5.0 out of 5 stars Works Very Well, June 11, 2007

By 

T. Myers "Par Seeker" (Bay Area) - See all my reviews

I purchased the Golflogix GPS instead of the more popular SkyCaddie because the Golflogix is made by Garmin. Obviously, Garmin knows GPS. The unit is actually a re-packaged Garmin eTrex. It is very solid and sturdy. When I bought it I found that three of the courses that I play were not mapped. I requested them and in one week they were available. Fantastic. I have also submitted questions via email and have been answered promptly. The unit is small and easy to use. It will increment holes automatically when I walk to the next hole. Most of the time I do not need to press any buttons. I would definitely recommend Golflogix.

5.0 out of 5 stars Golflogix GPS, April 25, 2007

By 

Diane 2566 (CA United States) - See all my reviews

I have used this item for several rounds of golf. It is very easy to use. Seems much easier to work than the Skycaddie. They both will give you the same information but this one is easier to read and operate. The customer service at Golflogix is tops also.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good device that could be better, August 30, 2007

By 

Sameer Khera (Cupertino, California) - See all my reviews

I got the device last week and played two rounds of golf using it. By and large I am satisfied with the performance. The unit worked as advertised.

Here are some things to be aware of:

1. I was using the cart and there were several times when on reaching the ball I saw a 15 yard difference between what the unit was indicating and what the marking on the course was. I realized that you need to give the unit about 20 seconds after stoppint the cart to give the exact distance. If you walk to the ball, there is no issue..it will provide correct distance always.


2. The unit has two screens per hole. One showing distance to the green and the other showing hazard distances. The second screen does not indicate what hole it is showing distances for..would be a nice and simple enhancement.

3. Battery life is good..I played 2 rounds and the battery indicator barely moved.

4. looks and feels rugged and the belt clip is handy

5. I had an initial question about accessories. I emailed golflogix and got a response within a day.

6. Downloading courses to the device was quick and easy

I bought because of Garmin brand. I have a mobile garmin gps for my car, which i love.
