I returned the iGolf GPS because it kept turning itself off every few yards of play. Very annoying. Wal-Mart refunded my full purchase price, no problem. Besides it was not capable of automatically recognizing hole so there is button pushing every hole. Now I purchased this GolfBuddy GPS from an eBay vendor. There is no refund possible. But I have used it for 2 rounds of 18 holes and it worked pretty much as advertised. The manual has no instructions on how to download course data, but the customer service was very helpful in walking me through it. After loading my home course into the unit, I turned the unit on and it recognized my course. It knows what hole you are playing so there is no need to push any buttons while playing. On couple of holes it did not change hole number, but the procedure to change holes is quick. Just toggle right until correct hole is displayed and OK it by clicking the same button straight down. The unit did change 16 holes automatically. It was quite accurate on 17 holes so I called the customer service and they said they will fix the problem in 2 or 3 days and then I can download the new data. [...] The unit is very light, fits in my shirt pocket, and has rechargeable batteries built in, so no need to stock up on AA batteries. The batteries & charger come with it.
