 Lack of courses makes Sonocaddie disappointing July 4, 2008
12 out of 16 found this review helpful
Before I ordered the Sonocaddie V300 I checked the list of available courses and was surprised that few courses in Michigan are available. Requests for courses to be mapped by Sonocaddie returned a statement that said satellite information was not available for courses in my area (central Michigan) and therefore Sonocaddie would not be able to provide course mapping for me. I could map the course myself and submit it to Sonocaddie for distribution to others. At the current cost of $399 I find this to be too expensive given that other GPS units have my local courses available. That's too bad because from what I have read the Sonocaddie V300 looks well designed.
 Sonocaddie V300 is a Fantastic Product June 23, 2008

I received my Sonocaddie V300 from Amazon last week. The software installation went well on my laptop but created a minor challenge on my desktop. Registration was trivial, with the "free" Eagle membership being automatically granted without having to request it. I immediately downloaded all the courses I normally play, and the process was quite fast. I have used the Sonocaddie on the course, and it is very effective. I especially like knowing the distances to the green even if you are far off the fairway. It agrees quite well with the markers on my home course. I acquired 11 GPS satellites within 5 minutes the first time I powered up the unit. And, it is refreshing not to have a $50 annual fee as in SkyCaddie or a $25 fee for Golflogix (your unit is useless unless you are current in your membership with those companies). I decided it was much more important to see the relative layout of the entire hole, especially for courses not previously played, so I chose the V300 versus other brands. I could not be more pleased. Move quickly to receive the one-time Eagle membership for free - deal expires June 30.

got mine just hours befor we went to CO. to play a corse. had it set up and downloaded the corse we were going to play, in less then and hour. after figuring things out . Then found out the corse had it`s own gps on the carts. but the sonocadie was within 2-4 yards . dident have much time to check things out . they had someone going around macking sure every one keeps moving. could see the screen clear and was geting 8-10 satlite signals the hole day. the battery barly got off full. the rubber casing stayed in shirt pocket. will recomend to every one i see.
Whew! I made the right choice. June 16, 2008

This was a tough purchase as I had narrowed my selection to three choices, and there is not a whole lot of reviews on the V300 available as of yet. Got it for Father's Day (Love Amazon's Wish List), and played my first round with it today.
Hole depictions were fairly accurate, and the ability to adjust/add lay up points, hazards etc. was easy and intuitive. Seemed very accurate. You do have to select what hole you want to play as it doesn't seem to automatically advance to the next one (easy to do, especially if you are using the built in score card).
Would love it if you could learn all of the features on a sample course while you are at home, as you can't do much until you are at the course.

I HAVE USED A "SKYCADDIE" FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS NOW. ALWAYS HAD SOME SORT OF GLITCH. LIKE NOW, WHEN YOU CALL IN FOR HELP, YOU HAVE ANYWHERE FROM 45 MINUTES TO 90 MINUTES WAIT TIME FOR CUSTOMER CARE. (IF YOU'RE LUCKY) THAT'S NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I SENT AN EMAIL OUT ON MONDAY, MAY12th, ASKING FOR SOME TECHNICAL HELP, 4 DAYS LATER, STILL NO HELP. I HAVE A SKYCADDIE SG4, WHICH IS NOW PRETTY BASIC. THE ONLY PROBLEM...I CAN'T DOWNLOAD ANY NEW COURSES, BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS STUCK.
NOW, I HAVE PURCHASED A SONOCADDIE V300. GAME OVER...NEW FULL COLOR COURSE LAYOUT. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU WISH IS THERE. I DON'T THINK ANY OTHER GPS SYSTEM OUT THERE STANDS A CHANCE...AT LEAST FOR NOW. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ANSWERED ON THE THIRD RING, AND ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. THANKS, RUDY THOMPSON
P.S. THEIR PHONE # IS 1-800-336-6264
