i was considering buying a sky caddie gps, but i was wondering if you can use a regular gps to map a golf course on your own. i've never used a gps so i really don't know anything about them.

Why bother for $150.00 you can get the iGolf Neo.
The website in “source” below rates it above the Skycaddie although this is mainly because of price.
And you can start playing straight away without fussing about mapping. Besides how accurate will your 200 meters be when you are going over undulating ground?
With the iGolf you will have a exceptional GPS and over a hundred bucks change.
But the Skycaddie is also a great GPS.
And both will be able to analayze your game.
Keep that head down and follow through!!!

I've heard/read about Sky Caddie, Garmin, iGolf, etc. Please feel free to give me the pros and cons.

Things to consider include: 1) memory (# of courses the unit will hold at one time which affects how often you may want to reload it) 2) construction/durability/display screen size 3)battery type (built in rechargeable vs. regular alkaline or changeable rechargeable) 4)annual fee 5)company support to change or map courses.

I purchased and am highly satisfied with the GolfLogix (Garmin) unit. It holds 10 different courses although a 27 hole course may be broken up into 3 memory items which is true on all units. Courses are mapped very accurately including sand and water distances on most holes. It has a large display and is very durable. It uses regular batteries or rechargeable which are easily changed if you should run low even during a round. You can usually play 3 to 4 rounds on new or charged batteries. Annual fee is only $30 vs. $60 on others. The company is very responsive when requesting a course be changed due to layout or newly mapped if unavailable in their data base (2-4 days). Keep your head down & swing hard in case you hit it!

Golf Life Television reviews the Golf Logix GPS Distance finder, a piece of equipment so intelligent, the golfer need not push a single button during the whole round and will have the perfect distance from his ball to hazards and the front, middle and back of the green.Golf Instructions, Golf Lessons.
