 courses missing July 21, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I cannot comment on the actual GPS, but I did discover that IGOLF did not have the GPS data for many of the smaller courses I play. My advice is to review the listing of courses in your area at the IGOLF website before making this purchase.

Love my "iGolf" now!!
First the bad news. They are very secretive with the fact that the set-up for this is not, and I repeat not able to work with Macintosh computers! So you must go out and find "PC computer people" to download golf courses and get started.
Once everything is started, this is a wonderful little GPS for golf. I love its size, ease of overall use, and long battery time.
I highly recommend this to everyone, but MAC users beware.

I purchased the "Neo" last week and right out of the box I charged it and went straight to my golf course and mapped the first nine holes. Later that afternoon I played the nine holes with a foursome and boy did I have the advantage. I didn't let them know I had the "neo" and I hit every green in regulation. I have a 20 handicap, because my putting is the weakest part of my game. (maybe they will have a gps for my putting game!
Well back to the game...I hit fade off the tee which put me in bounds in the opposite fair way, my neo said a 118 yds to the center of the green, that I could not see low bushes. I knew the exact club to pull and bam I hit it just right, these guys were amazed at my pin point accracy. The "Neo after 2 hrs and 15 min. still showed a full charge. I was pulling clubs with confidence and hitting away. I knew what I needed to carry water and when to lag up! WOW... Sky Caddie will now have to drop their price or go out of business, or try to buy out itechnology which I don't think so. I was waiting for a price drop on sky caddie but then I found "neo" and waited no more! The Neo fits comfortably in my cargo pant pocket on in my shorts. They're right the clip that it comes with is very loose and it will pop out. I will not be using it!!!
I have not down loaded the courses yet, so I will update when I get that up and running.
I'm very happy so far with my purchase and I love the igolf website for posting my score and getting real time handicap rating.
Pros: Light weight, accurate, great battery life, easy to operate, small, but very readable,
Cons: None so far! ***Will update after I sync my first course and play it! I mapped my own course and it gave me the advantage. I think the "Neo" was made just for me!!!!

I just completed my first round with my new igolf neo and I can't begin to explain how satisfied I am with my purchase. for those who are not looking for all the bells and whistles of the new skycaddie, this is the golf gps for you.
I typically shoot in the mid-high 70's. I was planning on investing in a new driver but decided to get one of these instead. I think this useful gadget will do much more to help me get over the hump to drop my handicap to the low single digits
PROS
-small enough to keep in your pocket.
-long battery life
-I love the shot distance feature
-one time $35 fee to download 100 courses (no monthly charges).
-accurate!
-much better build quality than i expected
-plot custom points on the fly
-pre mapped hazards already built into most most courses
-easy to set up and download...even with vista!
CONS:
-the belt clip is garbage
-the unit can be slippery (try not to drop it...use two hands)
-can take up to 10-15 minutes to obtain gps signal (turn it on as soon as you get to the course)
I managed to save 3-4 strokes today hitting blind shots relying only on the yardage readings on my neo and the pin placements on my scorecard. Plus now that I dont have to pace out my yardage from the sprinkler heads, play seems to go much smoother and I have one less thing to distract me from making a smooth, solid stroke as I approach my ball.
get one...

Add me to the list or 5 STAR reviewers. This little dude is great. I did not buy a course - simply mapped the one I play regularly. Mapped the course and many additional points in a little over an hour. It's so simple. The distances are accurate and almost immediate - no waiting. The distance feature is fun and allows you to calibrate your club distance. I have played 3 rounds so far and will play the fourth tomorrow. Battery shows 45% remaining. I'll charge it after my 4th round. It has every feature that I need and I can see no need for a more expensive model. I carry it in a cell phone holster on my belt - simply get it out, one glance, and fire away. LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
