Summary: On The Mark
Comment: I watched an infomercial on the golf channel for Sky Caddy which peaked my interest enough to decide to purchase a hand held GPS Unit. After watching the infomercial, I decided to do some research on line for hand held GPS devices. What seemed to be a reoccurring theme was that customer service after the purchase was crucial. From all the reviews I read, the Golf Guru GPS unit had the best service after purchase. The unit was also small making it easier to handle and carry on the course.
I purchased the unit and had to call the customer service desk after I received the unit. I probably didn't have to but felt better knowing that someone would be holding my hand while setting up the unit. The customer service rep answered the phone on the 3rd ring and walked me through the entire set up process.
Using the unit is easy and it is accurate. I was able to check yardages with the gps unit on the golf cart at a few courses I played and also with the course yardage markers and found the Golf Guru to be on the mark everytime. The screen was also easy to read in the sunlight.
A bonus you get with this unit is that you do not have to pay an annual membership fee to download courses.
I highly recommend this unit.

Summary: Absolutely Incredible !! This product and service is tops !!
Comment: I did lots of research and review reading before I settled on this GPS and I'll tell you folks, I couldn't be happier. I just got a chance to use it this past weekend at my favorite local course, (which was already available for download), I was amazed at the accuracy of the map. I could count down as I walked towards the green, as my foot touched the fringe the Guru said 0 yards to the front of the green. Every time my ball landed near one of the course yardage markers I checked to see if the Guru agreed and it was always "spot on the money". About the product support. There is another local Golf course that I play several times a season that I wanted to have a map for. I put in a request on Friday evening. The following Monday I got an email stating that my new map was available for download(synching) to my Guru. What more can be said. Your search is over folks ... buy this GPS and enjoy !!

Summary: What ever golfer needs!
Comment: The Golf Guru is by far the best golf GPS unit on the market today. The Guru not only gives distances to the green but most major obstacles such as bunkers, water hazards and fairway ends on doglegs. On top of this, the Guru allows you to add distances that are important on your course and/or allows you make your own maps if you desire. GolfLogix only allows you to use their predrawn maps often which are lacking real important distances such as how far is it to a water hazard and they charge for more then one downloaded map. SkyCaddie has an expensive yearly membership fee and some folks questions the accuracy of their unit. GolfBuddy has a good selection of courses but not the ones I play. From my observation new courses are not added quickly and you can not map your own course. SureshotGPS allows the golfer to map their own course and has limited premapped courses to select from.
The best thing about the Golf Guru is the customer service!!! If a course map is not available just enter a request and within a short time it becomes available. If you have a question email them and they respond very quickly sometimes within minutes. You can also phone them. The software is updated on a regular basis and all this for no extra yearly fee.
The Golf Guru has so many features that the unit needs several button to use them all. Some people may find this more then they want to deal with. I find that once set, the unit needs little attention unless you want extra information or you want to use the scoring feature. If you have the skills to operate a computer and can read this note, you have plenty of knowledge to use the Golf Guru. Downloading course information is a simple process and with the ability to hold 20 course maps I cover most of the courses I play. If I need more I just delete a course and add a new one, you can always added it back later.
I would buy the Golf Guru again in a heart beat.

Summary: Golf Guru GPS is great
Comment: i have used the device twice now. its awesome......it was extremely accurate. the website was easy to use. customer support has been extremely responsive. i have requested 2 courses to be added to website and was done w/in 2 days. the software just got upgraded and i was emailed to uninstall and reinstall and used it yesterday......worked great. i love the scoring and statistics feature to keep track of greens in regulation and fairways and putts per hole %. i would never play golf w/o it again. i haven't used other gps devices but a friend has a laser finder....but you have to be able to see the target especially the pin. yesterday i had a blind shot from 130 yards away and put it w/in 8 feet w/o seeing the pin....just knowing the pin position and adjusting the pin placement on the guru. people i played with...my wife and a friend continued to ask me how far to the water..how far to the first trap...how far to the pin and back of green........unbelievable. i am going to go map my driving range for practice and accuracy today.Gps Golf Guru

Summary: Golf Guru
Comment: I purchased the Golf Guru after having had needed too many repairs on several Bushnell golf binoculars. Bushnell refused to solder a broken part of the battery compartment and wanted me to purchase a third pair of golf binocs for $350. So instead, I decided to go with a GPS device and Golf Guru had very positive reviews.
I am very happy that I did as I am quite pleased with the Golf Guru. The courses are added on through an internet site for free. Should a course not be present, the Golf Guru Gods will add it for you in several days. They are responsive to e-mail requests and outside of a couple of minor glitches on a hole or two, the Golf Guru is accurate to the yard.
An amazing feature is the ability to move the flag by moving it on your screen so you adjust to front, side, middle and rear green placements. This assists considerably on approach shots. I would highly recommend this golf GPS model. FIVE STARS without hesitation........

More than just a rangefinder. Better than a personal Caddie. Includes car charger and USB charger.
