| The Yardage Pro XGC Golf GPS device delivers the most accurate course information available as well as scorekeeping and statistic capabilities to the palm of your hand with a vivid, high-resolution color screen making it golf's ultimate GPS tool. With a unique hole up tracking feature for a "down the fairway" perspective, distance to the front, center, and back of green, distance to any point on green, and course images for each individual green as available, the Pro XGC allows you to know the course before you've even traveled it. The compact Pro XGC unit stores up to 100 courses with hole-by-hole detail so you are never without the correct course information. Finally, the Pro XGC is waterproof, so you can use it in any weather conditions without worrying. The Pro XGC is equipped with a large, 2.2-inch high-resolution sunlight-readable screen display. The screen has a backlight so that it can be used in any light conditions. The color screen allows you to download detailed color maps for the easiest to read GPS available. Designed to make your game smarter for fewer strokes, the unique hole up tracking feature gives you a "down the fairway" perspective, for easier and better course management. The Pro XGC is also equipped with a custom green map feature that gives you the distance to any point on the green, as well as course images for each individual green on the course. The Bushnell Pro XGC GPS is accurate within two yards, offering the best accuracy available for the game--and the same degree of accuracy as any other golf GPS devices on the market. Unlike a laser rangefinder, the Bushnell Pro XGC GPS allows you to determine the distance to objects that are not in your line of sight, providing you with distances to the green that are difficult to get with laser rangefinders. With rangefinders you can overshoot the green, and struggle to hold the rangefinder steady. The Pro XGC GPS gives you immediate feedback so you won't have to worry about holding up play and your concentration can remain on the game. The Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC allows you to store up to 100 golf courses at a time on one device. A membership to iGolf.com gives you access to the world's largest golf course database, allowing you to download up to 100 courses yearly, that all can be synced to your Pro XGC through a simple USB connection. The Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC offers you the birds eye view of the course so your play can be more deliberate, accurate, and successful. Using Bushnell Yardage Pro Sync and the iGolf Database:
Bushnell and iGolf have partnered to provide Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC users with the world's largest, most accurate database of GPS course files available. A free membership on iGolf.com enables you to track your handicap, catch up on golf headlines, and find reviews of your favorite course. A paid membership with a low one-year subscription fee allows you download and save up to 100 GPS course files annually. A one-year membership contract with iGolf allows you to download and save any available golf courses onto your computer to use with the Pro XGC. Since all golf course files are stored on your computer you can easily swap course files on and off the Pro XGC as needed. The currency of the information on the iGolf website is updated regularly with any renovations or changed holes so you have access to the most up to date information possible. Locate golf courses on the iGolf database using a simple search tool--just enter one or two keywords within the course name to produce a list of results. An advanced search option is available to narrow results further as necessary. After you have located your golf course in the iGolf database, you will see the GPS Enabled area of the screen. The program will let you know if Front/Center/Back measurements, Custom Points with measurements for the hazards on the course, and Course Images for each individual green are available. Transferring downloaded golf courses to your Pro XGC from your PC is easy. Simply open the Bushnell Sync Application, connect the Pro XGC to the USB port on the computer, and power up the unit. Select the golf course that you want to transfer off of the computer, click send, and you are done. Specifications: - 2.2-inch LCD screen

| Reviewer: sandman, lawrenceville, nj |
I did alot of research on the Golf GPS units before I made the decision to purchase the Bushnell XGC unit. I am extremely happy with this unit. Heres my summary-
- works like a charm
-battery life is excellent. I'd say I burn about 20% of the battery life for a round of golf.
-the golf course map and the scorecard features are really cool and very useful.Most courses I've played have the map feature. Some do not. At any time during the round you can get a scoring summary (birdies, pars, bogeys, putts etc).
-the contrast on the color screen is excellent. Plus you can change the contrast at any time.
-yardages are right on. A stroke saver.
-real easy to download the courses from the Bushnell website to the unit.
-price is really good for what you get. |

