Sonocaddie XV2 Personal Golf GPS

Are you serious about improving your game and having more fun on the course? Turn to the Sonocaddie XV2, a personal golf GPS navigator that accurately reads the distance between any two points on a course. Not only does this help you hit better approach shots while avoiding sand traps and water hazards, but it also lets you spend more time concentrating on your swing and less time worrying about the accuracy of your guesses. It's the perfect accessory for the ultimate game of inches.

The palm-sized device fits easily in a shirt pocket or golf bag.

The Sonocaddie XV2 employs an advanced, high-tech GPS satellite system to measure the yardage between your lie and various hazards, so you always know what you're up against. As an alternative, you can determine the distance from your lie to the green, even without a clear line of sight. And golf fanatics will love the driving distance function, which tells you how far you cranked the ball off the tee. Not only is this fun for bragging rights, but it's also a valuable stat that reveals whether different course terrain and weather conditions are affecting your play.

The XV2 calculates the distance from your lie to the green.

The Sonocaddie XV2 is intuitive and user-friendly, with a straightforward interface that allows you to generate new course coordinates or edit existing coordinates in a matter of seconds. It's also easy to access information about other courses by visiting Sonocaddie's website, which offers the capacity to upload or download course data for free. Once you're on the course, the Sonocaddie's digital scorecard takes over, automatically calculating your total score with the simple touch of a button. The Sonocaddie even lets you share information about your favorite courses with other players via the included data cable. It may even help you win a few friends before you step onto the first tee.

The benefits of the Sonocaddie XV2 are legion: It eliminates the hassle and cost of hiring a caddie; it provides accurate, unimpeachable info; it saves time on the course by calculating the distance for you, so you don't have to locate yardage markers; and its small enough to fit easily in your pocket or golf bag. The XV2, which runs for up to 10 hours on three AAA batteries, measures 2.2 by 4.05 by 1.08 inches (W x H x D).

Customer Review: I returned the Sonocaddie after one day
Prior to replacing my old model SkyCaddie, I did a great deal of research on newer GPS units. On paper, the Sonocaddie XV2 came out on top, based on the type of information I was looking for from a golf GPS and the price. After receiving it, I spent an entire day attempting to download courses, without any success. On five occasions, I attempted to contact technical support, and received no responses -- online or via phone. I am not a computer novice, having been CEO of a software company for nearly 20 years, but I found this totally confounding and unacceptable. I returned the Sonocaddie after several more hours of trying to make it work and have since replaced it with the second choice from my research --a GolfLogix GPS. I'm very happy with the latter.
Customer Review: Probably OK product
Bought this as a Father's Day gift after doing online research. The good news is that my husband said I did pick the best product that he could tell, but I did pick the wrong model. This model was fairly hard to read the screen, so he is returning it and has already purchased the next model up... has a color screen which makes it easier to read.
