Description of GolfLogix Garmin GPS
Enjoy the advantage of GPS mapping on the golf course with the GolfLogix GPS-8 handheld unit, which calculates and displays distances to the front, center and back of every green along with hazards. The most precise, durable and user-friendly golf GPS on the market, this new version of the GolfLogix now recognizes what course you are playing automatically.
 You get the distance to the front/center/back of green for each hole. |
Wherever you are on the course, GolfLogix displays the key distances to hazards and the green in big bold numbers all on a sleek black palm-sized device. The screen advances automatically to all of the targets on the golf course so there are no buttons to push or lasers to point during your round. The GolfLogix GPS-8 can store the following data on each hole: front/center/back of green; hazards; bunkers; water; lay-ups; and carries.
 Easily download course data using the GolfLogix software, and store up to 20 courses in the GPS-8 at one time. |
Other features include:
- Distance of last shot feature
- Large number displays that are easy to read for all ages and eye-visions
- Personalized name on main screens for security and anti-theft
- Displays in yards or meters
- Includes multi-use belt or bag clip
- GolfLogix Course Manager software with USB drivers
- 1-year warranty
What are the advantages of GolfLogix GPS versus other yardage devices?
A handheld GPS device, such as GolfLogix GPS, offers more flexibility during a typical round of golf. You can bring the GPS to the ball and get more accurate distance data. Unlike other laser devices, there is no need to point and aim or have a direct line of sight to the hazard or hole.
How do I get golf course maps on my GolfLogix GPS?
Included with your initial purchase is access to download a single golf course map of your choice. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions in the Quick Start Guide located in the box to download the Course Manager Software from the GolfLogix Web site. Then follow the registration and activation screens on your computer to obtain your free golf course map. With a $29.95 annual membership, you can download an unlimited amount of golf courses worldwide (currently more than 15,000 in the database) and have access to GolfLogix product enhancements and upgrades.
Is using a GPS distance device allowed under USGA regulations?
The USGA and R&A both recently sanctioned the use of satellite-based yardage measuring devices during competition. Specifically, decision 14-3/0.5 allows a committee to permit the use of distance measuring devices by Local Rule. Golfers should check with their golf professional prior to use in a USGA sanctioned event. GPS devices have always been permitted in handicap scoring in recreational rounds.
What's in the Box?
GolfLogix GPS, USB cable, belt/bag clip, 2 AA alkaline batteries, printed instructions
Sports reviews of GolfLogix Garmin GPS
Customer Review: Just as advertised
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Simple, easy to set up, and great fun on the course. I have now used my new Golflogix four times and have had no problems. It is great (but humbling) to find out exactly how far each shot travels, and I can honestly say it has saved me two shots per round.
A playing partner was arguing about the distance to the pin, agreed to go with the Golflogix distance, and then thanked me for saving him at least a shot on the hole.
I bought the rechargeable batteries and have switched them out one time, just because I didn't want to do it on the course. Visibility of the screen is good even in bright light. Very satisfied with the product.
Customer Review: GolfLogix GPS by Garmin
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love my new GolfLogix GPS by Garmin. It performs just as advertised. I can find the correct distance to the front, middle and back of the green and know what is required for layup shots to avoid local hazzards. Several of my friend have purchased their own GolfLogix GPS units after seeing how mine performs. I like the fact that the info is always on the screen and I don't have to push buttons or use menus to find what I want, it is simple there to see! The display is large enough and can be contrasted so that I have no problem reading the information without my glasses. This is a great product and a real boon to the game of golf!Customer Review: I love my GolfLogix
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I play in lots of golf tournaments and have enjoyed the GPS units in our groups. I really wanted one of my own. I reviewed several, knew a few people who had a GolfLogix and decided on that. I really love using it. The only problem I had was when trying to download the program so I could download the golf courses, the attachment at the top was difficult to get in for a good connection. When we (I had to ask for some help from a friend) were about to give up, he reconnected it and it started downloading. Other than that, I have really enjoyed it. And it could not be easier finding the courses you want and downloading them.Customer Review: Garmin Golf Logix is a WONDERFUL thing!

I researched different golf GPS units before deciding on the Garmin. (I had actually gone to the store to purchase the 2.5 Sky Caddie, but after looking at it, I realized I couldn't read the information on the screen without wearing my reading glasses!)
I am very satisfied with the Garmin Golf Logix. It was easy to download the software; and easy to save and load golf courses. The display is very easy to read at 6 feet away. Its lightweight and waterproof.
I am normally a 10-12 handicap, 2 weeks ago I had my first sub-par round, and my first eagle the following weekend. What more can I say?!
Customer Review: GPS-8 works like a charm !
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'm very pleased with my GPS-8. It's very easy to use, no buttons or options to scroll through. You do have the option of scrolling back to previous view or forward to next if you want to but under normal conditions just walk/ride and it changes the distance and views as you move. It also shows distances to hazards such as bunkers or carry over water etc. I haven't tried the shot distance feature yet but will the next time out. Downloading the desktop management software was easy and they have all courses in my area and holds 20 courses at a time so you don't have to reload often unless you are visiting a new area.