This GPS is awesome. It has a color screen, you can mark spots on the course, and on some courses you can see the distance to just about any spot on the course. Sometimes it does take a minute to pick up a signal but the majority of the time it is pretty quick. You can view how many satellites you are picking up.
Really the only negative I can say about this GPS is that you cannot save your score after a round. It tells you your score with number of putts, pars, birdies, etc. but it doesnt save it so you can look at it later although I think that is common on golf GPS's. |

| I bought the Yardage Pro as a replacement for an iGolf Triton that was stolen. I decided to upgrade to the color version and I'm so happy that I did. The added storage (100 courses vs 10) and the hole map are great additions. Also, I don't have to delete then reload a course to play it again just to reset the score features as with the Triton/XG. Also, I don't have to search for the course I'm playing because it automatically calls up the correct course based on location when it's turned on. Just an amazing unit. |

Pros: Easy to use on course. Great yardages. Probably taken 5-7 strokes off. Holds 100 courses
Cons: The interface to download courses is a little slow. Be patient when donloading, then check downloads to make sure the course was fully downloaded. For $35/yr you get 100 course downloads (credits), BUT if a course has 27 holes, that counts as 3 credits used. If a course has 18 holes, its only 1 credit.
Overall, I saw the value in this unit over the others. The hole maps, distances to hazards are great, and using the unit was easy. It fits in my pocket without being distracting and battery life seems great. |

| This is a great golf GPS unit especially for the price. It is accurate, simple to use, has a very easy to read display and lots of user flexibility. I have used it three times so far and love it. After three rounds, I still had 20% of batter left so it holds up well. With the great Amazon price [...], you can't beat this value! |

| The initial setup is a bear, they should really hire some qualified software developers and testers to implement their software solutions. If I wasn't an experienced software profession I would have never made it through the installation, connection and downloading of courses. The clock on the device doesn't work at all but that is really no concern fro me and you can not download your score and stats from the device. However it is a good device and gives reliable information. I also like that you do not have to have an annual membership. |

| Purchased the unit before christmas, have windows xp and had no problems with the sofware installation. Display is easy to read, even in sunlight. Unit appears to be very accurate, I have yet to check it against my son's laser, but will update when I do. Custom points are easy to add and love the mapped courses that you can measure any point. My only disapointment has come from Igolf. The one course I bought it for is not available, the techs at Igolf keep giving me excuses that the data is not available, even though the course next to it is mapped, and the courses are not 100 yards apart. At certain times of the year, they play an 18 hole tournament that uses both courses, they are so close together and are only nine holes each. They do keep giving my mapping credit back, but one of the reasons I bought the unit was to use it at Malden Country Club. Otherwise, the unit is easy to use, shot measuring is easy, battery life is like it says, about four rounds of golf. |
One of the Best

I spent a great deal to search for my next golf GPS to replace my aging SkyCaddie. After playing with my friend's Bushnell unit, I was sure this was going to be it. It has everything I wanted in my new unit. I was also getting fed up with my SkyCaddie limitation of 10 concurrent courses, annual memberships, and limited targets. Not to mention that SkyCaddie had their new SG3.5 on their web site as "Coming soon" since last Christmas and when I asked their sales person two weeks ago for the status, his response was "I don't know, I'm just in sales". I definitely wasn't going to give my business to them anymore.
I was about to click to confirm my order when I decided to google one last time for other candidates...and found Garmin Approach G5. I don't think I need to get into the merits of Garmin's GPS expertise. I have several Nuvis and they're great. I like their intuitive touch screen and simplified UI. It's also waterproof. A feature no other golf GPS can claim.
The biggest decision factor was that no fee for membership or courses. You simply go to Garmin's web site and download their latest course list and firmware updates for FREE! Currently, they have over 9400 courses and they can ALL be stored on the unit so no shuffling of courses. They did have a touch sensor issue, but a free update corrected the problem and they also added more features.
The only negative thing I find on this Garmin unit is that it IS the most expensive unit out there and would not be for eveyone. Because of the price, this Bushnell unit is probably the best price-performance buy (not to mention far superior than SkyCaddies). |

| This unit performs as well as the more expensive Garmin. The only issue I have is that it does not automatically change to the next hole . It took a while to learn how to download the various courses and then transfer them to the upro but once there it works great. |
I didn't want to spend more so maybe I should just shut up

