Summary: Do your homework before you buy!
Comment: After reading some rediculous reviews and expectations, I decided to write view of my own.
The Garmin GolfLogix is the device for me. Comparing devices determines what is important for YOU.
Knowing how GPS works and limitations can/should save some buyers remorse. (Personal GPS devices do not know distance to the pin) None of them!
My golf game... I'm a 12-15 cap. Not going to be competing anytime soon.
I picked up the Golflogix for 150.00. So the price was right. Not to mention the annual subscription fee is about half of the SkyCaddie comparable service. So I will pay less than $220.00 for two years use.
Skycaddie - between $400-500.
Now, the one thing the skycaddie does the Golflogix does not... The newer SC gives a good general description of the green shape and distances to those points. GLX only gives you front, center, back distances. Can you guess why? Money
SC pays people to go out and mark off the greens. GLX does not. My guess, GLX uses google earth to mark the points of a course. You ever log into Google earth and look at a course your going to play? I've done this type of GPS mapping for a hand held GPS device I had that was not a golf version. It's a pain, but it works.
When I become a scratch golfer, I might have use for th SC's in depth green information. For now front/center/back does just fine.
Build quality? Simular, I do not recommend beating either up. I can say the GLX boasts water proof, SC water resistant. I can say the usb, battery door, buttons, etc, of the GLX look water tight. I will not throw it in the pond, but will not hesitate to leave it out in the rain.
SC will also let you add points to a course, GLX will not. On the other hand GLX will store 20 courses, SC only 10.
It's pretty simple.. Have you ever seen a GLX commercial? I haven't.
How about a SC commercial? Who do you think pays for those commercials?
GLX is a product of Garmin. Garmin is not fly by night... They are not going away.
I don't know much about it, but if you really want bells and whistles, checkout Sonocaddie's website. The V300 is color/3d mapped/will track your rounds, score, lots of stuff "IF" you want to spend the time while golfing to add all the info it requires. They also have cheap models that do less.
Most important, Hit em straight and you'll love ANY GPS device ;)

Summary: Software issues out of the box
Comment: After two days of trying to download software onto unit, learned through customer support about a software issue. Garmin agreed to replace unit, no questions asked. Hopefully, there will be no issues with the replacement.

Comment: Knowing where to try and place the ball using your best clubs is really nice and gives you an advantage. Great from within 100 yards.

Summary: Can't register or download golf courses
Comment: I bought a golf logic from Amazon, and tried to register it on the web so I could download course information. I received a server error when attempting to register. I called Golf logic tech support and they said it was a "rare" problem that some people have. They indicated that I have 2 options: 1) find another PC and try registering, or 2) return the item. They have not discovered the problem root cause because, in their words, it doesn't happen often enough. I returned the item and bought a Golf Buddy which I love because it already has 20,000 courses preloaded and no annual membership fees. Yeah, it was going to cost me $29.95 annually with Golf Logix to download courses.

Comment: I heard about the Garmin Golf logix from a friend of mine who has been playing golf for years. As a beginner, I did not realize the importance of knowing distances to certain hazards let alone the green and flag. This gadget has actually helped my game in knowing how to more accurately select a club for a certain distance. My friends who do not have one YET continue to yell out, "What's the distance..." Highly recommended.
