update firmware/courses and see
30 Dec 2010
I am perfectly happy with this device. I got nearly everything I want in a golf gps. I was initially unhappy with it when I first got it because the preinstalled maps were bare bones and not the ones shown in the picture--until I found out all I had to do was install the manager program on my computer, connect the golf gps to the computer, update the courses and firmware. And 'Oh Yeah'. Of course Golf Buddy lists all the courses they mapped on their web site for everyone to see. Hard to complain. I used it for a few rounds this year and measured my club distances accurately for the first time. Except for the battery, the device can be continuously improved for free by just connecting it to the computer and updating it, and this might be one of the golf buddy world platinum gps's most distinguishing features.

Golf Buddy World Platinum Range finder
23 Jun 2010
I used this product for 5 straight days. The battery life is limited. I was able to play 24 holes out of the 36 on the same day before the unit turned off (I gave it a full charge every night). Of the seven courses played in Michigan only 3 had the full hole view. All other courses were a picture of the green with yardages. I was disappointed that most courses I played only showed the hole view with limited course targets. Many holes had no targets listed as I stood there looking at sand traps and water. You can add targets, but when I play a course on vacation I wold not add targets. When the hole view worked, it was fun and helpful.

Easily the last GPS I will ever need to buy...
1 Jan 2011
The Golf Buddy World Platinum GPS Range Finder is just about everything I have always wanted in a handheld Golf GPS device. Owned mine since the middle of December 2010 and so far have nothng but great results with it. I won't go on and on about all the advertised features as GolfBuddy does that pretty nicely. It's what you get after you buy one that impresses me. If you find a mistake with a golf course in the database, or if you have found a course that is not listed, a simple email to their custome support address will get the correction or addition made, and usually in just a few days. I have had this done twice since purchasing my GPS and both times, I was very satisfied with GolfBuddy's response time and courteous staff. This is important in that should your favorite golf course undergo a renovation, GolfBuddy will update their database once those course changes have been made, provided they are given the new details of the changes made, usually by a GolfBuddy GPS device owner. So you can see, this is one GPS that will continue to get better as time goes on. A quick note on the not so stellar reviews made earlier in 2010, many of those issues sound to me as though the users had not updated their database from the initial factory default. The GPS was placed on the market in the late spring / early summer of 2010 and the first couple of months saw many updates to the inital list of courses. Bottom line, this is the GPS I have waited a long time to buy and am very happy I waited for the technology to deliver it.
