Garmin GPS Dashboard Mount for Second Vehicle for eMap and StreetPilot GPS Systems

Your GPS really gets around. Better get this dashboard mounting base so you can use it in a second vehicle. Temporary and permanent adhesive disks included.
Customer Review: Second vehicle mount
I bought this for my second car so I would not have to worry about taking the mounts with me each time I changed vehicles. I have a fixed mount in my Jeep on the center console (Garmin 7200 too big for windsheild area) and a bean bag mount in my Motorhome.
Customer Review: MH traveler
This item is very easy to use. I move my Garmin GPS between a motorhome and two vehicles. It is strong enough to hold a large GPS mean't for motorhomes and tractor trailers in a steady position.


The Oregon 400t is the top of the line of the Garmin GPS units. It new technology makes it a great hunting GPS unit. The 5 reasons it makes a great hunting GPS are:

1. Lightweight - The new Garmin Oregon 400t is extremely lightweight because it doe not have any external buttons. It has a fully operational touch-screen set up. It is very easy to use because all the options are on the screen. You do not have to remember which button does what function.

2. Pre-loaded Topographical Maps - Getting very detailed topographical maps is essential when using a GPS for hunting. The Garmin Oregon 400t comes pre-loaded with the topographical maps you will need. Garmin has used new user friendly programming so you do not need to be a topo map expert to get the most out of the GPS and its' maps.

3. Electronic Compass - Garmin has also included an electronic compass in the Oregon 400t. This is a very important feature which allows hunters to get a bearing while sitting in a tree stand or standing still.

4. Micro SD Memory Card Slot - The Garmin Oregon 400t also has a Micro SD card slot for additional memory. You can use it for holding specialized hunting maps for certain hunting areas or even carry a MicroSD card with pictures of your previous hunts to show your trophies off to other hunters in camp, right on your Oregon 400t touch screen.

5. Wireless Exchange Between Users - The Oregon 400t allows you to exchange information, wirelessly, between users. This will allow you to alert other hunters in your hunting party of your position as well as the location of animals in the area.

So, as you can see the Oregon 400t has many features that are of great benefit to hunters. This is why the Garmin Oregon 400t is rated as a best hunting GPS unit.

Do you really need an oversized golf driver? And what material should an oversized golf driver head been made of? When you're searching for this kind of golf clubs there a few things to think of.

1. Do you need a standard, midsize or oversized golf driver?

2. What head material?

WHAT SIZE?

Choose a standard head size of about 155 cubic centimeters if you are a good golfer who wants to have more control of the driver and who can also hit the ball well with a small sweetspot.

A midsize driver is a size bigger. The head is about 190 to 200 cubic centimeters and therefore, the sweetspot is also slightly larger. Very suitable if you are a mid handicapper and want to lower your handicap.

Oversized golf driver heads are between 200 and 250 cc. Characteristics: larger sweetspot, so fewer mishits, but harder to control as the weight has become heavier. The biggest golf driver heads have a volume of up to 400 cc, sometimes called oversized Jumbo heads.

WHAT HEAD MATERIAL?

The rule of thumb is: the harder the head material, the more your club forgives you. Although this also depends on the ball's compression or hardness. Aluminium and the different types of titanium alloys are nice to start with. But if you really want to have the top category, then choose golf heads of HST Aluminium, 17-4ph stainless steel or 431 stainless steel. The best are titanium, maraging metal, bi-metal or tungsten.

Titanium is the hardest and lightest head material. Many of the biggest driver heads are made of titanium. Ideal for beginners and high handicappers. But this material is more expensive than steel.

Pay attention: if you see a too cheap set with an oversized golf driver and fairway wood heads of, for example titanium alloy, be careful. The fact is that this head is not made of 100% titanium. It is even possible that there is only a small percentage of titanium in it!

Stainless steel is cheaper en heavier than titanium and titanium alloys. Oversized golf club heads made of stainless steel have smaller sweetspots due to a smaller head. But if you are a mid or low handicap golfer, this is good material for an oversized golf driver.

There are other important checks for selecting standard, midsize or oversized golf drivers. Such as shaft length and flex. You can find them in my Lady Golf Driver Checklist.

