Amazon.com Product DescriptionEnjoy 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.
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.
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.

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.
Customer Reviews
Easy to use. Exactly what I was looking for. 
Before buying this GPS I looked at and handled several other products including the Sky Caddie. Unless you are looking for a color screen (why?) you will really enjoy using the GolfLogix GPS. The information is easy to understand, readily available without pushing a million buttons and the idea here is to play golf not play "Use the GPS". Throughout the entire round of golf you merely look at the unit. Never needed to search for anything. Also, consider the fact that this GPS uses batteries. There is no need to concern yourself about running out of "juice" during a round of golf. Just carry a spare set of AA batteries with you, and pop them in if necessary. You are back in business very quickly. I am very happy with my decision to purchase the GolfLogix GPS.
Golflogix GPS Great Bought the Golflogix GPS and it was everything I hoped it would be. It works just like advertised. I really like the fact it operates on AA batteries rather than having to charge it. Friends of mine forget to charge theirs and they are done. It is very simple to operate unlike the other brands. As always Amazon made it an easy transaction.
