I bought the Garmin and Love it. It is so easy to get up and running. I only wish you didn't need a computer for GSPRO and other apps.

I spontaneously bought the Garmin R50 a month ago. Was waiting on the golf enclosure to dial it in. The overall experience has been amazing. The Garmin is very user friendly, interactive, and is a great way to explore over 43,000 golf courses. The overall rating is 4 out of 5 stars because I’m still trying to figure out the accuracy from the gaming vs reality yardages. I agree with some of the other comments regarding the inaccuracy yardages are between 10-15 yards variance. I’ve tried to manually compute different elevation and humidity percentages. Still have not been able to dial it in, but I am very hopeful that it is possible. Any suggestions?

Works great, easy to use, good graphics
My only complaint is sometime the internal computer lags or glitches. If I try to plug it up to my projector before turning it on the whole thing freezes.
I’ve found easy work arounds but hope that gets fixed in upcoming updates!

It is so easy to use unlike the Skytrak with which i previously struggled to connect with my iPad. There is virtually no delay in finishing swing and getting data. I have so far used it solely for practice mode in the driving range. Missed data capture exceedingly rare. Video screen is bright and more than adequate. Could not be more pleased