I sometimes smile when I see golfers who I have seen regularly playing the game for many years yet they still make the same basic mistakes I saw them making when I first joined the golf club. You would think that by now they would have learned how to become better players than that.

The errors they make are not the careless mistakes of an experienced player and you would think that they should have eradicated them from their game a long time ago. The reason they still make those same mistakes and errors is because they always thought they were good enough that they did not need any golf training lessons or advice.

There are some aspects to the game of golf that we should all aspire to improving. You can improve your physical fitness and strength, you can improve your golf stroke play and you can develop your mental approach to the game. All three aspects can be improved and your golf will be more satisfying and enjoyable if you do accept that your golf will benefit from some good advice and golf training instruction.

There are alternatives to having lessons at your golf club and one of the best is to purchase golf instruction courses online. I found the huge benefit of using these courses is that you can study at times to suit you whether that is for a few minutes each day or you spend your weekend studying how to improve your play. You can practice what you have learned anytime you play a round of golf.

These courses usually include a lot of video golf training which is superb for helping you understand what you must do to improve your game and you can watch them time after time until you totally understand what you need to do to improve.

I have found these online instruction guides extremely helpful and my game has improved as a result of studying them and I would suggest that anyone who enjoys playing golf could benefit and achieve more success and have more fun playing golf.

As a lifetime golfer Tim Line has gone from being a frustrated golfer to one who can enjoy a satisfying game. You can read reviews of golf training aids at http://www.bestgolfinstructions.com

Child Locator by Brickhouse Security with Distance Alert (As Featured in the Duracell Ad) Child Locator Device

Locate Your Wandering Children AnywhereAs featured in the newest Duracell "Power To Protect" campaign, The BrickHouse Locator is an innovative product because it is both preventative and problem-solving. It not only helps you locate your child, but it also alerts you if your child is wandering too far. Using Locate Mode, the on-screen directional display and audio guidance will lead you to your child. The device beeps faster as you get closer, letting you know when you are near.Children tend to wander in busy public places, where it can be a challenge for parents to keep an eye on them. If your children wander, don't panic, just grab The BrickHouse Child Locator and find them, fast. Simply attach a small Tag to your children's shoes, jacket, or backpack, and let the homing device lead you to their location in seconds. The BrickHouse Child Locator alerts you the instant your child leaves the safety zone. The portable tracking device will beep, vibrate, and visually lead you to the Tag quickly and easily. As an added safety precaution, your child can press the Panic Button to alert you of an emergency.
Customer Review: Not all of these reviews are legitimate
It is obvious that the two reviews that give this 5 stars are written by the company that sells them. I have been looking for info on this product on numerous web sites and have seen the exact same reviews there also. Based on this I cannot recommend this product
Customer Review: Very disappointed
I bought this for an upcoming trip to Disney. After testing it out at home, my husband and I decided to return it. When purchasing this product the sales agent told me that I could specify the distance (number of feet) that I would want before it would alert me. This is not entirely true, you can only specify Near, Medium and Far. In testing the Near setting, we found that is about a 50 foot distance - which is a lot farther then I would like. Fifty feet would be great if I was in an empty park (like the commerical) but in a crowded place - 50 feet is way too far. Additionally the alarm is not as loud as expected. I was told (again by the sales agent) that the alarm on the tag is VERY loud and that alone would probably cause the kidnapper to back away from the child. This again is not completely true. Maybe in a place where no one else is around or everyone is quiet you would hear the tag, but definitely not in a crowded place. As far as the return policy - the customer service is very slow. You only have 5 days to return the item. I called and was put on hold after telling the agent that I wanted a refund. I had to call back only to be told that I need to submit a request online and she would send me a link. This product is completely overpriced - it should be more like $100 not $189. Would not recommend this to anyone.


You may think it's quite simple to choose your golf balls; well they are all the same aren't they? Well no, this isn't actually true, golf balls may all look the same and look pretty simple on the outside but each one is made differently with either performance or value in mind.

When hunting for golf balls you need to first sort out which ones are value balls, and which ones are performance golf balls. If you are just starting out you may want to go for the value golf balls first rather than dive straight in to professional balls. With value balls you don't need to worry too much about losing quite a few as you do for performance golf balls which typically cost three times as much. As you start to get more comfortable playing golf you will start to improve your game and lose less golf balls. You can then start to move on to the more performance based golf balls which can potentially knock a few strokes of your game.

