The unit works but does not compare to the current generation sky caddie (SG3,SG4 or SG5). Comparing it to first genration Sky caddie does not makes sense) A lot less information (limited to 6 items per hole) and not quite as accurate. It is also harder to use with fewer controls and options. It may be a bit cheaper but you get what you pay for. Buy the sky caddie instead.

My problem with the Golflogix is that it only gives you yardages to front, center, and back. I really don’t care all that much about those yardages. Maybe a professional would, but I want the yardage to the hole. So one still has to consult a pin sheet, which aren’t accurate either, and then do the math and they’re just approximations. I also, in checking it against GPS systems mounted on carts, found that it was off by a few yards. When I double-checked with my Bushnell’s it was shown to be imperfect. It’s rugged, it’s compact and they have just about every course in the country mapped. The software is not great; it’s cumbersome to navigate through the 15,000 odd courses. Look, it’s better than walking off sprinkler head yardages and getting out your calculator and it’s true you don’t have to take out a pair of distance binoculars and hit that pin, sometimes a little difficult at long yardages, but I still prefer my Bushnell’s because it gives me an exact yardage to the pin, which is what I want. With Golflogix you’re still at the mercy of pin sheets. I tried it for a week and went back to my binoculars. I thought I could use them in combination with each other, but that’s just too many devices in one’s bag. Still, I would recommend it, as long as you understand its limitations.

I just ordered the Golflogix (have not yet received) and expect it to be a good device. It is heavily advertised as “by Garmin” etc., but, when I contacted the Garmin web-site help desk to ask why this device is not on their site, they said they have nothing to do with Golflogix, they supply the case. and do not supply any support. They did refer me to the GolfLogix web-site. What’s up with this?

This GPS is terrible. I have had it for approx. 1 month and it doesn’t work. I have contacted Golfogix on 4 different occasions and they haven’t been able to correct the problems. Their customer support is atrocious. When it did work, very briefly, it was fine. I would like to exchange it. How do I go about that?
Thank-you

I did not like the idea that I had to spend $29.99 to add another 19 courses to my GPS. All the the courses should already be downloaded in the GPS. As is the case with other Garmin products. Had I known this before hand, I would have spent the extra dollars for another product.
