Can this be checked prior to purchase? I can see it would be a mammoth task to cover every golf course, but if yours is included I can see the benefits of owning one.

Great post btw. - and great site in general. Keep it coming James :) Just a quick price update: Garmin Approach G5 Golf GPS only costs $358.12

However, at $500 a pop, I feel they are a little overpriced. I have a friend who loves his Garmin GPS Golf Buddy. If they would come down in price, it would open up a new market (just like computers). I think these products are great when you are trying to navigate the course.

Now they have gone and taken the technology and applied it to golf... which I am not very good at... if only the device would take my handicap and suggest the right club to use!
