Rated 5 out of 5 stars
lots of features in this golf gps
My second golf GPS, I had a sono caddie for 4 years, which worked pretty well, but kept running into courses which weren't loaded in the unit or the front nine would be OK but not the back. This GPS with 30,000 courses, I'm hoping won't have thone problems. Has performed well thus far, accuracy seems good. I like the club suggestion features as well as the pin pointer, a couple of the features that weren't available on less expensive models. With the lifetime updates , I'm anticipating getting many years of use out of this.

Good but key feature does not work so far
Seems to work pretty good as far as a GPS goes but the pin pointer feature is off by a good bit at my home course. I have went thru the calibration several times with no luck. I don't really understand how the distance from the hole is correct but the pin pointer says the hole is way off to the side. Other then that it seems to be a sturdy device.
