Good song covers, but NO "CHIQUITITA"???? I would have expected that to be part of the movie soundtrack. It's probably the best song ABBA ever did, aside from "Fernando".

It isn't often that I find a book that makes me laugh so much that I couldn't take it anywhere. I also felt obligated to read parts of it aloud to anyone in my family who was nearby. I read the one-star reviews and can only conclude that they actually want to read literature. This isn't it. This

I recently purchased two of the Logitech Cordless TrackMan Wheel trackballs. I needed/wanted one for my desktop Windows PC and one for my desktop Mac. I first hooked it up and installed it on the Windows PC and immediately loved it. Its ergonomic design makes it very comfortable (only for right hand

Spend the Money on the V300
8/13/2008
I am ecstatic that I have added the Sonocaddie V300 to my golf bag. It is a nice piece of equipment. I have not played as much golf this year as I usually do, but I have been successful every time I have searched for a course I was going to play. It is very user friendly. I really like the pro scorecard feature because it tracks your stats with minimal input.

The sole missing feature is a moving cursor on the courses with the full color layouts. It does a good job of describing the major points of interest and the shape of the holes with the full layout. However, if you want real detail for lay-up purposes you have to program additional markers on specific holes for the next time you play that course (not very useful if you are only going to play the course once).

Thank You.

Sonocaddie is awsome. The only drawback so far is a few courses have not been mapped and one course I played had 2 holes reversed, but for the most part the distances are within 2 yards of what course markers say. I think this is a great product and would highly reccomend.

Thank You.

Worth every penny!
7/28/2008
I did a lot of research about the different golf GPS units on the market and read a lot of reviews. Of the other devices, those that had more features (and were more expensive) often got disappointing reviews while those that were more basic often got great reviews. The Sonocaddie V300 seemed to be the only one with advanced features and great reviews so my concern was only that there were so few reviews. I attempted to find the Sonocaddie in my local golf stores and ultimately called the company where I was informed that they were currently only selling the unit online. I decided to take the risk and order the V300 and I'm glad that I did.

I registered for the "Birdie" membership with Sonocaddie for $30 for the life of the product that gives me unlimited access to U.S. courses. Every course that I would want to play in my area (Utah) was available. It was very easy to download the courses that I planned to play and load them on the V300.

I have used the V300 4 times since I purchased it and I'm loving it more each time. It is extremely easy to use and very accurate, typically within 1 to 2 yards of the markers on the course. Some courses had many additional points already marked on the holes, and for the ones that didn't it was very easy for me to add my own to mark places where I wanted to lay up or how far to the end of the fairway on a dog leg for future rounds. It takes only several seconds to add your own points. The Pro scorecard feature is also wonderful and gives you a detailed analysis of each round you score on it.

So far, I have to say that this was a great purchase and will take strokes off my score. It is feature rich and easy to use. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Thank You.

Bummed
7/28/2008
I'm bummed about this GPS. I was pretty excited about it. Got it Friday, tried it for the first time today. And I'm sending it back.

GPS info to the green was accurate on 16/18 holes. The other two weren't even close - I was standing just off the green, and it said I was 100+ yards away.

But, even worse, the course layout information wasn't even close. Only one or two holes even resembled the holes we were playing!! More than half seemed to be inverted - showed me standing on the green when I was in the tee box, and showed me at the tee when we got to the green!! It was just the layout - the yardage showed the correct distance to the green, even though the picture showed it at the other end of the fairway.

Maybe it's just really bad luck on this first course I tried, but it was so far wrong that I'm not going to bother trying more.

Thank You.

Very functional GPS
7/4/2008
I received this GPS yesterday and used it today after quickly reviewing the basic manual. The GPS is relatively small and easy to carry around. The screen is very bright and easy to read in direct sunlight. This GPS is fairly intuitive once you know what each button functionally represents.

My buddies and I have tried various GPSes and laser rangefinders. The newer generation of GPSes such as SonoCaddie and uPro seem to combine the best features of GPSes and laser system.

Pros:
1) Top down graphical view of entire hole not just the green
2) Relative distances to hazards on the hole
3) Ability to add/edit icon waypoints on each the hole
4) GPS tracks quickly and accurately
5) Track and analyze previously played rounds
6) Rugged and weather sealed against the elements
6) Rechargeable system that provides 12+ hours of usage (not verified)
7) Stores 30 courses in memory
8) Free one year membership to download all courses (limited time)

Cons:
1) Manual is pathetic
2) Buttons are stiff and must be pressed very hard
3) GPS reacts sluggishly when browsing through list of courses
4) Some buttons/features are not functional on certain screen views
5) GPS looks cute

In general, I'm very pleased with this product. My friends who own SkyCaddie SG4, Skycaddie SG2 and Bushnell Pinseeker rangefinder really liked the SonoCaddie.

Thank You.