Take a close look at your golf ball dimples. Not all golf balls have the same shaped dimples and this can actually affect the distance and lift your ball experiences. There are a variety of shapes your golf ball dimples can have such as round, triangular or hexagons. Round dimples are the standard for most golf balls but if you want your golf ball to travel a longer distance you can try out a golf ball with hexagon dimples.

The amount of dimples your ball has can also affect what it does in the air. The more dimples your ball has the more backspin you can create and so the higher the ball will go. You may not want to count the dimples by hand of course so do some research on the ball type first. Each golf ball will typically have between 300 and 500 dimples depending on the model.

There are also a variety of other factors to consider about the manufacture of the golf ball such as the core stiffness, cover thickness and stiffness. The cover can affect the velocity and backspin of the ball where as the core can affect the ball's responsiveness. In fact there are a variety of materials that will be used for different balls that can affect your game in subtle ways.

You may not realise it but even the very colour of the ball can affect your game. White balls are generally cooler as the material reflects all light giving it the white colour. Black balls or other darker coloured balls will absorb most light making the ball and air around it warmer.

About the Author

Aslan Golf offer value golf balls for starters and the more experienced golfer, with detailed information on the dimple count, layers, core compression and other features that tell you clearly and precisely about exactly what the ball is designed to do.

Are you still using paper maps to navigate in your car? Of all the high tech gadgets that have become popular in the 21st century, the GPS navigation device is one of the best and must-have. This device can help you tool around town or guide you on a cross-country trip. Convenient and helpful, GPS navigation systems come in a wide range of styles and prices. Depending on what you need and want in a GPS unit, you can surely find one within your budget.

A GPS navigation device can save you time by helping to guide you to your destination. You don't need to waste time looking at a map or stopping to ask for direction along the way. Instead, you'll have instant access to your directions in real-time format.

It is cumbersome to look at a paper map while driving. The only safe way of looking at it is to pull over to the side of the road or get a passenger to read it for you.

For female drivers who drive alone or at night, traveling with a gps navigation system offers safety and prevents them from getting lost. They don't have to stop at unknown places to ask strangers for direction.

The GPS navigation system is like having a map that is constantly updated with the latest information. No more guessing is involved. The GPS device gets its information from a large bank of data that is constantly being updated to ensure accuracy.

For the most complete navigation, choose a system that gives you both audio and graphical directions. This allows you to see the map on the screen as well as to hear the specific spoken directions. Some GPS navigation systems integrate the radio speaker system to speak to you. Before purchasing a GPS device, be sure to think about your need for audio and visual guidance.

There are various brands, features and types of GPS navigation systems to choose from. More sophisticated systems obviously will cost more than simpler models. Some units are portable and can plug into the cigarette lighter. Others require technical installation. Keep in mind that some manufacturers will void the warranty unless the unit is installed by a certified dealer. As technology is constantly evolving, you should purchase a GPS navigation device that is upgradable.

Think about how you will be using your GPS navigation system. Some units can tell you where the nearest point of interest. For example, you can ask to search for the nearest grocery store and the GPS device may be able to give you several options along with directions. Stucked in a traffic jam? Use a GPS navigation device to help find alternative routes. If you want to get your destination in the quickest way, a GPS system can give you direction and time of travel.

GPS navigation devices are becoming cheaper. You can get a basic one for less than $200 and it can do much more than paper maps. Isn't it time to ditch the paper map for a gps navigation device?

GPS navigation device is becoming an indispensable gadget that most people don't leave home without. There are gps navigation systems to suit every budget and needs. Check out our top resources on the latest car gps navigation systems at http://www.gpstrackingsys.com

Garmin Astro 220 and DC-20 GPS

DVD Garmin Astro The most comprehensive, instructional, training DVD to teach you all the features and functions and HOW TO USE and MAXIMIZE your unit. This step-by-step training DVD walks you through the key features of the unit from the basics to advanced operation. Learn everything you need to know to begin using your new satellite navigator. 40 min.


