Out of date Garmin Golf Maps. Disappointed at Garmins response

Doglegs, Hills, trees

Have a quick walk to an area where it can zap the landing area you are looking at going towards - simple

A laser sight sorts all the problems out :thup:

When you haven't got a tree in front of you....
Or it's slightly misty
Or low light
Or sometimes in the rain
Or there's a mound in the way..

I have a laser too, but its difficult to use in the wind, and its almost always windy here!

Never had any issues personally - have managed to find my yardage with no problems

Why would I be holding people up ? Plenty of time to find my yardage whilst others are either sorting out their shot or even walking to the their ball.

Can't beat pacing it out from the previous distance marker!

Certainly doesn't sound very good at all and can see why you're annoyed. One of our holes has been remodelled but it's only a par three that imo doesn't require any gps gizmo anyway. Wonder if skycaddie have updated it yet. Will ask our Pro if I remember.

On their website, Snooper claim to walk the courses.

One of the main advantages of Skycaddie is that you can contact the guy who actuially walks the courses via social media, and he responds quickly. Also once he has mapped the course, it is ready for download shortly thereafter.

They dont do that, been there got rid, got Skycaddie watch, night and day and only about £40 dearer than the 'pretty old tech' S1

Someone came to measure our course by walking it earlier this year. There were spray marks on the tees and in the centre of the greens but I don't know which firm did it.
