Just for the guys and gals that love golf. I moved from my old Audiovox PPC6601 pocket pc (with a separate BT GPS dongle) to this device.
But, after first plugging it into the USB sync it died on me only for the mainboard to be replaced.
That's not such a bad thing since now it is stable as rocks and my IntelliGolf GPS application worked flawlessly. QuickGPS helps a lot to sync and at one point I remember taking my eyes off the golf ball and seeing 10 satellites synced.
That means, a much more accurate reading and if I haven't already mentioned it the fix on the course is very fast.
But, here's why this device really rocks for Golf. The extended battery I ordered from Hong Kong (2 just as a back up) can easily handle 1 round of 18 hole golf and it only used up less than half the battery!!! That suggests the device could handle 2 rounds of 18 hole golf (for 3 players).
Show me any other device that has integrated SIRF GPS that can do that and I will be impressed.
Happy Golfing.
