Thanks Billy, I just took the plunge and ordered the Garmin Golflogix

Can you mark your own hazards on the gps or not?

depends which one you buy... I have an iGolf and you can add 8 additional points per hole (aside from F, C, B). iGolf has a smaller cheaper new unit called the NEO, which only allows 4 additional points, but it only costs $150 as opposed to $230 for the caddieII.

On skycaddie I don't think you can add custom points to any of their pre-mapped courses. Golflogix... NO, have to use what they give you as to sureshot, golf guru, and all the others... I don't know.

Thinking about ordering one -- anyone have one like to provide some quick feedback?

Thanks in advance.

I've used mine once (just picked it up last week). Simple to use, turn it on and go pretty much. In all honesty, you don't have to do a thing. It did shut itself off during my round once, but I'd rather it shut off instead of me possibly forgetting and running the batteries down.

Mine was accurate to withing a yard or two. So far I've only used it on my homecourse, so that's really overkill. I've been playing that course for over 20 years. When I get to a different course I'm no so familiar with, I will def. get some use out of it.

I got mine on Ebay, shipped for about $286, saved a few dollars, also picked up the $29.95 unlimited/annual subscription.

I still need to find out if I get to keep my downloaded courses after the year is up.

I just posted a poll but I didn't see this. I have the same question so any answers would be great.

edit: Thanks LottaBalata

I can now see where those units are super handy. Sure does speed up play.


That sounds like a great value for yours, as well.


One question I've had is do the units function as regular handheld gps units as well....giving coordinates to your position. I could use the same unit for hunting as well.

Can any of you GolfLogix owners comment about the type of battery life you are getting from your units?

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one of these things, but have read a few comments where people said their GolfLogix absolutely burned through batteries.

Thanks!

I've put three rounds on mine since I got it and so far so good. I use normal Duracell alks.

[sabram]

I get 4 to 5 rounds with regular batteries. I now use rechargable batteries and they tend to get one less round than regular batteries (i.e. 3 to 4 rounds before they need to be re-charged.)

By the way I love my golf logix

[Grogger31]

Thanks guys. I just pulled the trigger on this purchase (you only live once, right?).

From everything I've been reading, most people are happy with this unit.

Thanks!

My Golflogix quit working for me.

Not sure if I might have dropped it too hard or what.
I can't find the right clip setup. Maybe I should just leave it on the bag.

I was really starting to get used to it.
When it's working, I give it a big thumbs up.

Has anybody had any experience with service on these units ?
I hope their customer service is similar to the some of the clubmakers that everyone has raved about.

I didn't buy it new, I got it off Ebay.

When it comes to issues like this, I prefer to call and speak to someone as oppose to e-mail. Just my take though.

[sam004]

New course manager software and an update to the firmware seemed to have helped.
Back on line !!

I found one thread with a guy that had this and said it was good. I saw the commercial and thinking about getting it.

Does anyone else use the services from www.golfgps.com ? If so, what are your experiences with them? I used a uPro last year and thought it was "ok" and ended up selling it. Since I'm in the market for a laser, a cheap gps for my droid wouldn't be all that bad of an idea.

I have the program on my Iphone. I have found it to be about 5-10 yards off my skycaddie when comparing the two. Also I don't get yardages on the courses where my phone has no signal or little signal. That being said, I still use the program for the scorecard. Gives very good stats on your game and weak points in it.

I have golflogix for my blackberry and it is just as accurate as my friends skycaddie. I also have sprint so the service on the course thing has never been as issue
