S&E
Bought this after Izzo Swami stopped supporting their 4000+ model and I am very satisfied.
Setup: Paring to my phone took several attempts but once done individual course updates are quick and easy. I don’t think updates are automated for courses you’ve played so it seems you have to manually select your course on the app and it will tell you if the course data is current or if not, it will perform a very quick update. This is a dream compared to waiting on a full 30,000+ course update for other devices I’ve had.
Handling: The magnet is stronger than I expected and I have zero concern about it falling off a golf cart support bar. I don’t use the supplied clip as I’ve have bad experiences with ALL gps device clips. I did purchase a flexible generic screensaver sheet, cut it to near size, applied it and trimmed with an x-acto knife. Just being cautious as I’ve scratched previous devices on all the junk that resides in my golf bag pockets.
Usage: Accuracy, battery life and display size and brightness all work well for my needs. Auto hole advance and is easily changed if necessary by toggling up/down button. I don’t use device scorekeeping as nothing is faster than a pencil. I haven’t yet used the app for course view but will for any new course. I was pleasantly surprised that layups and hazards were all available for the muni courses I play although the abbreviated code list (about 70 of them) is somewhat daunting.
Wish List: I’d like to be able to mark a few of my own specific spots (a corner, a tree, top of hill etc) that may not necessarily be included as marked hazards. Storing this data separately could prevent it from being wiped out by course updates. Yes, I suppose I could open the app and use the course view…..But hey, I can dream can’t I ?
Even for a basic device I was hoping a Bushnell product would deliver more features and functionality than the commoditized cheapo devices and this one certainly does.
