Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: golfers little helper. Comment: This product was easy for this 70+ golfer to program. The greatest benefit is inside 120 yards for me. It eoncountered a glitch the 3rd time we used it and the rep who took my phone call had me up and running in less than 15 minutes from the time I placed the call. No problems since. The upgrading system is amazingly simple when a course is reviewed. My wife and I are more than satisfied with the product. Delivery time was amazing. Customer Rating: Summary: A Bogey Comment: I bought this based on the many good reviews, but have been disappointed in many respects. The display lacks detail and can be very difficult to see, particularly in black and white, and the maps don't contain enough course information (distance to/past hazards, etc.) to be all that helpful The user controls are not intuitive. If you're at a course with 3 nine-hole options (say playing the Mountain and Lake course but not the Valley), the unit gets confused and starts you over, puts you on the wrong course, etc. It has a proprietary plug for the computer/charger, not a standard USB-mini, so you can't use the same cord to connect as charge as other devices like your BlackBerry, cell phone, digital camera, etc. Loading courses is slow, and not 100%. I've loaded updates of courses, only to get to the course and find the one I'm playing is not on the unit. Customer Rating: Summary: A STROKE SAVER Comment: Fantastic and a sure stroke saver. I am easily saving 2-3 strokes a round with GolfLogix. What did I do before I has GolfLogix!!! Easy to use and easy to update. I've gotten three rounds before having to change batteries. I don't hesitate to recommend. Customer Rating: Summary: GolfLogix GPS will help your game Comment: I play at a local Military Public course that has been known for inaccurate distances on sprinkler heads. Since using the GolfLogix GPS I am more confident on the club I select to go the distance I know is accurate. I am just a recreational golfer now, but approximate my handicap at 10. I feel I can reduce that even further using the GolfLogix System. Customer Rating: Summary: Love the Golf GPS!! Comment: This gps was a fantastic buy! No tax and very reasonable shipping. FAST service and we're thrilled with the product! You made our 35th wedding anniversary special! Thanks! More Reviews