| Reviewer: paolosangeles, West Hollywood, CA |
I just received the device today and obviously I was excited to get started on it. The installation experience of the software was horrible. I don't think the software that came with the CD is compatible with Windows 7 yet, the installation always gets stuck at 99%. The Bushnell site had a zip file of the software that says it is compatible with Windows 7 but that didn't work either. I had to move to my other computer which still had Windows Vista to be able to get the software installed. The software is simple but not intuitive. It relies on igolf gps mapping and I dislike how they name the golf courses. I also feel I wasted credits (you get 100 credits for $35/yr) by downloading golf courses twice because they named them (example) Griffith Park course 1 and Griffith Park course 2 but when you look at course 1 download it says 36 holes already the same with course 2.
I will update my review after I played with it this weekend.
Update: 03/14/2010
Finally able to take it out for a round. The device is accurate. I was using the scoring feature and after I enter my score for each hole, it automatically changes my map for the next hole. It's awesome that it keeps statistics of your game like number of putts, number of pars, bogeys, double bogeys etc. but as soon as you turn it off all that information is gone. It would've been nice if it had a score keeping feature that I could download to my computer for analysis later on.
The device is small enough to fit in your pocket and not be bothered knowing it's there.
Pointing to a custom point on the map is not that great because you can only move the target by up down and sideways and it moves by a fixed scale. I was actually disappointed with it. But all in all it does what it advertises.
Update: 08/08/2010
I have now used the device for about 15 rounds or so. I noticed that the device now no longer gets fully charged, battery life has been noticeably shorter and I'm one of those people who are really careful about not overcharging devices. So I know I took really good care of my GPS unit. The map feature doesn't always work, maybe 1x per round I'll notice that I can't point to a custom point on the map because the pointer does not appear. |

Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC
|
| Review Date: September 3, 2009 |
| Reviewer: R. J. Lynn, |
| I was hopeful that the Bushnell GPS would have been as advanced as their line of sight products. No so. The color and digital display of yardage are good but that is where it ends. Difficult to set up, poor visual on the course selection and the map function has only worked once in the last 10 times I played. Also, when charging, there is no indicator showing the the charging is complete. If you are looking for yardage only this device is acceptable. |
Basically works. Not well designed. Maps are iffy
|
| Review Date: July 21, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Max Rockbin, Portland, OR |
I am now a total expert on Bushnell Golf GPS's having owned the Yardage Pros XG, XGC and Neo.
Of these, the XGC was the only one that worked properly. It has problems, but I was able to read yardage.
Pros:
Good Satellite Reception.
Good data (with $35 subscription to iGolf - annual. But you can cancel after a year if you've already downloaded all the courses you want)
Solidly made (though very bulky)
Good Buttons
Works! (more than I can say for my experience w the Neo and XG models)
Cons:
About 3x bigger than my cellphone (why? My phone has a gps...)
A lot of extra crap menus (do you really need an option for News and for course Reviews on this device? Even if you did, the content is totally worthless)
BIG CON: The map function didn't really work on the courses I tried. Sometimes the unit would display the correct yardage to the pin in the main display, but the map didn't match the hole. It would show 800 yards because the map would actually be for a different hole). I returned it because I figured if the maps didn't work, I may as well have a NEO which has bigger yardage display and is smaller.
TERRIBLE Menu Display: Why would anyone choose to highlight a black menu with dark gray? You can't tell which selection is highlighted in sunlight. Period. Fortunately, you don't really need to choose from those menus during play. Still - the interface options were designed by a lab rat.
The Bottom Line: If the NEO actually worked for me (mine wouldn't let me install course data) I would buy a NEO over this in a heart beat. I'm sure the NEO does work for some people, so it might be worth your time to give it a try.
BUT since the XGC DID work and seems to be a little bit more modern electronically (e.g. seems to recognize USB natively without pretending it's an old fashioned 1980s serial port), I think I may have to go back to the XGC if I want a golf GPS. As stupidly designed and old fashioned as this device is, it may still be the best out there in terms of simply being a good tool to have on the course without being a hassle.
ALL I really want is something that tells me how far to the pin. How far to hazards or dog legs would be nice, but mostly I want distance to pin. Maybe I need a rangefinder, but I don't want to slow down play by pulling out a rangefinder on every shot. I want something where I can just glance at my bag and see the yardage. That's it. The NEO has its own issues, but if it worked, I think it's the most sensible tool for most golfers simply because it is the least intrusive.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT: AWFUL!!! Bushnell provides no support email on their website. It takes at least 10 minutes to get someone on the phone. If you do get someone on the phone, they'll be able to answer routine questions, but not much else. They were supposed to get back to me about my defective unit.
No call or email back. I get the feeling Bushnell simply doesn't want you to bother them.
