and with optional software do road navigation, all at an extremely competitive price. The GPS Golf GURU 4 has much more versatility and value than the traditional GPS rangefinder by running many different applications instead of just golf. With the largest screen in golf the GURU 4 makes using the advanced features extremely easy to use and read. The new optional tee to green aerial views (AerVu) of each fairway on the golf course lets you know how far users are from hazards, traps and the pin no matter where they are on the course. The “ShotPlan” tool in the AerVu maps allows the user to measure the distance to any point on the fairway and then the remaining distance to the pin. The close-up aerial view of the green using the Guru’s “Smart Green” technology allows users to move the pin to any location on the green allowing them to know the right club to use no matter the pin placement.

I've had my Guru for about a month. I compared it to all of the Sky Caddie models as well as some of the other smaller vendors before purchasing.
First off, it works great. Follow the Quick Start directions and you'll be off and running in no time. I like that it automatically checks for the latest firmware release and downloads that to your Guru (if needed) everytime you hook it up to download new courses.
It is the smallest unit out there -- a little bigger than my Palm Centro but nice and thin/lite. I carry it in my back pocket and pull it out like a yardage book before every shot. It doesn't get smashed if I sit in the cart either :-)
I didn't buy the Sky Caddie for the following reasons:
1. Size -- it's a little bigger/fatter than the Guru
2. Annual Fees -- who wants to pay $50/year ??
3. Satellite Acquisition -- these things only work well if they're able to sync to enough Satellites to be accurate. I'd heard from a few friends that they no longer use their Sky Caddies because they would lose "sync" too many times to be useful/trusted. Guru syncs fast and connects to more Satellites.
The Guru has far fewer courses than the Sky Caddie but they've been able to map all of the courses I've requested (at least 5) in less than 7 days -- certainly acceptable to me.
One other suggestion if you have a Guru and a Garmin Nuvi (360 is what I have)-- the A/C charger works for both (if you're like me, it's hard to keep all of my cords/chargers tagged, etc). Save the $20 from Golf Guru and use your Garmin charger.
In a nutshell, if you want a fairly simple device that works great and fits in your pocket, The Guru is the one for you. When you're on the course, fancy color graphics aren't going to lower your score -- quick, accurate info at your fingertips will ...

Just got mine and played my first round with it this weekend - very impressed with operation and ease of use. Unit is small (cell phone size) Course download was easy (and free) and once I turned it on there was little to do other than switch between views - information presented on the screen is thorough and useful and I am pleased that I can read it without my reading glasses. I am going to look for a carrying case to attach it to my bag but otherwise it just needs more courses loaded. I have not personally used the competing products (SkyCaddie, Garmin, etc.) but I would recommend this on the basis of cost and ease of use.

Amazon Verified Purchase
First, I have to say that the customer service for this company is amazing. I ordered the golf guru through amazon.com because I had a gift card. I wanted the carrying case but it wasn't offered on the amazon.com website. So I purchased the carrying case through their own website on the same day. Unfortunatly, I was going to have to pay shipping on both products since they were not purchased together. I received an email the next day telling me that they noticed I made 2 seperate purchases and they would ship them together and only charge me for shipping on the golf guru unit and not the carrying case. I knew right away this was going to be a great company to deal with.
Second, I loved the golf guru as soon as I got it. It is so easy to use and download the courses I wanted. The screen functions are easy to see and use. I love that you can map a course out if you want to. My friend has the Sky caddie and he gets no reception at several courses we play in Long Island...I am able to get reception on every couse every time.
Third, the statistics portion is awesome. As you play your round it will ask you at the end of each hole for your score, if you made GIR, FIR, and how many putts. At the end of the round you will get all your stats for the round, % of GIR, % of FIR, and avg. putts per hole. This is very handy if your into keeping stats.
Lastly, I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to know "how far away am I" which is just about everyone.
GREAT PRODUCT, VERY VERY HAPPY.
