Bushnell Yardage Pro GPS

I was given this as a birthday gift, doesn't work on my mac so I have to wait awhile until I have access to a windows machine.

Anybody have one? How do you like it?

EDIT: Also if you have it, do you know if its legality status as far as tournament play, etc. It doesn't measure slope(at least I haven't figured out how to do that if it does.)

is it possible to use this without a subscription/annual $35 fee?

Don't know if you have an Intel Mac, but I've had really good luck with USB devices and VMWare Fusion. I don't think I've hooked up a single USB device that didn't work just like it was a native Windows install. I plan on using an iGolf Neo with my Server 2008 VM, I'll post back results in a few weeks when I actually buy the device :)

okay i'll check it out. I'm just not sure if there is any software involved.

If there is it will still be OK; the Windows virtual machine will install/run the software just fine and then VMWare takes care of the USB translation from the VM to the actual hardware...

If you aren't already familiar with installing Windows and virtaul machines, then the VM idea might be throwing you in the deep end from a concept standpoint. Here's the Support Site for BootCamp Basically you carve out a piece of your hard drive for Windows and then once it's installed you can just boot into either OS world (Mac/Windoze). If you have a copy of XP/Vista, all the drivers you'll need are already on the Leopard install disk. It's actually a more streamlined process installing Windows on a Mac than most "Windows" boxes. Shoot me a PM is this makes no sense and I'll help out if I can; treading on the Dark Side after coming to the light can be scary but it's better than living there... (In case you can't tell I really like my Mac; I work in a Windows IT development shop and I'm one of the few that has seen the light so to speak)