The GPS - or global positioned satellite system is something that may appear to be a fantastic device right out a sci-fi thriller, but actually there is a lot more practical utility to the device than simply an exciting name. It may look much like something secret agent 007 would carry, but today's consumers owning vehicles and with a road-trip to make can actually swear by the ease and added functionality to their driving experience that the GPS system in their cars has provided them. Not only can a car owner letting a driver or another family member using their vehicle keep a tab on the vehicle, but also know exactly at what time the vehicle passed by specific places.

All these things, besides giving road directions to the destination point via different routes, highway speed limits and town speed limits etc. are updated to the driver of the car that is equipped with the modern road-map information system, also known as GPS vehicle tracking system. Since one also gets to know where the vehicle has been, the utility of the GPS system is even further enhanced when it comes to checking for the fuel average of the car, cross-checking if the driver or spouse is telling the truth and know exactly how safe the children are with the new care-givers who may be driving the car.

Besides the above scenarios, even when giving the car out to a teenager or a relative/friend, it is easy to know what they have been using it for with the vehicle fitted with a standard GPS system; this allows vehicle owners to lend out or use their vehicles with greater peace of mind and know the person driving it won?t get lost or run out of fuel, since the GPS helps with both navigation and updates on the car's condition.

The above advantages are the unique selling points of this great new-age invention of the 21st century, namely the GPS tracking system for vehicles. It works on a satellite based network that picks info from different satellites sent into space for photographing and displaying the information about various world events with minute by minute details.

Since these satellites also provide information and images to TV, Internet and Weather updates, it is a guarantee that they will also provide accurate and up-to-date information about tracking road routes, preventing auto-thefts, children's safety and that of a lone driver on a highway/unfamiliar city etc at any time of the night or day.

It also tells the owner of a vehicle about the past road-history of the car, so this makes the GPS system's scope exciting and applicable to many different uses, including police help.

Even if its an arid desert town, it isnt surprising that Las Vegas would have an ample amount of golf courses available. After all, its the entertainment capital of the world. If worlds entertainment capital should have massive casino complexes and a chain of designer shops, it shouldnt be a wonder if there would also be golf courses. Even if the annual rainfall on 4.49in is on the poorest level with humidity frequently lower than 10%.

Yet despite the fact that it receives the least amount of rainfall, multitudes of golf courses have sprung up in this Nevada desert. And not only that, some of the Las Vegas Golf Courses have one of the best challenging holes and the most imaginative aesthetics available. Here are some of the best the Las Vegas Golf Courses that you should check out.

Painted Desert Golf Club

5555 Painted Mirage Road

Las Vegas, NV 89149

Call: 702-645-2880

Even in the harshest arid conditions and ceaseless sun, Painted Desert Golf Clubs soft and undulating green is so majestic that it is considered the best maintained Las Vegas golf course. And despite being located in the entertainment capital and having the star quality of world renowned golf courses, it is way cheaper than most first class golf courses, like, say Californias Pebble Links.

Challenging landscape also offers a hefty test to golfers. Painted Desert shows a deceptively open fairway. Yet the moment you blast away then youd realize how on earth you got out of bounds. Further ahead, a situation calls for daunting water clears that can really make you queasy.

Painted Desert Golf Club deserves an acclaim not for being situated in Sin City, but for its classic characteristics reminiscent of celebrated golf courses. Truly its something unexpected, and a pleasant surprise too to find an excellent and down to earth Las Vegas Golf Course in the midst of over priced Las Vegas glitz.

Rhodes Ranch Golf Club

20 Rhodes Ranch Pkwy

Las Vegas, Nevada 89148

Clark County

Call: 1-800-470-4622

Its even surprising that Las Vegas golf courses like Painted Desert Golf Club and Rhodes Ranch Golf Club existing in the midst of a city known for its hedonism. Yet they do and they promote wholesome values. Rhodes Ranch Golf Club is a pure reason why you should plan the next vacation event in Las Vegas. Dont worry about those neon lights, at Rhodes Ranch Golf Club; country life existed right through the very soil. Take a picnic around the vast landscape or do play golf, Rhodes Ranch Golf Club is all family affairs.

