 What ever golfer needs! October 8, 2008
The Golf Guru is by far the best golf GPS unit on the market today. The Guru not only gives distances to the green but most major obstacles such as bunkers, water hazards and fairway ends on doglegs. On top of this, the Guru allows you to add distances that are important on your course and/or allows you make your own maps if you desire. GolfLogix only allows you to use their predrawn maps often which are lacking real important distances such as how far is it to a water hazard and they charge for more then one downloaded map. SkyCaddie has an expensive yearly membership fee and some folks questions the accuracy of their unit. GolfBuddy has a good selection of courses but not the ones I play. From my observation new courses are not added quickly and you can not map your own course. SureshotGPS allows the golfer to map their own course and has limited premapped courses to select from.
The best thing about the Golf Guru is the customer service!!! If a course map is not available just enter a request and within a short time it becomes available. If you have a question email them and they respond very quickly sometimes within minutes. You can also phone them. The software is updated on a regular basis and all this for no extra yearly fee.
The Golf Guru has so many features that the unit needs several button to use them all. Some people may find this more then they want to deal with. I find that once set, the unit needs little attention unless you want extra information or you want to use the scoring feature. If you have the skills to operate a computer and can read this note, you have plenty of knowledge to use the Golf Guru. Downloading course information is a simple process and with the ability to hold 20 course maps I cover most of the courses I play. If I need more I just delete a course and add a new one, you can always added it back later.
I would buy the Golf Guru again in a heart beat.
Golf Guru GPS is great October 4, 2008
i have used the device twice now. its awesome......it was extremely accurate. the website was easy to use. customer support has been extremely responsive. i have requested 2 courses to be added to website and was done w/in 2 days. the software just got upgraded and i was emailed to uninstall and reinstall and used it yesterday......worked great. i love the scoring and statistics feature to keep track of greens in regulation and fairways and putts per hole %. i would never play golf w/o it again. i haven't used other gps devices but a friend has a laser finder....but you have to be able to see the target especially the pin. yesterday i had a blind shot from 130 yards away and put it w/in 8 feet w/o seeing the pin....just knowing the pin position and adjusting the pin placement on the guru. people i played with...my wife and a friend continued to ask me how far to the water..how far to the first trap...how far to the pin and back of green........unbelievable. i am going to go map my driving range for practice and accuracy today.Gps Golf Guru
Golf Guru September 19, 2008
I purchased the Golf Guru after having had needed too many repairs on several Bushnell golf binoculars. Bushnell refused to solder a broken part of the battery compartment and wanted me to purchase a third pair of golf binocs for $350. So instead, I decided to go with a GPS device and Golf Guru had very positive reviews.
I am very happy that I did as I am quite pleased with the Golf Guru. The courses are added on through an internet site for free. Should a course not be present, the Golf Guru Gods will add it for you in several days. They are responsive to e-mail requests and outside of a couple of minor glitches on a hole or two, the Golf Guru is accurate to the yard.
An amazing feature is the ability to move the flag by moving it on your screen so you adjust to front, side, middle and rear green placements. This assists considerably on approach shots. I would highly recommend this golf GPS model. FIVE STARS without hesitation........
 Golf Guru GPS Unit September 17, 2008
I read a lot of reviews before deciding on GolfGuru as my GPS of choice. Hands down the customer service at this company is A-One. If you have to call, you speak to a real person after selecting which department you want, that alone is refreshing, they even spoke my language!
I had a problem trying to map my own course and kept getting a 999 yard ghost reading for a 320 yard hole.
I received a replacement unit today, just in case there was something wrong with my initial one, which I am sending back.
The President of Golf Guru even emailed me saying that he was made aware by his customer service unit of the possible problem and guaranteed they would investigate what happened and fix it. I have a feeling the problem was with the mapper and not the device. It is refreshing to see customer service like we all hope to find in a company we do business with, to many fail to meet their own reported standards, not this one.
The device itself is compact, rugged and after a few minutes playing around with the various option buttons easy to use. Set up is almost too easy, downloading the courses only requires you register at their web site, select the GC's from a list, then sync the software (that you have to install) and device plugged into a USB port. It took me 10 minutes to install the software, register, select the GC's I wanted and download them to my GPS unit. I asked them to map a GC not listed and it took about 6 days until I could download it. No, as in ZERO, yearly dues is another positive feature.
There are many different GPS brands on the market, all of which are pretty good. What sets GolfGuru apart is the little things, such a SUPER customer service, compact design and no annual fees.
