 Golf Buddy September 3, 2008
I purchased this product for a golf trip to New Mexico. It worked like a charm as you don't need to download courses. Show up on the course and it finds your location immediately. The only negative is the moving of the curser on the green to show pin location. Takes too long to move!
 Great tool August 14, 2008

I bought the unit, took it home, charged it up, turned it on, it works.
The following day I went to the golf course, turned it on. The unit found the golf course I Was going to play, but with another golf course info. Played with it trying to get the correct info, got frustrated and turned it off.
When I got home, I turned on the computer, went to the Golf Buddy website. Followed the instructions, plugged in the Golf Buddy and registered the unit.
The next day I went to the same golf course, and turned on the unit. The unit found the golf course and the correct tees, hooray!!!! I recommend registering the unit first.
The Golf Buddy works as stated. No monthly or yearly fees, and all my golfing friends want to use it, I have to take it away from them so I can use it. I Highly recommend this Unit.
Have used it at 3 golf courses in San Jose and 3 in Temecula, and it works great.
