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.

You get the distance to the front/center/back of green for each hole.

The GolfLogix GPS-8 includes Garmin's high sensitivity, 12-channel GPS receiver which ensures faster satellite acquisition time and superior accuracy. Nicely compact in your hand, it weighs 5.3 ounces with batteries and measures 1.2 inches thin. The case is 100 percent waterproof (submersible in water per IPX7 standard tests) and is shock-proof and impact-resistant for rugged outdoor use. The large LCD screen (1.25 by 2.25 inches) has a 64 x 128 pixel resolution and features excellent visibility in direct sunlight with adjustable screen contrasts and backlight screen setting for dark playing conditions.

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.

Easily download course data using the GolfLogix software, and store up to 20 courses in the GPS-8 at one time.

The included, simple-to-use software lets you download up to 20 golf course maps on your unit at one time. Simply connect your GolfLogix GPS to your personal computer, and the software walks you through a few easy steps to download golf course maps from the GolfLogix database of more than 15,000 golf courses. The software is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista as well as Mac OS X (Tiger/Leopard). Download your favorite course for free or become a member for a low annual subscription fee and gain access to the entire worldwide database.

Other features include:

Distance of last shot feature
Large number displays that are easy to read for all ages and eye-visions
Personalized name on main screens for security and anti-theft
Displays in yards or meters
Includes multi-use belt or bag clip
GolfLogix Course Manager software with USB drivers
1-year warranty

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

As Advertised December 2, 2008
I have had the Garmin for a few months now - it performs very well with the exception of one hole on my home course where the distances are off. Ease of use is excellent - turn it on and go. I am getting about 2 1/2 rounds out of the batteries - might be worth the investment to get a rechargeable unit. A friend had a Sky Caddie at another local course and the course was not mapped - we used my unit. All in all very happy with the purchase - has really helped my short iron game.

better than a caddie! November 22, 2008
What a great gadget! Instant yardages on course without the caddie (or me) taking 3 minutes to flip through the yardage book or having to take out the "gun" from its holster, aim & wait for the yardage to come on screen. Yardage to hazards & doglegs automatically come on screen. As you walk down the fairways, the yardage is updated with each step you take - amazing!
Tons of courses available online plus some courses that SkyCaddie does not have.

GOLFLOGIX CUSTOMER SERVICE ROCKS!!! November 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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!

Garmin GolfLogix November 4, 2008
My 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.
