I am not sure if that is operator error or something else.The worst news is I used it 5 times in a little over a month and it was stolen from my cart during a bathroom break. My cousin bought another GPS system and requested the same course and it was available for download in less than a week.The scoring system is a bit strange.
I have requested online and via email for a course to be added for over a month. I tried to map it myself but you have to stand for 10 seconds on the front, middle and back of the green plus anything else you want mapped.
If its not in the system good luck. If its not listed you might never get it added.
Its impossible during an actual game. I highly recommend to check the list first.
I have yet to find it accurate in my GIR's and Fairways hit for some reason. Do not leave it out around a clubhouse.
While I was able to figure out a way to map a course it is slightly more time consuming than the manual would have you believe. Sureshot GPS Golf SystemSet up and registration of thr product was easy, from there on there are some problems. The mapping function does not work as explained in the manual. It was very difficult to get a response from tech serviceand thier follow-up has been spotty at best.In summary, the gps seems to work well enough and the accuracy appears good. Service has a long way to go and will eventually damage the product.Chuck Mueller
We sent it back because it isn't compatible with the MAC system. I wish it had been more obvious from the description before we purchased it. We also weren't satisfied that the courses we normally play weren't even on it.
I originally bought the Sureshot over the equivalent Skycaddie model because the yearly fee's were much more reasonable. The unit is very accurate, and courses are easily user mapped if they haven't been professionally mapped by Sureshot. My unit has lasted more than two years and the battery shows no signs of performance loss. I usually go two or three rounds without a recharge. This is the only golf gadget I've purchased that hasn't been a waste of money. I still use my Sureshot for every round I play.
I bought this unit because I am a Mac user and when shopping for a GPS this was the only one that touted itself as "Mac compatable." After trying to download the proper software I discovered it wouldn't work because I don't have a Intel-based Mac that will run Parallels Desktop. I live in Oregon and SureShot lists a total of 78 courses in Oregon available for download. ".Parallels Desktop allows a user to run a Virtual machine (Guest OS) inside a windowed environment but is only supported under Windows XP." This is COMPATABLE. Let's talk about available courses. SkyCaddie lists about 175 Oregon courses and GolfLogix has well over 200. If I could do it all over again, I would buy one of these units which are roughly the same price.