Timex Ironman T5J985 Unisex Trail Runner Bodylink Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Accept no imitations or limitations. There is only one Timex IRONMAN* Triathlon�. Stylish enough for the weekend warrior, technical enough for the extreme athlete. Don't swim, bike, run, jump, climb, throw, or kick without one. FEATURES INCLUDE: INDIGLO� night-light; Water Resistant to 50m; Size: Extra Large; Dual Time Zones; One-Year Warranty; Alarms;2 Year Battery Life; Preset heart rate zones;Automatically set your 5 training zones;Measure recovery heart rate; Amount of time spent within selected zone; Heart rate display in %-of-max format; GPS functionality to provide latitude and longitude; Ascent and descent rates;Up to 10 waypoints; On-the-move directional heading; Navigate to selected waypoints.
Customer Review: Doesn't work in the mountains
The heart rate monitor is very simple to use and works great. This instrument also tells time, but that's it. When skiing in the mountains, it just plain doesn't work. If you bet your life on the gps coordinates getting you back to the parking lot in fog, they would find tour new watch frozen to your inert body. I have a Garmin product that actually picks up satellite signals, this watch does not. Even on a mellow cross country outing, the gps fails 50% of the time, at best. I can't even imagine it working properly amongst high buildings.
Customer Review: had troubles with it
This is crucial information for not well satellite covered regions: this watch needs to contact at least TWO satellites to establish a GPS connection (I read that in the manual when I had already buy it... at least 2, and I'm not sure that maybe 3 are needed). Where I live, every other GPS device I know works fine, but this doesn't. If I travel some 200 miles north from where I live (a major Mexican city), the GPS works perfect... but not where I live (because above my head it seems that there's only one GPS satellite). So, I bought the watch, but although any other GPS watch my friends have work right here, this has never worked... so I've only used the HR monitor. But precisely, yet another issue... the HR monitor has worked perfect, but after a year and a half, it has stopped working in a constant way. I changed the watch and monitor batteries, but still the same. When starting workout it gives a correct measure, but after a few minutes it locks in 240 bpm. I'm sure the contact isn't wrong (the sensors are humid enough), so there's no other explanation but that the watch has give it all, although I always take care of it very much so it doesn't get too wet, clean it properly, etc. In the last month I did 2 Ironman's and 1 marathon, so I'm everyday totally depending of this kind of equipment to train and compete. I'm not seeing other alternative than to buy other different watch. One thing I specially do like from this watch is the timer: I can set two different timers and put them in repetition, so I can for example train fartlek: say 45 secs full speed + 2:30 jogging, and the watch also displays what repetition number I'm doing, so I don't have to be keeping nothing in mind and lets me just concentrate in my run. I see that most of the other posts talk wonders of this watch, so maybe it's true and my situation is an isolated one (that I just had bad luck with a manufacture-details one), but even though I think it might be useful for others to report my particular use case.


Aiming for a correct golf slice? Most golfers usually experience the problem of slicing the ball. What some players usually do to compensate for this is by aiming their drive way over the fairway to avoid it falling on the opposite side. The remedy should actually be correcting your golf slice, mastering this technique will save you a lot of strokes during the game.

To improve yourself in this game, it requires a lot of patience and correct assessment of your problems. A wrong analysis of things will not make your game any better.

The first thing you do to correct this problem is by checking if your stance is correct. The proper stance is by placing your feet apart about the same distance as your shoulders. Make sure that your shoulders are straight and aligned towards the target before making that swing. You should be in a comfortable position to be able to swing the club with proper force.

Take note that your elbows have to feel comfortable and not awkward. You have to be critical of all the changes that you make in your body while executing your swing. Think of your self as a precision machine trying to fire a projectile, any minor alterations will change the course of your hit.

Now, let us concentrate on your grip. The correct way to hold the club will be to have your left hand and thumb in line with the shaft, place this in line with your right shoulder. Make sure that your hands are in a straight position aiming toward the club. Also, take note of your grip; it should be as tight as holding an apple in your hand. Now, wrap your right hand over your left hand and make sure that your right palm is above your left thumb. If you grip this too tightly, this will make you hook the ball instead of slicing it. A weak grip, on the other hand, causes your hands to roll back and make your weaker hand face the target while your stronger hand is pointing the other way. The correct angle of your swing must be from the inside going out.

So you can analyze and practice your swing better, you will really need to go to the driving range to correct your grip. Take note of the small adjustments that you make so that you can correct your grip and angle of swing.

