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.

5 out of 5 stars Worth The Money   July 23, 2010
Ricky M (Michigan, USA)
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.


4 out of 5 stars great father's day gift   July 22, 2010
Gerry
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


5 out of 5 stars Great item and an even greater price!!!   July 21, 2010
TMac
Excellent GPS for the price. I put it up next to a sky caddy GPS and it was within one or two yards and at times exact yardage. I highly recommend.

Product works as advertise. Received my GPS unit only a couple of days after I ordered it from Amazon (fast service).It does what it's suppose without all the bells and whistles.Simple and accurate and you can play 4 or 5 rounds before you have to charge it. It cost is at least 50% under the other GPS units and you only have to pay one annual fee to download up to 100 courses.



1 out of 5 stars Software failed to load and Bushnell Tech Support would not answer   July 8, 2010
Dan McCoig (Winchester, VA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

A friend of mine had a Neo. We used it for two rounds a couple of weekends ago. I liked the unit and the price so I decided to purchase one.

After multiple attempts on three different PCs -- one with XP, one with Vista, and one with Windows 7 -- the software failed to load. I consulted the troubleshooting guide in the manual. Evidently, the most common problem with software loading failures is an outdated Java. After checking all of my machines and determining that the Java was current, I attempted once again to load the software from the provided disk. Still, no success.

I called Bushnell's tech support number. After 30 minutes, still on hold. I called again. Another 30 minute wait without reaching someone.

I returned the item, which disappointed me. I liked the product and would have found it useful on the golf course. But, it failed to live up to its billing. Bushnell and iGolf should insure that their product and service function more readily out of the box.

The only good news in this encounter is Amazon and its customer friendly returns policy. They made returning the item simple and easy.
