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.

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.

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.

- Not imressed
- I like the product a lot...when it works. My first unit worked for five or six rounds and then locked up. Customer Service was very nice, immediately sent me a replacement overnight. It worked for five or six rounds and then locked up exactly like the first unit (but on a different course). I'm sending it back for a refund. More reviews
- Not happy
- Before you get blown away by all the positive reviews, be aware that the actual display for this unit bears no resemblance to the wonderful black and white example they show on their ads. What I got was a dim green background with black lettering, all of which was hard to see in the sun, regardless of the "contrast" setting. Also,… More reviews
- It work on my course in Mexico!!!!
- Great product and a great company, first i went to their site and look for courses in Mexico, I didn't find mine, so I asked them when they were planning to have my course, two days after that i received an email asking me for the golf club address and two days later they confirmed they had mapped the course.

- GolfLogix GPS
- Excellent product for the "average" golfer who needs to know the distance to hazzards and the green. Speeds up play (at least for me) by not having to search for distance markers and/or pacing off distance from the marker to my ball. GolfLogix gives me the distance that I need to know. Really speeds up play on courses with few or no distance markers… More reviews
- Just as advertised
- 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… More reviews