The proper downswing is done by using your hips while your eyes are fixed on the ball and your head is behind the ball; with this, you will have a smooth follow through. By correcting your swing, you also master a correct golf slice.

Many people ask, "How do I improve my golf game?" And the answer is not always a simple, straightforward one. There are three possible places in which you have the opportunity to improve your game, they are: the short game, the putting game and the power game. Golfing success is mastering the skills to the 'best of one's ability' not becoming the next greatest thing in golf. You are golfing to have fun, not to beat everyone and their brother - although that is a nice perk, having fun is more important and getting your game right is a great beginning.

There are several kinds of shots that strike fear in the golfer, whether it's a fairway bunker play, putting at close range or it could be the drive; sooner or later, there comes a shot that you wish you could skip or someone else could take it for you. For some people, it's the chip shot.

Poor chipping can ratchet up your score every time. It's a heart wrenching thing to watch your ball go happily bouncing on to the green, then suddenly roll across or past the hole and fly down the other side, off the green into the wild blue yonder. Just as annoying is a high-flying chip shot that goes flying past the hole, never even rolling on the real-estate near the hole.

How do you correct this? Well, you can ask anybody and they will have a tip for you. There are a million and one tip on how to correctly execute a chip shot and you could do very well to listen to them. However, there is one tip that is far better than all the rest and it has to do with your hands at the impact of the club and the ball.

If your hands lead the club face through the impact, you will experience a great chip shot each and every time.

How do I improve my golf game? - could be a simple thing as improving your chip shot. Like many shots, move the greater part of your weight to the left foot. Towards the back of the stance is where you want to play the ball, making sure the hands go ahead of the ball. This is so important if you want to control your shots on the golf course. Setting up your hands so that they lead your body through the shot is the most important part of this exercise.

You are trying to hit the ball without scooping it or sliding the club face across the ball. It's a downward strike in which your wrists are not allowed to dominate. The entire success is depended on your hands going before the ball.

This is only one answer to "how can I improve my golf game?" but it's a good answer and will help those who are afraid of the chip shots and with a little, or a lot, of practice, can concur the chip shot and get the ball on the green near the hole, not past it.

Navigon 2100 Auto Bean Bag Dash Holder with Car Charger - Uses Gomadic TipExchange

Our New Gomadic Bean Bag & Windshield Car Mount allows you clear visibility and finger tip access to your device in an attractive; streamlined package. The Gomadic Windshield Mount promotes reliability along with style and ease.

Here are just some of the highlights of this holder.


For most of us, GPS has revolutionized the navigation world in a way that few could have predicted. The ability for the average civilian to buy a relatively cheap, handheld, battery operated GPS and have the ability to interface with satellites around the world, providing the user with his or her location and altitude has been a god send. The applications of this technology have been equally impressive. In fact most of us have become so reliant on the technology that we would have serious difficulty operating in a world without GPS navigation. Even though GPS continues to provide an invaluable infrastructure for global navigation, there is an evolution of sorts taking place in the world of GPS navigation.

Europe has delved into the world of GPS navigation that had so far been the domain of the United States. Galileo is the project name for the European satellite navigation system that unlike the United States program, is designed specifically for commercial and civilian use. Galileo relies on a network of 30 satellites and ground stations provide the means for satellite radio navigation. The Galileo system is aimed at complementing the current GPS system and enabling a higher degree of navigational accuracy for the general population. Its creators claim that Galileo will enhance accuracy to within one meter, opening the door to a raft of new possibilities for GPS says www.buyingagps.com The new system will require a new receiver although the Europeans say that the device will be small and cheap as it is squarely aimed at the consumer market.

Although the technology is clearly just a variant of an existing model, the future looks promising for Galileo. Already there is talk of applications for the blind, law-enforcement, customs services, the justice system, transport and logistics and also search and rescue. If nothing else this technology may just make it that bit easier for die hard fishermen who have been such stalwarts of GPS!

There has been a lot of talk, questions and debate on a number of forums and in magazines about the iGolf Neo but I have yet to find a comprehensive review.

In this article I intend to give you a short review on this particular model and I have assumed that you are familiar with the basic functions and uses of a golf GPS.

