iGolf NEO

[pizzano]

Purchased this simple GPS at Sports Chalet in Vegas, only $40 , well worth it , download any course in the world, (holds 10 courses at once) , doenst have all the fancy color and hole layouts , but has what is needed , front, center,back yardages, and can also customize the hazards for each course.

 

 

Works great

solid unit. did that include the membership? great deal if so... if not, the neo+ is prob the way to go for not much more, a bit more functionality (auto advance) and all courses pre-loaded

Love my neo as well. Cheap and works. I think the membership was 30 bucks and that gives you 100 course downloads.

Exactly what it was, sure beats the $400 + Lasers, buddy purchased one and all I see him do every hole is get out of cart and try to keep his hand steady,lol

I just lost mine and was thinking of replacing it with the neo+ but the Upro Go looks tempting.

I have an old school iGolf Neo, before Bushnell bought them. And yeah...it was $30/year. Not a bad deal if you ask me...until smartphones came along. SkyDroid is like $1.99, doesn't have an annual fee, and gives you just about every ability any GPS device will. You can measure how far you hit a shot, and you can even use Google Maps to figure out how far you are from a certain layup spot. It has points predetermined on there, and you can change them if you wish.

Pretty sweet deal if you ask me, just a thought.

well i have a neo and original like yours and loved it. but i wanted more courses than it gives so i have a new golfbuddy world i love. although i miss sometimes how long the battery lasted on my neo plus i usually play the same courses as i am a member at one so ten is plenty.

but gotta disagree on one point you make that so many do when comparing. does skydroid work for cheap on a smartphone ...yes. how long does the battery last though? in my use...on my samsung captivate....about 10 holes...thats right...not a full 18. sometimes it didnt make 9.

the neo? it used to last me 4-5 full rounds of golf on one charge. 4-5 rounds vs skydroid as little as less than half of one round. stick with golf specific devices if one does not want to fiddle with extra battery packs etc.

I have an old school Neo and it served its purpose I didn't need anything more, now I just use my phone Skydroid and it works well for me. I can play a full round and still have half my battery left. If it makes any difference I have a HTC G2 Tmobile phone.

My droid is pushing it to finish 18 holes on a fairly quick day when I am running Skydroid. I think that when it is time for me to get a new phone the battery life is going to be my main consideration as I like the apps just as much if not more than any GPS unit I have seen other than the battery concerns.
