Over a year user of this GPS
I bought this GPS because with one touch of the button, I could walk off my distance of my last shot. This is very helpful to me when it came to figuring out club distances for my irons and drivers.

I wasn't interested in fancy pictures and colorized screens. If you're into that kind of golf GPS, this one isn't for you. This gives you accurate distances to the front, center and back of the green. When distances are compared to other comparable golf GPS units, I found that the Golf Logix is within 2-5 yards of their readings. It know when you are going to the next hole and gives you distances to the hazards from your current location on the tee box. If the course is set up with left and right hazards, you will see a list of them including the distance to them. So if there is a water hazard on the right and bunkers on the left you will see "R Water 180", "L Bunker 210". If there is a dogleg, it will give you a distance to that too.

The other thing I liked was I can store up to 20 different courses. As the GPS aligns itself, it will know what golf course you are closest to and select that course if you have it stored on your GPS. Courses are updated from Golf Logix. Usually you will get a message when you hook up your GPS to update or load courses that a course has been updated. I let my yearly service expire but I could have unlimited downloads of courses throughout the United States. I not sure of the price but if I remember correctly, this was .99 for one year. Course updates were free. Downloaded courses stay on your computer as long as you have the software installed.

It takes 2 AA batteries that allows me to change them at a moments notice if the unit does exhaust its current power supply. I did purchase the leather case (comes with a hanging sprint hook) which does make removing the batteries a little more challenging, but protects the GPS from scratches and the weather. I always bring and extra set of batteries with me. I can usually get 2 to 3 rounds out of a set of fresh AA's (without the backlight on).

For the price I felt it has done the job for me for golf course distance management. The numbers are large and readable. I've used this unit for over a year now and I don't go golfing without it. Worth every penny.

Golf rounds this year: 25
Handicap: 20

Garmin 8 GPS
I upgraded to this newer model and like it very much. I like the fact that I don't have to tell it what course I am on, it finds it on its own. Storing 20 courses and not 10 is an improvement and I've used golf gps the "length of last drive" feature frequently. Good unit!

Lack of Customer Service Support
The customer service support on this product was terrible. When I received this product I worked with customer service because I could not get the device to communciated with the USB port on my computer. We narrowed it down to an issue with the serial to USB cable. I attempted for three weeks and a number of different customer service reps. to send me a new cable, each time the rep. would tell me that the cable had been mailed to me but I never received the cable. I finally contact Amazon and have since returned the unit for full credit. If this is a clue to Garmin's customer service then I will be very hesitant in purchasing any products manufactured by Garmin!!!

Golf gps
I was a little apprehensive that this might be difficult to program and use. I hate wasting time with that kind of stuff. Well, it was as easy as it could be. Loading the courses took just a few minutes and was very simple. Using it is also very easy. My buddies have other brands. During a round we checked with each other to verify accuracy of distance. At my play level I do not need the shape of the green or color images. Just need to know how far to get to or past a hazard or how far to the green. This does it. This GolLogix is very accurate and the price was a lot less than they paid for theirs with features I don't need. I would recommend this to anyone.