The iGolf Neo has all the basics functions that you will need to play and improve your golf with, it is not loaded with irrelevant "bells and whistles". The folks at iGolf have concentrated on bringing us a no nonsense, extremely useful and more than functional model that has all the versatility that you will need at a very low price.

It has the following features:

-Comes with 5 courses of your choice and has an option to download further courses for an annual subscription of just under $35.00. The annual subscription needs some explanation. Unlike any other subscription this one allows for up to 100 golf courses per annum to be downloaded - for each year that you pay. In my experience there are very few weekend golfers that play more than 100 different courses in a lifetime let alone 1 year so this is an extremely generous download limit for the annual fee of just under $35.00.

The most attractive part of the annual subscription is that it is not compulsory and once downloaded you get to keep the courses on your own PC and not on some remote server. They "belong" to you and you can then stop your annual subscription and still retain full use of your iGolf Neo and the courses you have downloaded on to your computer.

- You can store up to 10 courses in the unit itself. This is probably adequate for most golfers

- Can be used anywhere in the world and with the 20 satellite channels is very accurate to within a couple of yards

- It is the cheapest unit on the market as well as the smallest. The size makes for one handed operation. It also allows fits comfortably in your pocket without losing any signals from the satellites.

- The Neo has an 80 x 120 pixel high contrast LCD screen which is very easy to read.

- The 14 hours of battery life that you get from the rechargeable Lithium Ion battery is the longest of any Golf GPS models that I have come across. Recharging the battery takes half an hour or so and can be done either from a wall socket or through a UBS port on your computer.

- It has a shot distance feature which allows you to learn exactly how far you hit each club in your bag. The more you play the more familiar and confident you become with your own game. You cannot help but improve.

- You can map up to 4 individual reference points per hole to suit your requirements.

- Quite simply you could purchase a more expensive model that does exactly the same or purchase the Neo and have a couple of hundred dollars change in your pocket.

This review would be incomplete without telling you the negatives:

- Firstly it is unfortunately not compatible with MAC computers. It operates off Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

- The belt clip is very flimsy and really not worth having. However the iGolf Neo fits comfortably in your pocket.

- The accompanying Start Up and User manuals leave a bit to be desired but the unit is so easy to operate that these are hardly required.

Having reviews a total of 17 different top selling models I can honestly say that this little baby is top of the class in terms of value for money, unless you particularly want a model that has a color screen and other bells and whistles.

I suppose the best review would come from current owners all of whom say they are more than happy with their purchase.

What can possibly be better than positive endorsements from happy users?

I hope you have found this iGolf Neo Review useful and that it will help you in deciding what GPS to purchase.

Deluxe Kit for the Navigon 7100 includes a USB cable with Car and Wall Charger - Gomadic Brand w/ TipExchange Technology

This item is available exclusively through Gomadic Corp on Amazon. Gomadic products are custom designed by Gomadic engineers and are built using carefully selected high quality components. Only Gomadics products use our unique TipExchange technology which provides an inexpensive way to convert your charger to support a new mobile accessory. In addition; this product; like all Gomadic products; is backed by a lifetime warranty. WARNING: Please note that this product is sold only through Gomadic Corp on Amazon. Other Amazon sellers that may be advertising on this listing; are selling non-Gomadic imitations which are different than the item description and are not covered under Gomadics lifetime warranty.


Previously, I looked at how the better manufacturers were creating what they call discretionary weight. That is weight that can be saved from one area of the golf club and then placed in another area that will help the golfer hit the ball straighter, further, more often.

The top brands invest lots of R&D dollars into experimenting with materials, design and the manufacturing process to try and find ways to deliver great shot making solutions for you in golf clubs with a great feel and quality finish.

Of course different manufacturing operations and different materials will have a real impact on the cost to produce. Irons that are cast where molten metal is poured into dies are much easier to manufacture and involve less steps and therefore cost less to make.

We are probably all familiar with the fact that forging will produce an Iron with a softer feel and a truer performance. Producing this level of quality will also come at an increased cost when compared to a one piece cast Iron. Titleist and Mizuno have consistently led the way with one-piece forged golf clubs for serious golfers.

More recently we have seen Irons manufactured from different materials with only the face and neck forged.

