• Low membership fee, only $10 annually
• Very easy to use and to set up
• Font size is large so it’s easy to see
• Accuracy
• Excellent Value
• Automatically recognizes the course you are on
• Very handy and easy to carry
• Friendly customer service

• Doesn’t have an auto off feature – remember to turn of the unit at the end of the day or the battery runs out
• Lacks some bells and whistles that more expensive models offer
• It takes time for the device to start up – It takes about 90 seconds for it to start up, so it  is suggested that as soon as you arrive at the course, turn on your unit so it will be ready by the time you reach the 1^st tee
• No wall charger – the package comes with a usb-charger where you can charge the device while using your computer, however it does not come with a wall charger. One is available for purchase if you desire.
