I read the instructions first and they were so well written that using the range finder my first time was simple.

I took this range finder on my local course and found that it was off 12-15 yards on most holes. I compared it to the yard markers on the sprinkler heads which were the most accurate markings on the course according to the pro shop. On most holes it was showing 12-15 yards longer but on a couple holes it was 8-10 yards short. This of course makes a big difference in club selection. The next day I drove the course with my neighbor who had a different brand GPS range finder. I compared my Golf Buddy Pro to his and found that his was close to the course markers but mine were off as I have described.
The Golf Buddy Pro did do a nice job of automatically finding the couple courses that I played and moved from hole to hole great. I still like the size of it and the graphic read outs. The idea of no monthly or yearly fees was attractive but it has to be accurate to be useable.

Works very well so far but not perfect. I have found that every so often it drops the fairway. You need to go back and change the hole to the one your on (three times a round). Another thing is to be sure and update your GPS at the website (Its free,lots of updates). Overall It has really helped my game and I am happy with the unit. I would recommend it compared to having a monthly or annual membership. It really is a very good deal for the price. It does everything that Gof Buddy advertises. Just turn it on when you get to the course and it will find you..Very very user friendly.
 they sell their refurbished units as new - be careful December 6, 2009

I received this as a gift from my wife after my sky caddie was stolen. It works about the same as the sky caddie. They are both close to accurate. They both have their moments. When I opened the box and charged it, the unit showed it was registered to another. I called the old owner as his phone number was in the unit. The old owner told me that he returned it go golfbuddy almost 11 months ago, as he found it to be inaccurate too much of the time.
The GolfBuddy representative offered to replace the unit, but it would be very inconvenient to do so, as I am on vacation and would be without any unit for 30 days.
I suggest that you open the unit at the store, as I have heard this has happened before.
