Garmin Compatible GPSMap 60CS & 60C Neoprene GPS Carrying CaseNice case, bad plastic cover
I was more than a little disappointed with this product. The case fit nicely over my GPS60CSx, but the plastic had a lot of glare to it, which made the LCD even harder to see in low light. The plastic also had some imperfections, which made it even harder to see. The neoprene case and carabener (sp?) were nice, but the plastic just ruined the usefulness.
I just ordered the Invisable Shield for the 60CSx, and will probably cut the plastic out the case, and use the Invisible Shield protective cover. It’s not worth the hassle to return. Almost a good product, but it’s no good if you can’t see the display!

Garmin GPSMap 76 Handheld GPS NavigatorGarmin GPSMap 76
The GPSMap76 is a great unit! More functions than I’ll ever be able to figure out how to use. Contrary to the what the writeup says, the unit does fit into my shirtpocket. So far, only two shortcomings. 1) Not rechargeable (2-AA batteries) and 2) the manual seems sparse on details of “how to”. All-in-all 4 stars. A REALLY GOOD UNIT!!

Garmin Forerunner 201 Wrist Mounted GPS Fitness ComputerVery pleased
Before purchasing the Forerunner 201, I read LOTS of reviews of both the 201 and the 205 on several different sites. Several reviewers of the 205 had previously used the 201, and raved about the 205’s improved GPS signal (though one did comment that on the rare occasions when it dropped its signal, it had more difficulties regaining it than the 201 did). The more compact design of the 205 also had some appeal, though reviewers said they were surprised at the comfort of the 201.

GolfLogix GPS by Garmin (2008 Model)GolfLogic 2008 Review
I had one of the early models made by SkyCaddie, and this device is far superior. It’s easier to use, holds 20 downloaded courses (as opposed to 10), finds the course you are at (as opposed to scrolling through a list), is waterproof (as opposed to water resistant), cost far less to get a one year membership to downloadable courses, and turns on in seconds with distances (as opposed to minutes). The 2008 model measures the distance from your last shot so you can tell how far you are hitting each club.

iGolf Gps Caddie IIGood but has weaknesses
In general, there are things to like about the unit. It does what it advertises. I easily found my courses and got them on the unit quickly. The readout is easy to read, it does wander at times but will stabilize after a couple of seconds. The unit is light and I bought an IGolf case that makes it easier to carry around. I have not tried to add any distinct course features nor have I experienced any that were un-mapped.
