Garmin Golflogix Gps 8 Golf Gps System Is A Rigid, Durable User-friendly Golf Gps System

Experience the advantage of GPS mapping on the golf course with the GolfLogix GPS hand held unit, which calculates and displays distances to the front, center and back of every green along with hazards. The most rigid, durable and user-friendly golf GPS on the market, this current version of the GolfLogix now recognizes what course you are playing automatically.

You get the distance to the front/center/back of green for each hole. The GolfLogix GPS-8 includes Garmin's high sensitivity, 12-channel GPS receiver which ensures faster satellite retrieval, time and superior exactness. Nicely compact in your hand, it weighs 5.3 ounces with batteries and measures 1.2 inches thin. The case is 100 percent waterproof (submersible in water per IPX7 standard tests) and is shock-proof and impact-resistant for rugged outdoor use. The large LCD screen (1.25 by 2.25 inches) has a 64 x 128 pixel resolution and features great visibility in direct sunlight with adjustable screen contrasts and backlight screen setting for dark playing conditions.

Wherever you are on the course, GolfLogix displays the key distances to hazards and the green in big bold numbers all on a sleek black palm-sized device. The screen advances automatically to all of the targets on the golf course so there are no buttons to push or lasers to point during your round. The GolfLogix GPS-8 can store the following data on each hole: front/center/back of green; hazards; bunkers; water; lay-ups; and carries.

Easily download course data using the GolfLogix software, and store up to 20 courses in the GPS-8 at one time.

What edge does GolfLogix GPS have over other golf gps gadgets?

A hand held GPS device, such as GolfLogix GPS, offers more flexibility during a typical round of golf. You can bring the GPS to your ball and get more detailed distance information. Unlike other laser devices, there is no need to point and aim or have a direct line of sight to the hazard or hole.
