User Reviews about GolfLogix Garmin GPS
I am not "tech/computer savvy" but even I have been able to easily add/delete courses on the Golflogix website.Distances are accurate. I am a short hitter so the GPS is most important to me inside 100 yards.200...210...doesn't matter much to me because I can't get it there anyway.Distance to layup yardage with Golflogix is great!Once near the green it eliminates guessing...searching for clues for "is it 40...60 or 80 yards?".I have already had several situations where I would have guessed wrong by 20 yards from close range.It's the difference between being in the middle of the green instead of the middle of the front bunker!!
I had read reviews about battery problems. I got 3 1/2 rounds from my first pair of batteries that came with the unit...very good lifespan.I bought the charger and rechargeable batteries that were on Amazon.
I highly recommend [...] A friend who has the same GPS gave me the Caddie Buddy GPS holder that easily attaches to the cart. This puts the GPS securely in place and easy to read. Also easy to remove to hand carry for those short shots inside of the "no carts" markers near the greens.
For the price from Amazon I think this GPS is an outstanding value...especially if you add the Caddie Buddy.
I bought a simple keychain with name/number tag at Home Depot and attached it to my Golflogix just in case I leave it in the cart. -- Met My Expectations!!
After using both the skycaddie and my new golflogix gps I have to say that I really prefer the golflogix. I think this product is at a great price point taking into consideration initial cost and long term fees compared. This product is extremely easy to use and is not distracting at all during the round of play (Turn it on and forget about the rest). Distances seem to be very accurate and I was quite surprised to find all of my local courses to be available. I highly recommend this product to any one considering a golf gps or laser finder device. -- Great product
Pro: Cost, ease of use.
Con: Ridiculous interface cable.
This device gets constant use here in the Los Angeles area and would get 5 stars if the designers had used a normal computer interface cable with a better connector at the GolfLogix end.
There is also a nice feature, not mentioned anywhere, where distances to the nearest hazard and layup points pop up on the display. Probably some cost saving measure not to update the literature. But all in all, for the smart shopper, it works quite well. Too bad GPS technology can't improve my mercurial golf swing.

The reason I purchased the Golf Logic is because my golfing partner had one! I come to Texas in the winter and he still works, therefore I needed one of my own. I t is very easy to program and gives me the information I need for each shot. It will give you confidence in your shot making, because you have all the necessary information, yardage, hazards, etc. All you have to do is excute the shot :-) which may or may not be easy. -- The best of Golf Logic
I have found the Garmin to be especially helpful on approach shots and in my pitching. Also is great when golfing an unfamiliar course. Best gift I ever received. -- Garmin Logix
