I bought this based on the many good reviews, but have been disappointed in many respects. The display lacks detail and can be very difficult to see, particularly in black and white, and the maps don't contain enough course information (distance to/past hazards, etc.) to be all that helpful The user controls are not intuitive. If you're at a course with 3 nine-hole options (say playing the Mountain and Lake course but not the Valley), the unit gets confused and starts you over, puts you on the wrong course, etc. It has a proprietary plug for the computer/charger, not a standard USB-mini, so you can't use the same cord to connect as charge as other devices like your BlackBerry, cell phone, digital camera, etc. Loading courses is slow, and not 100%. I've loaded updates of courses, only to get to the course and find the one I'm playing is not on the unit.

Fantastic and a sure stroke saver. I am easily saving 2-3 strokes a round with GolfLogix. What did I do before I has GolfLogix!!! Easy to use and easy to update. I've gotten three rounds before having to change batteries. I don't hesitate to recommend.

I play at a local Military Public course that has been known for inaccurate distances on sprinkler heads. Since using the GolfLogix GPS I am more confident on the club I select to go the distance I know is accurate. I am just a recreational golfer now, but approximate my handicap at 10. I feel I can reduce that even further using the GolfLogix System.

Rating: - Just what I need and nothing more.
The GolfLogix GPS by Garmin, 2008 model, gives me just what I want and nothing more. I want distances to hazards and distances to clear them, and distances to front/middle/back of greens. Anything else would be frivolous and unnecessary to my needs. Clipped on my belt it's handy and accessible, unlike a laser or optical viewfinder that requires one to take it from a bag, steady it (difficult at best), and replace it in the bag. That adds about a minute to each shot, and really upsets those with you and behind you.
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's No.3 bank joined larger rivals seeking to raise funds to counter growing bad loans, deepening the economic gloom in Asia Wednesday, as markets fretted over the fate of the sinking U.S. car industry.
