GolfLogix is a Garmin eTrex GPS receiver For Golf Nuts!

GolfLogix and Garmin got together and created the ultimate GPS device for golf nuts - the GolfLogix GPS system.
The GPS receiver portion of the device is actually a Garmin eTrex GPS receiver, which interestingly can be purchased for under $100. But from there, they added a green outer casing and extra software that can manage golf course data. Those extra features bring the price up on the GolfLogix GPS device up to $350.

While on the greens, the GolfLogix GPS can show you instant distances to the frong, center, and back of the greens, as well as all hazards. The software also auto-advances to each target on the course for hands-free use.

The device is suitable for all weather conditions featuring:

• A backlighted screen for dark conditions


• Adjustable screen constrasts for direct sunlight use


• A completely submersible waterproof case to protect from water and rain


• Shock proof for hard, rugged outdoor use

The Garmin GolfLogic eTrex GPS has a large LCD screen that measures 1.25 x 2.25 inches. You can change the settings on the device to show information in either yards or meters. The 12 chanell GPS receiver has precise accuracy (+/- 2 yards), and holds multiple golf course maps. If you'd like to add more golf courses to your device, there are thousands available on their website. Additionally, included with your purchase of the device is a free downloadable course. If you're a true golf nut, and travel the world to scope out the best golf courses, then you may also wish to subscribe for unlimited golf course downloads for just $29.99 per year.

The battery life on the GolfLogix GPS receiver is a nice 22 hours. This device will be available for purchase exclusively through ForeFront in March 2007 for $350.
