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:  - GOLFLOGIX CUSTOMER SERVICE ROCKS!!!I got the unit for my birthday and it worked really well my first 3 rounds. All the sudden the unit locked up and wouldn't scroll through the holes or turn off at all. I called GolfLogix customer service VERY frustrated. They logged on my computer right away, did some technical mumbo jumbo, and it has worked perfectly ever since. All in five minutes!It's nice to know even though a product can have problems that they care enough to fix it right away! Rating: - easy to donwload, simple to operatethis works perfectly and is very simple to operate. alot of fun to use. what more could one want? Rating: - Garmin GolfLogixMy Garmin GolfLogix is my second gps device for golf. I have owned a SkyCaddie for about two years and after spending over $100 per year on it,decided to try something else. The GolfLogix is easier to use and vastly superior in several ways. Simple to get the courses I want on it; simple to use and accurate. And unlike SkyCaddie ($60), the batteries are cheap. Garmin makes a great product. Rating: - Logix is wonderful except for the battery glichThe Garmin GPS is a useful and easy to use tool to help you decide which club to select when playing golf. I would give them four stars but I am having some trouble with the batteries. The batteries are getting very hot to the touch and running out of juice after three rounds of golf. I contacted GolfLogix by e-mail and did not receive a reply. I telephoned Golflogix and after a ten minute wait I was told there is a slight glich and a fix would be put on line to download the same week. It has ... Read More Rating: - GolfLogix GPS by GARMIN (2008 Model)Item works great! Easy to download courses to your computer and then transfer to the GPS unit. Unit holds up to 20 courses. Doesn't have pictures of the green like the Sky Caddy and others but all I wanted to know was distances to front, center and back. Unit provides distances to fairway obstacles and clearance for obstacles. Overall price was better than comparable units and the yearly fee of around $30 to obtain access to all US courses also suited me better. |
