Well my new unit came in...very quick response. I no longer have a brick in a box. I took it out this morning and was very pleased with how the unit performed. Locked on quick, accurate distances, easy to use scoring, no lockups.. The touch screen definitely does not have the savvy of an iphone or ipad but once pro mode is ready to go I believe this will be a winner. I am glad I decided to give it one more chance. Good bye skycaddie annual dues!!!!!!

I have used a Sky Caddie for a couple of years until I went with a range finder earlier this season. While I had no issues with the SC I find the RF a better fit for my game (and practice) and a lot less work. Pretty sure I won't go back and this thread supports the simplicity of a RF over any GPS type unit.

Different strokes...I could never see myself dealing with a RF.

Went to buy some balls at Golfsmith last night and while I was waiting to check out, 2 customers where standing in line returning the Callaway MX. Over heard both saying they were upset with it freezing up and no web site to help out. Still a Lemon?

2nd time out with the new MX. Once again worked nicely, touch interface is in need of some firmware tweaks to make it smoother. Waiting on pro mode to make the final call on if its a keeper. No issues with lockups. Battery indicator shows about 50% on the unit after my round but when I plug it in to charge it says its 78% charged. Not sure why theres a difference and wondering which meter is correct.

Got mine yesterday and it works perfectly. Just waiting for the new website to come on line so I can get the free 5 Pro Mode courses and possibly a software upgrade. From day one Upro has had outstanding customer support....and it remains good even after Callaway bought them out. If you call them on the phone it takes them just a few rings to answer the phone (and they speak English.....what's up with that?)

Ive played 72 holes with my upro. I havnt had any problems till today. It was around 97 today and Im crazy so I decided to walk 18. I dont know if the unit got overheated in my pocket or something else but after 13 holes I tried to put in my score but the touch screen was not responding I could turn the unit sideways and it would show the scorecard and then turn it upright and it would change to distances. all the buttons worked but touching screen didnt do anything. I didnt want to turn it off and lose anything so I keep putting it in sleep mode then waking it up. After a few minutes it started allowing me to touch it again and that was the last of that. After that I keep it in my bag so it wouldnt get too hot. Im not sure if this is the first sign of a bigger problem or not what do yall think?

Problems I have experienced with my uPro MX: Horizontal banding (not just at startup), vertical banding, touch screen goes dead, power button goes dead.

Now it no longer picks up a satellite signal. It's officially become a brick in a box.
