Purchased this product in August; wanted to use it for a while prior to evaluating its effectiveness on the course, and to assess the Swami Customer Service responsiveness. I am giving this product 5 Stars for; price, usefulness on the course and customer service. The screen is easy to view, love the separate screen to show carry distances to bunkers, doglegs and water. The battery easily lasts 2 rounds; I have not tried 3 rounds, but it might last if you are a fast player. I love that it's a single purchase with free course updates and no annual fees!!! I have found Customer Service to provide timely responses to my inquiries regarding adding new courses, and to promptly assist me with understanding their process for adding courses and loading course updates via Windows. True, it doesn't give 'live yardage' to the pin in play, but this product is fantastic in every other way that I really can't complain. This is great value for the money!

I have used the equipment several times while playing golf. The distance measurements seem to be very accurate.

If you are a gadget lover...this is for you. Small size and easy portable.

This is a handy fun item for the golf course. Easy to use and read..

Had friends with older model and they all liked the product
