• Manual has many grammatical errors and some users had difficulty understanding it.
• Buttons are stiff – most users reported that after getting used to using the device, it is not much of a problem.
• Some yardages are off by 1-5. This is a common observation in golf GPS devices.
• There is no auto advance to the next hole, however it is only a one button touch to advance.

The Sonocaddie V300 certainly has a nice feature set and appears to be a solid performer. Sonocaddie may not have the same name recognition as SkyCaddie or Garmin yet, but with products like this, you’ll probably be seeing the name more and more.
