Tired of feeling adrift on the course? Turn to the iGolf neo pocket-size GPS, a handy golf-course aid that automatically displays the distances to key points on any golf course in the world. The iGolf neo features such construction details as a 80 x 120 high-contrast LCD screen, a lightweight, compact housing, and a built-in SiRF Star III GPS receiver. Once you step on the course, however, form takes a backseat to function, as the neo displays the distance to the front, center, and back of the green, while also letting users add up to four custom points per hole. As a result, you can estimate whether you'll carry the water hazard with your 3-wood or whether you should lay up, and you'll have a better idea of when the sand traps come into play. Estimating your club strength is even easier when using the shot distance feature, which shows you how far you hit each club on average. The iGolf neo holds up to 10 course files at once, and you can easily download other courses from iGolf.com when traveling beyond your home turf. It's also easy to map any course or add custom points yourself, should the downloaded info come up short. Best of all, you don't need to aim the neo or see the hole to receive accurate results. Simply choose the corresponding setting and you'll have all the info you need to pick the right club, swing with confidence, and enjoy the game more. The iGolf neo is ready to use out of the box without requiring any additional software or hardware for custom mapping. However, you'll need a computer and Internet access if you'd like to download pre-mapped golf courses from iGolf.com (subscription required). The iGolf neo--which comes with a USB cable, software CD, and a belt clip--runs for up to 16 hours on its rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The unit itself measures 3.25 by 1.75 by 0.75 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 2.5 ounces.

Customer Reviews for iGolf neo Pocketsize Golf GPS

Product ok, technical support very bad - does not run on windows 7

Product does not work with windows 7. Be careful if your p/c is on 7. I exchanged e-mails with their technical support guy - he sent me a download to try and get it working but it did not work. Asked him what to try next and he did not have a clue. So, I had to us a friends p/c that is not on windows 7 to get it to work.

Loved it!

This was a Christmas gift for my father, he is more than happy with it, in fact since he got it he was in our local paper after winning a local competition - can't do better than that. My dad is in his 60's & has found it very user friendly & easy to use.

warranty issues

I bought one of these 3/09 and signed up for iGolf downloads at the same time.. Rubber push button for "ok/shot" fell out this jan 1/10.. wanted to send it back for repair or replacement and was told 12 month warranty starts from the date of manufacture not the date you bought it...what kind of nonsense is that, how do you know when the unit was manufactured?? anyway it is now going in the trash bin.. What a waste..... steve b

Disappointed

I bought the iGolf in april 2009 and was delighted. I had trouble with turning it on. After joining igolf I had more problems with downloading the coarses I wanted. After using it for a few months it started to shut down in the middle of my golf game. Then I would turn it on again and it was ok. After 8 months of use and constant on and off it shut down and would not come back on. I e-mail the igolf company as I had registered this and thought it had a one year warranty as described in the user manual.The responce was they could fix it for $81. I was not happy at all and would not recommend this proudcut.

Enough information!!

Product is small yet provides all the information that I require for my golf game. The price is attractive when compared with the more bells and whistles products on the market
