golfbuddy world platinum
By ricky soon from singapore on October 25, 2012

So far it has been quite easy although the screen is a bit small
Pros:
easy to set up Cons:
Not very accurate especially for courses that have undergone upgrading, keeps on asking for manual changes etc plus the touch screen is not sensitive enoughWorth it!!
By Patty from Edmonton,Alberta, Canada on July 22, 2012

Not a scratch golfer however really takes the guess work out of distance and judging hazards. Was also able to use my Golfbuddy in four provinces so far. Everytime I turned it on knew where I was and to proceed to the first hole. Very reliable, easy to navigate.Touch screen convenient. Fun for everyone golfing with me as well. Great buy!
Pros:
easy to use, input stats
touch screen easy
battery lasts at least 2 rounds
scorecard niceCons:
screen back light could be brighterI would recommend this item to a friend.
Terrific Unit With Plenty of Features
By Grant from Terranora, Australia on June 25, 2012

The Golf Buddy World Platinum is a terrific gps unit. It is simple to use, but is filled with features. The unit recognised my course (in Australia) as soon as I turned it on - no downloads necessary. It automatically updates as you play each hole without the need to advance the next hole manually.
Pros:
Easy to use and good value for money.Cons:
Does not synch easily with Mac OS . I would recommend this item to a friend.

I have to use a pin to hit correct buttons on the screen.

Great Gps
By Eric from Engadine, NSW on April 18, 2012

This was one of the easiest units to use I have ever seen. Right out of the box at a local course and it knew exactly where I was and what hole I was on. I enjoy using this unit very much.
Pros:
Easy to UseI would recommend this item to a friend.

By Don from West Milton, Ohio on April 11, 2012

I really like the new gps. Has worked great right from the very beginning. The only thing I wish it had a brighter image--I turned the brightness up but it is still alittle hard to see in the sunlight.
Pros:
Almost everything, It knows where you are playing and the course layout.Cons:
needs to have a brighter screen....I would recommend this item to a friend.
GolfBuddy World Platinum GPS
By Nick from Melbourne,Australia on April 5, 2012

A huge improvement compared to my old Sureshot.
Being able to pin-point flag positions or how far do i need to hit this shot,to leave my favorite distance is brilliant.
Looked at quite a few different GPS models out there and settled for this.I'm sure I made the right choice.
No extra charges for uploads,40,000 course capability.Simply brilliant!!!
Pros:
EverythingI would recommend this item to a friend.
Top Shelf !
By Daniel from Waterdown, Ontario on April 3, 2012

Opened the box and followed the quick start guide, charged, then updated the firmware and some courses, all without a hiccup. Took it to the course and it automatically recognized the course, gave very accurate information, changed holes on it's own and was an absolute treat to use. It provides all the useful information with respect to carry distances of hazards and bunkers etc. It not only helped me, it helped my playing partner as well. It's nice to take the guess work out of shot distances.
Had it attached to the handle of my push cart and never had to wait for readings, just stop the cart, look and that's it. Battery life seems to be fine so far.
Rockbottomgolf service, price and quick delivery only adds to the positive experience.
Pros:
Accuracy, simple to use, great data, easy to update firmware and courses, on-board rechargeable battery, no fees.Cons:
NoneI would recommend this item to a friend.
Totally Fantastic
By Alexander from Sydney, NS, Canada on March 23, 2012

Great for distances from 120 yds in, more accurate than estimates and pacing off yardage. The score module really helps to pinpoint tendecies (pulls and push T shots) and putting trends.
Pros:
Everything, especially the distances to trouble and over trouble.Cons:
Works best with a golf T and not very good with your finger.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great Product
By Robert from Canberra Australia on March 22, 2012

Right out of the box the GolfBuddy World Platinum GPS worked a treat. I am in Australia and was particularly impressed that all my local courses are available without me having to download them individually. The battery life is great and I get approx 3 rounds per charge.
This product has improved my game by providing distance information that previously I had to estimate.
Would definately recommend it to others.
