Summary: Smallest unit out there -- works great !
Comment: I've had my Guru for about a month. I compared it to all of the Sky Caddie models as well as some of the other smaller vendors before purchasing.

First off, it works great. Follow the Quick Start directions and you'll be off and running in no time. I like that it automatically checks for the latest firmware release and downloads that to your Guru (if needed) everytime you hook it up to download new courses.

It is the smallest unit out there -- a little bigger than my Palm Centro but nice and thin/lite. I carry it in my back pocket and pull it out like a yardage book before every shot. It doesn't get smashed if I sit in the cart either :-)

I didn't buy the Sky Caddie for the following reasons:
1. Size -- it's a little bigger/fatter than the Guru
2. Annual Fees -- who wants to pay $50/year ??
3. Satellite Acquisition -- these things only work well if they're able to sync to enough Satellites to be accurate. I'd heard from a few friends that they no longer use their Sky Caddies because they would lose "sync" too many times to be useful/trusted. Guru syncs fast and connects to more Satellites.

The Guru has far fewer courses than the Sky Caddie but they've been able to map all of the courses I've requested (at least 5) in less than 7 days -- certainly acceptable to me.

One other suggestion if you have a Guru and a Garmin Nuvi (360 is what I have)-- the A/C charger works for both (if you're like me, it's hard to keep all of my cords/chargers tagged, etc). Save the $20 from Golf Guru and use your Garmin charger.

In a nutshell, if you want a fairly simple device that works great and fits in your pocket, The Guru is the one for you. When you're on the course, fancy color graphics aren't going to lower your score -- quick, accurate info at your fingertips will ...

Summary: Awesome unit
Comment: First, I have to say that the customer service for this company is amazing. I ordered the golf guru through amazon.com because I had a gift card. I wanted the carrying case but it wasn't offered on the amazon.com website. So I purchased the carrying case through their own website on the same day. Unfortunatly, I was going to have to pay shipping on both products since they were not purchased together. I received an email the next day telling me that they noticed I made 2 seperate purchases and they would ship them together and only charge me for shipping on the golf guru unit and not the carrying case. I knew right away this was going to be a great company to deal with.

Second, I loved the golf guru as soon as I got it. It is so easy to use and download the courses I wanted. The screen functions are easy to see and use. I love that you can map a course out if you want to. My friend has the Sky caddie and he gets no reception at several courses we play in Long Island...I am able to get reception on every couse every time.

Third, the statistics portion is awesome. As you play your round it will ask you at the end of each hole for your score, if you made GIR, FIR, and how many putts. At the end of the round you will get all your stats for the round, % of GIR, % of FIR, and avg. putts per hole. This is very handy if your into keeping stats.

Lastly, I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to know "how far away am I" which is just about everyone.

GREAT PRODUCT, VERY VERY HAPPY.

Summary: What a gem
Comment: I have been using my Guru for a while. Every aspect of the device is great. Never a glitch. The best part is their customer service. They answer the phone and resolve any problem with lightning speed. The software is continually upgraded and new features added without having to buy a new unit. And they are in Austin, Tx. not New Delhi. All downloads are free til the end of 2011. When I needed a course mapped, it took 3 days. This is the most for your money in the field.

Summary: Excellent device that works great!!
Comment: I got the Golf Guru last week, one week after ordering direct from Golf Guru( their shipping price was $3.00 less than Amazon and they give an option of AC or in car charger).

My favorite course wasn't on their list so I requested that it be added. It took 6 days to create it.

Played first round yesterday. Unit powered up immediately (note the first time it will take a while since it isn't anywhere near where it was the last time it was turned on). Unit worked great. I finally know how long my drives are and the distances to the green. I can even move the flag on the green to adjust for this round's location. Unit fit in my pocket with no problems and it really light.

I can also add or change items on the course, if necessary. They provide an excellent 77 page manual along with a quick reference guide, but the controls are very easy to understand and use.

Bottom line: I'm very happy with the unit.

Summary: great product - great service
Comment: I bought the gps golf guru about a month ago. At first I was disappointed as only one course out of the six that I regularly play was mapped. I sent in a request for them to map the other courses and within two weeks all of them were available. One of them had the front and back nines reversed, but that was due to the course having been renumbered some time ago. Again, within a week of my notifying them the correction was made. I THINK THAT IS GREAT SERVICE, and would recommend this item to everyone.
