After my purchase, Amazon dropped the price by $4. I sent them an email and they refunded the difference. How many merchants will do that? Many of my golf partners have the SkyCaddie SG-2 and I think that the GolfLogix is by far the superior product. It uses standardAA batteries, although it consumes them quickly. That's not a big problem. I use Energizer rechargeables, and keep an extra set in the bag ready to go. Unlike the SkyCaddie, if the battery goes dead in the middle of a round, all you need to do is pop in a new set and yourback in business by the next hole. All of the courses in my community are covered by GolfLogix, except executive links. On the 1stday of use, a passing rain shower had the SkyCaddie folks scrambling to cover their units. I had no worries with the GolfLogix as it is water resistant. During initial use, I checked the accuracy with every known marker on the course (200, 150 & 100 yards) and the GolfLogix was with twoyards every time. Perhaps the most amazing part of the information is the distance to hazards. 1dogleg on my home course is protected by trees on the right. GolfLogix gave the distance to the trees. Once you set it for the 1sthole, you don't have to touch it again. The screen is very clear and easy to read. I am far sighted and prefer to wear sun glasses instead of reading glasses on the golf course, but I have no problem reading this gps.

Depending on the model employed, some will offer an overview map of each hole, which allows you to preview potential trouble spots that you differently might only have known about after playing the hole and having found them the hard way. Knowing this information gives you the ability to decide on your tactic before you play. Some golf GPS units even include satellite images of each hole.
