What are the advantages of GolfLogix GPS versus other yardage devices? A handheld GPS device, such as GolfLogix GPS, offers more flexibility during a typical round of golf. You can bring the GPS to the ball and get more accurate distance data. Unlike other laser devices, there is no need to point and aim or have a direct line of sight to the hazard or hole. How do I get golf course maps on my GolfLogix GPS? Included with your initial purchase is access to download a single golf course map of your choice. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions in the Quick Start Guide located in the box to download the Course Manager Software from the GolfLogix Web site. Then follow the registration and activation screens on your computer to obtain your free golf course map. With a $29.95 annual membership, you can download an unlimited amount of golf courses worldwide (currently more than 15,000 in the database) and have access to GolfLogix product enhancements and upgrades. Is using a GPS distance device allowed under USGA regulations? The USGA and R&A both recently sanctioned the use of satellite-based yardage measuring devices during competition. Specifically, decision 14-3/0.5 allows a committee to permit the use of distance measuring devices by Local Rule. Golfers should check with their golf professional prior to use in a USGA sanctioned event. GPS devices have always been permitted in handicap scoring in recreational rounds. What's in the Box? GolfLogix GPS, USB cable, belt/bag clip, 2 AA alkaline batteries, printed instructions | | | |

Dandy GPS. Jul 31, 2010 I reviewed all the GPS Systems I had an interest in purchasing. I finally selected the GolfLogic Garmin GPS. The Garmin GPS provides me with the information I want, need, and will use. The technical support I received was very good. If you are looking for a good GPS System that will deliver the golf course information you need to know, and not take time away from you playing golf, then the GolfLogic Garmin GPS system is the right choice to make.
Service / Support Jul 30, 2010 Took a long time to receive, Sought support with software download to no avail. May be a good unit, however, what good is it if you can't get support. For this reason alone I would check out other brands. 10 days after I purchased the unit the price has been dropped.
New User Jul 27, 2010 Was concerned if a GPS would be a distraction or too difficult to use to be of any help. Couldn't have been further than the truth. This unit is so easy to use and is very accurate that right out of the box and on the first tee, able to use immediately. Not confusing like some car GPS's. Its so nice not to always be guessing the yardage or looking around for markers. Highly recommend this unit to anyone even if they are a little techno challenged.

Simple and Accurate Golf GPS Jul 25, 2010 It took me a year to decide which golf gps to buy. After doing the research I decided on the Golflogix GPS-8. I bought 2 for my husband and myself about 6 weeks ago. We could not be more pleased. We wanted one that was simple and easy to use. We did not want to be spending lots of time pressing buttons, etc., during a round of golf. This is exactly what we wanted. Turn it on, scroll to the hole you are starting with, and that's it. You just get the yardage--what more do you really need. It has really helped us get to know the real yardage we get with each club. I went from a handicap of 24.4 to 21.8 in 6 weeks and I really believe it's because I now have confidence in my clubs. We use Eneloop rechargeable batteries and get 3 rounds out of one set. We always carry 2 extra batteries just in case. That's another reason why we picked this model. You'll never get stuck because you forgot to recharge the batteries as long as you carry 2 spares with you. The unit does lock up sometimes, but you just turn it off and back on again and you're good to go. Not much of a problem. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a basic golf gps, without all the unnecessary bells and whistles. Also, Amazon had the best price, so we didn't break the bank, especially since we needed two. The only drawback is the $29.95 annual fee for each of us, but considering the bargain price we bought them for, we are still ahead of the game. I recommend buying the case. It's nicely padded and offers protection just in case you drop it.
excellent product Jul 25, 2010 the golf logix gps is very accurate. the only problem is that the batteries only last 4 rounds of golf. i have rechargable batteries in it but they do not last very long. that is the only drawback i have with it
