Editorial Review: Product Description: Garmin GolfLogix GPS-8 features: Minimum System Requirements* Amazon.com Product Description: Enjoy the advantage of GPS mapping on the golf course with the GolfLogix GPS-8 handheld unit, which calculates and displays distances to the front, center and back of every green along with hazards. The most precise, durable and user-friendly golf GPS on the market, this new version of the GolfLogix now recognizes what course you are playing automatically.
Wherever you are on the course, GolfLogix displays the key distances to hazards and the green in big bold numbers all on a sleek black palm-sized device. The screen advances automatically to all of the targets on the golf course so there are no buttons to push or lasers to point during your round. The GolfLogix GPS-8 can store the following data on each hole: front/center/back of green; hazards; bunkers; water; lay-ups; and carries.
Other features include:
What are the advantages of GolfLogix GPS versus other yardage devices? A handheld GPS device, such as GolfLogix GPS, offers more flexibility during a typical round of golf. You can bring the GPS to the ball and get more accurate distance data. Unlike other laser devices, there is no need to point and aim or have a direct line of sight to the hazard or hole. How do I get golf course maps on my GolfLogix GPS? Included with your initial purchase is access to download a single golf course map of your choice. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions in the Quick Start Guide located in the box to download the Course Manager Software from the GolfLogix Web site. Then follow the registration and activation screens on your computer to obtain your free golf course map. With a $29.95 annual membership, you can download an unlimited amount of golf courses worldwide (currently more than 15,000 in the database) and have access to GolfLogix product enhancements and upgrades. Is using a GPS distance device allowed under USGA regulations? The USGA and R&A both recently sanctioned the use of satellite-based yardage measuring devices during competition. Specifically, decision 14-3/0.5 allows a committee to permit the use of distance measuring devices by Local Rule. Golfers should check with their golf professional prior to use in a USGA sanctioned event. GPS devices have always been permitted in handicap scoring in recreational rounds. What's in the Box?

 Rating:  - Lock ups make this thing a nightmare!!We bought the Golf Logix 2008 model in Spring of this year (2008) and at first, it was wonderful. After about 6 weeks, it began "locking up" where none of the buttons would work, and we had to pull out the batteries to get it turned off. Per the Golf Logix support team, you HAVE to "connect the unit to a PC and reset the options" while connected to the internet to get it to work again. Fine, except it fails on the first hole or so, and I don't have a PC with an internet connection on the course, ...

It's compatible with my Mac and the fee is less than Skycaddie as well as having a couple of local course that Skycaddie does not have. So far have played 72 holes with it on the same set of batteries. Rating:  - OK but has some serious faultsI ordered this product because of the Garmin name, the 30 day return policy, and the fact that it is battery powered. I already have a Sureshot re-chargeable golf GPS unit. The first problem I encountered was the necessity to pay a $30 subscription in order to test the unit. I ultimately returned the unit well within the 30 days, but was out the $30 subscription fee. I chose the unit initially because I sometimes forget and leave my Sureshot on the charger. I liked the item of a battery ... Read More Rating: - Solid unit ... but a little disappointedThe GolfLogix GPS is a very basic, straightforward golf GPS. I would definitely recommend it. Any disappointment I've experienced is due more to my high (unreasonable?) expectations than the quality of the product. For example, I was expecting a high tech, color display. Instead, the display is black and white and looks like something out of the late 80's. I'm technically proficient and I sometimes find it difficult to navigate the screens without getting lost. With time I've found the best ... Read More Rating: - Zero customer support!I purchased a 2008 Garmin GPS 3 weeks ago. It's accuracy was marginal, needing to be 'modified' on several of the holes on my home course. Furthermore, the worst part, I made 3 (THREE) calls to customer support and none of them were returned. Each time I was instructed to leave a name and number and an associate would get back to me within 24 hours....NOT! Of the two courses I used with the device, I had to modify both to increase accuracy to where I trusted the device on those courses. I ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
