So Golf logix just came out with their gps program for blackberry curve. Just wondering if anyone has tried it?

If its legit I was gonna sell my 2g iphone and get a curve. Then I could get the gps for 40/year! That would be awesome!

I'm not sure. I'm looking into this too with my Blackberry Tour. Just played a round today with 2 i phone users each had a GPS app and it was just awesome! So far the ones i'm considering are Golflogix and Greenfinder, and I'm leaning a little bit more towards golflogix.

I played on Friday with a guy that had the Golf Logix app on his iPhone, this was his take on it also. The app worked fine, but it was slower to respond then he had anticipated, he felt it was slower then some of his friends golf specific GPS units. He said a friend of his had a Skycaddie and thought it was quicker to get distances.

I tried both golflogix and greenfinder and I would have to say greenfinder is better.

It doesn't have all of the cool features that golflogix has, but it doesn't drain my battery as fast and it updates faster.

well its just not in the cards for me to use the golflogix software. i loaded onto my BB bold through ATT. i have an unlimited data plan already, but everytime i launch the program on my phone i get network error, cannot find host. so i started playing with the software and phone trying to get it to work. i went into my device settings and checked that GPS is working. i went outside and rescanned the sky, i was able to pinpoint my location according to my phone. so i was like great that had to be the reason why it wasnt working so i went back and launched the program and got the same error as before. i have uninstalled the software on the phone and tried reinstalling but the result is the same.

i have checked my carriers site for a device software update but i am running the most current one.

anyone else have this issue or know of a fix? i would like to try this software this weekend as im going on vacation and plan to play several rounds of golf. i have looked at other software (bbgpsgolf, greenfindergps, intelligolf) and none of them appear to have the courses in there database yet that i will be playing. i know i could probably map it out myself but right now i just dont have the time. i have sent requests for them to add them but i have not heard back from anyone so im not sure how long that process takes.

I have a GPS on my iPhone that is $29, one time charge and you get free updates. GolfShot GPS. Works really well. Have tested it side by side with cart GPS systems. I don't see any reason to pay the $40 per year.......

i forgot to mention that when i tried to email golflogix tech support, everytime i submit the message i get: an unexpected error has occured on this page. i have tried from different pcs, different browsers etc with no luck. i just noticed that ATT is offering a newer version software for my phone so i am in process up upgrading it now and will test again.

guess we will see if that cures my golflogix woes!!. they said that in this new software release for the bold that they have added the functionality to switch between 2g and 3g which by switching to 2g/EDGE data service should help with battery consumption.

update.
well im going to go with golflogix software sucks the moose!!! i cant get the software to work on my bold no matter what i do. i have loaded greenfinderGPS on my bold and it works flawlessy except for the fact that it doesnt have the courses i will be playing this weekend! we are looking at testing iphones for my work. i guess ill try to see if it works on there, but have to wait and see if we go that route with phones. until then i guess ill have to wait till after i get back to test all this software on a course to see which one i like best.

I have tried the following on my BlackBerry Storm:

Greenfinder : all year. This is my choice at this time. Does everything its supposed to well. However, it doesn't have some courses that I have played.

Golflogix : 1 round. The software looks nice but is still kind of clunky. I pulled my phone out of the holster several times to get a yardage and found I was a club off only to realize that the yardage updating is very slow. Buttons are too small to really make a single press do what your want. Scorekeeping looks like more of an afterthought than being well integrated. That said, I think this one is the one to watch as they make improvements.

nRange : several rounds. Very good customer support in adding courses. They even added courses that Greenfinder refused because their imagery was high quality enough. The google maps integration to look at the course imagery while playing is clunky and slow and of questionable use, IMO.

For me, battery drain was acceptable for each. YMMV.

My dilemna is that I love oobgolf for stat tracking. None of the above integrate so I carry two devices when I play (my Storm and my ipod touch). The ipod touch uses golfcard (excellent scorekeeper) and uploads to oobgolf.

Hope I have a better set of choices for next year...

I've tried Greenfinder, but it seemed slow to me on my BB Curve. I have to admit I like the Golflogix, but would agree it does need some work. Notably the stat/score tracking concept is nice, but very slow and has locked up on me twice.

At this point, I think its best to just use as a GPS only and no stat tracking. I've also found that the yardarge updated quicker than Greenfinder and was pretty accurate. At $40/yr, I'll take my chances for now. Certainly better than I had before, which was nothing.
