Description:
The easiest and most advanced personal golf GPS available today. Palm-sized and feature laden, with a globally patent pending graphic display, Sonocaddie enables you to know the precise distance from you to any spot on the course - green, hazards, trees, up to 15 different targets per hole, plus the distance to the front, center and rear of any green with the touch of a button even without a clear line of sight. Watch the yardage tick down as you walk toward the green in real time. Determine the precise length of your drive with the touch of a button. This amazing technology is guaranteed to cut strokes from your game. Over 13,000 courses are on the Sonocaddie web site for your free access, and thousands more are being added each year. Simply plug the Sonocaddie USB cable into your computer, go to the Sonocaddie website, browse your favorite course by State and City, and hit download. If your course is not there, Sonocaddie will upload it on request, or you can very easily add your course by walking or driving, and at each target, hazard, and green permanently mark the spot with a touch of a button. From then on, the Sonocaddie always knows your yardage from that spot- even if you are at the 19th hole. You can also download any course from your Sonocaddie to others with the included connecting cable and the touch of a button. 3AAA batteries (included) or rechargeable will last up to 16 hours and are easily replaced.

I wrote a review on this product when it first hit the market over a year ago. Not sure where that review went but I've got an update. The product initially impressed me because of its ease of use, capability - it stores 20 courses, and the no-membership/download costs. When I first got my Sonocaddie I had to input my own data, available local courses were lacking. Well, in 11 months hundreds of courses all over the US have become available for download. When I'm on the course with my playing partners everyone checks with me for distance to the pin/green. The accuracy is great, wish my ball striking ability were only half as good! After almost 11 months of near flawless performance my Sonocaddie went to a dark screen with the application features barely visible. Initially I assumed a battery issue; but switching to fresh batteries didn't fix my problem. After describing my problem to DENNCO, the US Distributor, they instructed me to ship my Sonocaddie to them, insured, for there evaluation. I was elated when I received a new replacement unit in less than 12 days. It is clear DENNCO understands customer service and stands by their product's 1 year warranty. I highly recommended this item almost a year ago and now I recommend both the product and its US Supplier. RonO

The Sonocaddie was recommended because of its good battery life, which it has. It's easy enough to use and is very useful on the course. However, course availability is very poor. They do not have my home course mapped, and tell me it is not going to happen unless I map it myself. What's worse, many good Florida and Hawaii courses are not mapped. I have no use for it and plan to return it if it's not too late.

Companies llike Sonocaddie need to realize that the Mac platform is here to stay. I was forced to return this product because of their "we only cater to the PC" attitude.
