Summary: golf buddy pro
Comment: I bought this unit a couple of weeks ago and played at one of my local courses .The gb left out the tree in the middle of the fairway. I was a little bummed but thought I`d try another course, well that wasn`t so good also . I was standing at the 100 marker on a par five and it was telling me I was at 120. Well as you know that can`t happen so back to the skycaddie 2.

Summary: 20,000 course capacity, auto course & hole recognition
Comment: I did a lot of research on all the golf GPS units on the market and chose the GolfBuddy Pro because of its huge 20,000 course capacity, automatic course and hole recognition, ease of use, reasonable price, and lack of a subscription fee. They currently have about 12,000 courses mapped in the U.S. and another 4,000 outside the U.S. They don't have as many courses mapped as SkyCaddie or iGolf, but I've noticed they have been adding courses quickly. Most of the courses I had been looking for were already mapped and most of the ones that weren't were added within 3 wks. The GolfBuddy takes about 2 minutes to lock onto the satellites and 1-2 minutes to bring up the course and hole automatically. I turn it on when I approach the clubhouse and it's ready to go on the first hole. Once I discovered that it takes about 5 seconds for the distance to stabilize after you stop walking, the unit's accuracy has been quite good. I tested the accuracy against the 150 yd marker on 8 holes and found it to be within 3 yds on 6 of those holes and within 5 yds on all 8. Most holes already have all the important targets mapped, but it's easy to add your own targets if needed (e.g. distance to doglegs). I love the shot distance feature, which requires the push of just one button. It's really useful to know how far I hit each club.

Comment: golf buddy pro works well. I like the feature that it just finds the course you are playing automatically, doesn't require the course to be downloaded by the owner prior to use and doesn't require an annual fee to use any of the courses that it offers. Would recommend this product to anyine.

Summary: Golf Buddy
Comment: I purchased this product for a golf trip to New Mexico. It worked like a charm as you don't need to download courses. Show up on the course and it finds your location immediately. The only negative is the moving of the curser on the green to show pin location. Takes too long to move!

Summary: Great tool
Comment: I bought the unit, took it home, charged it up, turned it on, it works.
The following day I went to the golf course, turned it on. The unit found the golf course I Was going to play, but with another golf course info. Played with it trying to get the correct info, got frustrated and turned it off.
When I got home, I turned on the computer, went to the Golf Buddy website. Followed the instructions, plugged in the Golf Buddy and registered the unit.
The next day I went to the same golf course, and turned on the unit. The unit found the golf course and the correct tees, hooray!!!! I recommend registering the unit first.
The Golf Buddy works as stated. No monthly or yearly fees, and all my golfing friends want to use it, I have to take it away from them so I can use it. I Highly recommend this Unit.
Have used it at 3 golf courses in San Jose and 3 in Temecula, and it works great.
