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? GolfLogix GPS, USB cable, belt/bag clip, 2 AA alkaline batteries, printed instructions Average Rating:
 Rating:  - great golf course aidA great thing to have to know just where to aim the little white ball...selected this one based on other reviews.. Rating: - Great GolfLogixI have been very happy with my GolfLogix. It is everything that was promised. I have used it on five different courses and found it to be very exact. I would recommend it to anyone. Rating:  - All around bad productAll around bad product. The three major courses I play in Anchorage, AK are poorly mapped by GolfLogix. Many, if not all, of the major hazards were not mapped. The format for the hazards that were noted on the unit were not useful as the distance to carry the hazard was not given. The software would jump to an adjacent hole and I could not get the unit to return to the hole I was playing, then to advance to the next hole in play I would have to reset the unit. The unit locked up repeatedly ... Read More Rating: - Simple - love itI chose this product because it sounded simpler than some of the others out there. I love that I just turn it on and page through to find the course I'm at from the ones I've downloaded, then it does the rest, automatically scrolling from one hole to the next. I was worried that having "only" 6 features per hole would be limiting, but it has been fine. It has the key traps, doglegs, etc., that I need to take into account in choosing my club. With this on my bag, I play much faster, and I'm making different ... Read More Rating:  - Works for meI find the Golflogix -2008 accurate enough for me. In fact I think I have broken 90, 3 of the last 4 times I played because of it. Two shortcomings should be overcome by Garmin- For no apparent reason, the unit would sometimes revert back to the first hole. I have to scroll through to get back to the hole I am playing. Secondly, compared to the golf caddie, it seems that distances to and over sand and water is limited - adding more course info that we can scroll through would be helpful. ... Read More |
