The Garmin Golflogix worked just fine three times and then stopped working. The company says they will replace it, but that was a week ago and I have as yet to receive the replacement.

Comment:
Just had to let people know some of my thoughts about the 2008 GolfLogix GPS and it's Customer Support.
First of all, I am and have been very thoroughly pleased & satisfied with the choice I made to purchase my first GolfLogix GPS (instead of the other well-known competitors) a year or so ago. It is the coolest thing going! Not only is it simple to use (which is key for me), but it also has greatly enhanced the game for me and my friends and made it more interesting & fun. It's surprising how quickly some of my skeptical golfing pals & acquaintances realize just how neat it is once out on the course ... Especially after getting some of the jealous snickers & stares from them before a round. Most of them I believe are the kind that wouldn't even think about spending a buck on some sort of gadget. But how their attitudes change after experiencing playing a round with it and seeing how much guess work it takes out of the game. This is quite notable on blind-holes, or holes with yardages that just don't seem to jive with what is posted or marked on some courses, or when the tee-box markers are moved. This surprises many, and helps all of us to finally realize (after many years) why our ball never traveled the distance we hoped it would because on the club selection we'd made based of those posted yardages or markers. And how helpful it is to know the distances to & over hazards, to lay-ups, and how far it is to the front, middle & back of greens. What a difference this makes when being able to make a more decisive decision on how we (hope to) play a shot.
I loved last years G7 model (which I sold to my best friend), and now I am enjoying the heck out the new upgraded G8 model! In fact, my best bud liked the new one so much that he went and ordered one too (jealousy I guess?). Thus we both just decided to keep the G7 for a back-up (or to lend it out to our 'deep-pocketed' golf pals). And why not keep it?... It surely served our golfing needs way more than we could of hoped for ... But then again it is powered by Garmin, a #1 leader in satellite/gps technology! But I must say that all of the newly added features & upgrades to the new G8 model are not only an improvement, but now inject even more enjoyment into the game for my friends and I. Not having to calculate in our heads anymore as to just how far we hit our tee-ball, last shot, or to lay-up distances are just a few that really come in handy at times ... Not to mention that more courses can now be downloaded & saved to the unit itself, and how it now automatically finds those courses. Golflogix has just about thought of everything that is of importance or interest in a round of golf. AND on top of that, it is durably constructed and waterproof ... WOW what more could anybody want?! It is so simple and user friendly beyond expectations, that a monkey (and even some of my '?' buddies) could use it! Hey, who wants to be distracted by having to push all kind of buttons -or scroll to different screens to get information wanted or needed while playing a round ... That wouldn't be fun at all! So THANKS GolfLogix & Garmin ... You've definitely collaborated & designed the best golf gps product on the market and for the money, hands down!! Let me also point out that the $29.95 yearly-fee (a mere pittance of $2.50 per month / $.82 a day) for unlimited course downloads seems so incredible to me, especially since there are some 17,000+ (and counting) courses to choose from. UNBELIEVABLE! ... Simply an unbelievable deal!!
AND NOW to get to another very important reason I was compelled to write this review. It is about GolfLogix's customer service / technical support department, one that I am SO HAPPY to express my appreciation for, and consider more like friends! What great representatives for the GolfLogix and Garmin names! Also, what an absolute pleasure it is to have a group of rep's like that on the other end-of-the-line to speak with. One can only imagine just how swamped they must be with their daily duties to insure that their product is the best on the market, or with taking phone-calls and replying to email ... yet they respond very cordially as though you are the one most important person they need to satisfy. Not only are they friendly, helpful people with knowledge & enthusiasm about their product, but they go (beyond) that extra mile to do their absolute best to insure that dealing with GolfLogix is as good & enjoyable an experience as possible! If only all customer support dept.'s were like the GolfLogix team ... What a wonderful world it would be! They have always (from the beginning) made me feel totally welcome to call anytime, and never made me feel as though I am a bother. How great is that! Prompt returns calls, email replies, and the immediacy to resolve any questions, problems or re-mapping is foremost on their daily agenda ... I really like that! Yes, such a like-able bunch they are, that it will keep me coming back to these two respectful Companies in the future. Y'ALL GET A PAT ON THE BACK FROM ME! ... I'm a GOLFLOGIX (and Garmin) fan for life!
HEY ANDREW ... U-da-Man!!

Comment:
The GolfLogix I purchased was all that I wanted from a golf GPS and more. The large print makes it ideal for golfers that have difficulty reading small print. It is simple to download the various golf courses and the price could not be beat. I like th idea of just using regular batteries rather that having to remember to recharge it after each use. Very happy with the information and accuracy my GolfLogix provides and suggest others to purchase this product.

I ordered this unit on Wednesday at about 2 p.m. with overnight delivery. Got it about 9 a.m. on Thursday. WOW!!! Took the unit out of the box, downloaded the software, picked a local course that I wanted to play and loaded it into the unit. At 1 p.m. the same day I was standing at the first tee and the unit was showing me the distances to the bunkers in the fairway. During the round I checked the unit with several of the distances marked on the sprinkler heads. This unit was spot on every time. Within two yards of the courses distances.
I ordered this unit (2007 model) because of the price. There a few subtle differences between this and the 2008 model. 1) 2008 can hold 20 courses compared to 10 on the 2007 model. (don't think I need 20 courses right now) 2) 2008 model can show the distance of the last shot whereas the 2007 model won't. (I can still add and subtract so I don't really need that feature.
So, this unit is everything that I hoped it would be. I will certainly enjoy my rounds of golf more not having to look for yardage markers and sprinkler heads. I am currently working on a GPS golf ball that will automatically track to the center of the fairway and the pin placements on the greens. I will keep you posted when it is available.
Seriously, if you are in the market for a golf gps, go with a proven name: GARMIN. I have no complaints about mine.

Comment:
I thought you could download more than 10 courses at a time. Some of the courses that I play are not listed and I have asked for them to be mapped and downloaded to my list. The course that I play most is not mapped correctly. I am a little disappointed.
