GolfLogix, one of the leaders in no-frills GPS technology for golfers has announced a unique 30 day trial program for their popular GPS-8 model.  Simply buy a GolfLogix GPS-8, try it for up to 30 days, and if you don’t like it (at least don’t like it enough to want to keep it), GolfLogix will give you your money back.  

While I wouldn’t classify the program as a true “try before you buy” incentive, getting the chance to try out electronic gear without worrying about either being stuck with a product that doesn’t meet expectations, or facing restocking fees, certainly makes the GolfLogix an appealing option for those interested in, but not necessarily committed to golf GPS technology.

While similar devices such as the OnPar, uPRO, and SkyCaddie pride themselves on advanced features, like full color screens, satellite flyovers, touch screens, or fancy cartoon images, GolfLogix has made a conscious decision to make things as simple as possible.  Simply turn the unit on, and the GolfLogix GPS-8 will do the work.  No menus to sort through, no scrolling, no button-pressing at all.  The GPS-8 makes sure all the relevant information is readily available, freeing you up to worry about nothing other than your next shot.  With the GolfLogix you will give up some bells and whistles of some other units, but many golfers prefer the accurate simplicity offered by the GPS-8.

Apart from a large screen, and precise measuring capabilities, the GolfLogix GPS-8 features:

• Large, easy to read, number displays for golfers with good, and not-so-good vision
• Adjustable screen contrast and backlight settings
• Waterproof case
• Shock proof and impact resistant
• Up to 22 hour battery life
• Storage for up to 20 courses
• Instant distances to greens and hazards, displayed in yards or meters
• Included belt or bag clip
• 100% hands free operation

The GolfLogix library features over 22.600 courses.  An annual subscription will run you $29.95.  The GPS-8 retails for $299.95 and is available at a proshop near you, or online at TGW.com – The Golf Warehouse – Golf’s #1 Online Superstore.
