Amazon.com Product Description
Distance to the front, center, and back and shot distance are delivered to the palm of your hand with the Yardage Pro XG Golf GPS device. Designed to make your game smarter for fewer strokes, the compact Yardage Pro unit stores up to 10 courses with hole-by-hole detail, and its large 2.1-inch display with a backlight makes reading and accessing distances effortless. Finally, the Yardage Pro is waterproof so you can use it in any weather conditions without worrying. The Yardage Pro GPS is accurate within two yards, offering the best accuracy available for the game--and the same degree of accuracy as any other golf GPS devices on the market. Unlike a laser rangefinder, the Yardage Pro GPS allows you to determine the distance to objects that are not in your line of sight, providing you with distances to the green that are difficult to get with laser rangefinders. With rangefinders you can overshoot the green and struggle to hold the rangefinder steady. The Yardage Pro GPS gives you immediate feedback so you won't have to worry about holding up play and your concentration can remain on the game. The Bushnell Yardage Pro allows you to store up to 10 golf courses at a time on one device. A membership to iGolf.com gives you access to the world's largest golf course database, allowing you to download up to 100 courses yearly, that all can be synced to your Yardage Pro through a simple USB connection. The Bushnell Yardage Pro offers you the birds eye view of the course so your play can be more deliberate, accurate, and successful. Using Bushnell Yardage Pro Sync and the iGolf Database: Bushnell and iGolf have partnered to provide Bushnell Yardage Pro users with the world's largest, most accurate database of GPS course files available. A free membership on iGolf.com enables you to track your handicap, catch up on golf headlines, and find reviews of your favorite course. A paid membership with a low one-year subscription fee allows you to download and save up to 100 GPS course files annually. A one-year membership contract with iGolf allows you to download and save any available golf courses onto your computer to use with the Yardage Pro. Since all golf course files are stored on your computer you can easily swap course files on and off the Yardage Pro as needed. The currency of the information on the iGolf website is updated regularly with any renovations or changed holes so you have access to the most up to date information possible. Locate golf courses on the iGolf database using a simple search tool--just enter one or two keywords within the course name to produce a list of results. An advanced search option is available to narrow results further as necessary. After you have located your golf course in the iGolf database, you will see the GPS Enabled area of the screen. The program will let you know if Front/Center/Back measurements, Custom Points with measurements for the hazards on the course, and Course Images for each individual green are available. Transferring downloaded golf courses to your Yardage Pro from your PC is easy. Simply open the Bushnell Sync Application, connect the Yardage Pro to the USB port on the computer, and power up the unit. Select the golf course that you want to transfer off of the computer, click send, and you are done.

Great product!
Just what I was looking for. Not a lot of bells and whistles, basically yardages to points on the greens. Don't need my reading glasses to see numbers like I do on my partners much more expensive and fancy Callaway unit. And side by side they both read within one yard of each other. Set up with igolf took some doing, but once all the info was supplied, down loads were a snap.Bushnell Neo Golf GPS
Great Value
The Neo is simple, cheap, and effective. You get all the courses you want for 1 year but you have to pay 35$ initially to subscribe. (so just download all the courses you want in 1 year....no big deal.) You can only have 10 courses on the Neo at 1 time but when would you ever need more? It takes a total of 3 minutes to change the course lineup on your gps when you connect it to your pc. You only get yardage to front middle back of greens but it is accurate. You can also add unique points (4 per hole) if you want to know the carry to hit it over a hazard or bunker. Obviously this is not as convenient as a skycaddie or something like that, but it is at least 150$ cheaper. Personally, I just want to know what iron to hit into each hole. This fits in my pocket, so I take it out, pick a club, and hit. I probably just would not use a skycaddie enough to justify spending 300$. Anyway I like the Neo and it speeds up my play. I would definitely recommend the Neo for anyone who wants simple yardages to the green for a great price.
Neo
Product met all expectations. It is wonderful for the price! I would recommend this to anyone interested in finding out what a difference it can make.
Worth The Money
Great value for the money. Had some difficulty loading the software and had to call Bushnell product support to get it done. It had to do with uninstalling Java 64 bit software. After that, it was easy.
great father's day gift
My husband loves his Father's Day gift and so does his golf partners. The only drawback was that we found that they no longer include a CD to download the program. It was more difficult to install than formatting my hard drive. Customer support was average but overall it was a great purchase and a very accurate Golf GPS!Bushnell Neo Golf GPS