The Mizuno MX-900 3 7 Irons are a multi-piece, face and neck forged set.

The 8 Iron Wedges in this set are one-piece forged.

This combination allows technology to be built into the clubhead to support you where you need it most.

Choosing an Iron used to involve a first step decision on cast vs. forged but has now become a little more complex. Talk to your local Foremost PGA Qualified golf professional for expert advice on all aspects of the game.

GPS became available in the 1980's. For a long time the technology was only used by the military. It then became popular as a tracking system in cars. GPS Trackers are used for a variety of purposes, such as in cars, trucks and cell phones. Companies that have a large fleet of vehicles, such as a trucking companies or taxi cab and limousine services use GPS to track the locations of their drivers. They are also used as a safety precaution in the event that one of their vehicles is stolen or if a driver radios in that they are hurt or in danger, the problem of figuring out their location will be eliminated. The most common consumer use of GPS tracking systems is seen in automobile digital maps - a good resource for planning trips or helping drivers find new places without getting lost.

The use of GPS trackers is not limited to digital automobile street maps. GPS trackers are now being anonymously used to track a people. This is especially popular in families where a teenager drives the family car, and the teenager is suspected of doing things or going places they have been told not to go.

Choosing a GPS tracking system can often be overwhelming. Google's directory lists over 200 companies that provide GPS systems. Here are some brand names to consider when buying a GPS unit: Garmin, Navam, Magellan, Tele Type, Rocky Mountain Tracking, GPS Tracker. Many popular cell phone brands now have GPS functionalities built in.

Science is also beginning to use GPS trackers as a way to help conduct experiments and learn more about animal movements. Researchers can put collars with GPS trackers on nearly any kind of animal ranging from a bear to a mountain goat. Dog owners are also starting to buy dog collars with GPS trackers built in, to make it easy to find their pet in the event it gets lost, stolen or runs away. They are also being used as safety devices to track young children and even older patients suffering from Alzheimer's and other similar physically disorienting diseases. Even the GPS built into cell phones come in handy in search and rescue missions for emergency personnel, who can use a GPS tracking device to locate anyone whose cell phone has GPS built in.

First let me start out by saying that I did NOT purchase this GPS unit with geocaching in mind. I had heard of the sport but never really did any investigation of what it was all about until after I had purchased the unit.

Overall I think it is a good device... There are a number of positive things and negative things about it that I will detail below. I know for the holiday season that they are blowing these things out on their website to make room for the beefier brother that is also available on their website.

Some cool things I like:

The Color Screen - I find it easy to read, and even in bright sunlight I don't have a problem seeing it.

Downloadable Aerial Imagery and USGS Topo maps - Going beyond what you typically see in a GPS which is the map and road data you can also pay your $$ and download from the DeLorme website the aerial imagery. This is a bit expensive and I have heard (have not investigated) that they are now offering an annual subscription to this information that could save you quite a bit of money.

Waterproof Design and Case - I've dropped it into the lake and it was not harmed in the least. In fact I'm not even sure it knew that it was in the water. When I pulled it out and wiped it off it was as if nothing happened at all. The case is rubber, easy to hold on to, and I've dropped it without any problems.

Tons of Storage - I have never run out of space on this thing but having said that I also do not keep a permanent record of all of my waypoints and tracks on the device. It has more than enough space (75MB) to hold the maps and aerial images and the waypoints and caches that I intend to visit. You can also put a 1GB SD card behind the batteries (still waterproof) of the unit.

Things I DON'T like about it:

Slow to Acquire SAT Signal - I find there are many times that I have to power it off and try again to get a satellite fix. Not sure if this is just because of the area I am in or if it is a firmware or software problem. It is an intermittent problem and I find it does a much better job at acquiring signals if I am not moving.

The Download Interface - There are a lot of great software packages out there that will communicate with GPS and will help manage your cache finds, etc... Unfortunately I have not found any of them that will communicate directly with the PN-20. You have to load the files into TOPO USA and then send them over to the unit. An extra and annoying step and I believe it has something to do with the way it uses USB for communication.

Overall a pretty good unit especially at the prices prices I saw advertised today.

Would I buy another? I would have to think pretty hard about it simply because of the download interface issue with other software. They need to make communication with this unit easy for all software developers.
