Bushnell Yardage Pro GPS

[Maverick]

Just saw it in in a golf catalog. Think it looks pretty sharp..gotta love the digital clock display.

I saw this too and can't really decide if I want to spend the extra money on the SkyCaddie, which would be an extra 100 for me through a contact. I think the simplistic nature of this by Bushnell is nice though.

I saw it at tgw.com. I called Bushnell and they said it is due to come out soon. I think their website will show the courses that are available but I haven't seen that yet.

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

Saw this on RockBottom for a bargain price so took a chance. It arrived today and after a LOT of screwing around getting the drivers installed on Windows 7 I have my home course installed onto it. Hurrah!

I noticed that one of the "features" is a backlit display and that was the case when it was plugged into my PC however for the life of me I can't figure out how to turn on the backlit display on the device itself when it's not plugged into the PC. There's nothing in the Quick Start guide, the Owner's Manual, on the website FAQ or anywhere that I've managed to find. Any ideas fellow owners?
