 Excellent device that works great!! August 18, 2008
I got the Golf Guru last week, one week after ordering direct from Golf Guru( their shipping price was $3.00 less than Amazon and they give an option of AC or in car charger).
My favorite course wasn't on their list so I requested that it be added. It took 6 days to create it.
Played first round yesterday. Unit powered up immediately (note the first time it will take a while since it isn't anywhere near where it was the last time it was turned on). Unit worked great. I finally know how long my drives are and the distances to the green. I can even move the flag on the green to adjust for this round's location. Unit fit in my pocket with no problems and it really light.
I can also add or change items on the course, if necessary. They provide an excellent 77 page manual along with a quick reference guide, but the controls are very easy to understand and use.
Bottom line: I'm very happy with the unit.
 Round 2 Goes to GPS Golf Guru August 12, 2008
I am quite pleased with the Golf Guru unit. My first GPS Golf Unit was a Sky Caddie II. The GPS Golf Guru has much superior ergonomics and more features.
I have been able to download courses for everywhere I play regularly. When I submitted a request to add Skylinks Golf Course in Long Beach, the course was made available in 24 hours. Harbor Park took over 7 days, but it is now on my unit. I am travelling to Maui next week and every course I am interested in playing has been transferred to the Golf Guru GPS Device.
The GolfGuru provides distances to reach and clear obstacles on the course, keeps score and statistics such as GIR & Putts.
The only reason I don't give this device 5 stars is that the screen is at the bottom with the navigation buttons placed above the screen. I can't wrap my mind around placing the screen a the bottom and reaching over the screen to make my selections. Other than that minor nit, it is a very useful intuitive tool for the golf course.
GPS Golf Guru August 10, 2008
I am very happy with the GPS GolfGuru, both with the actual item and with the support that the company provides. They have answered all my questions with accurate information and have rapidly added several courses to my search profile. All in all it is a great product and one heck of a value. It has also assisted me in my attempts to improve my game with accurate yardage information. If the ever come out with a color screen model, I will quickly buy it.

I bought the gps golf guru about a month ago. At first I was disappointed as only one course out of the six that I regularly play was mapped. I sent in a request for them to map the other courses and within two weeks all of them were available. One of them had the front and back nines reversed, but that was due to the course having been renumbered some time ago. Again, within a week of my notifying them the correction was made. I THINK THAT IS GREAT SERVICE, and would recommend this item to everyone.

First, I have to say that the customer service for this company is amazing. I ordered the golf guru through amazon.com because I had a gift card. I wanted the carrying case but it wasn't offered on the amazon.com website. So I purchased the carrying case through their own website on the same day. Unfortunatly, I was going to have to pay shipping on both products since they were not purchased together. I received an email the next day telling me that they noticed I made 2 seperate purchases and they would ship them together and only charge me for shipping on the golf guru unit and not the carrying case. I knew right away this was going to be a great company to deal with.
Second, I loved the golf guru as soon as I got it. It is so easy to use and download the courses I wanted. The screen functions are easy to see and use. I love that you can map a course out if you want to. My friend has the Sky caddie and he gets no reception at several courses we play in Long Island...I am able to get reception on every couse every time.
Third, the statistics portion is awesome. As you play your round it will ask you at the end of each hole for your score, if you made GIR, FIR, and how many putts. At the end of the round you will get all your stats for the round, % of GIR, % of FIR, and avg. putts per hole. This is very handy if your into keeping stats.
Lastly, I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to know "how far away am I" which is just about everyone.
GREAT PRODUCT, VERY VERY HAPPY.
