I play half the year at 6000' elevation and half at sea level. Can I maintain two separate databases of club distances?

Doubtful. Ultimately a question for Game Golf. I would think you need two devices (and profiles) but you would probably see the stratification in distances on the club performance displays.

Hello,Yes you can have a setting for each club. You can not have 2 settings for one unless you switch out the readers each time.Thank You,Jarrett

Not being a golfer i couldn't say for sure. I'm not certain what the differences might be. However, this is a very good range finder for the cost. It's easy to use and does a good job.

The watch is preloaded with almost every course in the US. I don't think you should have to upload courses. I only had one course I had to update because they redid the layout of the back nine. I went to Igolf and I got an error message but played with the connection and got it to work.

I use this solely for golf and for the price it works well. It does not take into account elevation change and after 200 yards it gets a little tricky hitting the pin (if you can consistently hit the pin from 200+ with your shot you could probably land a sponsor and get a free rangefinder). If I cannot hit the pin with this I usually use a bunker or back edge to get within 10/15 yards.

Yes it is. Only models that show elevation angles or club selection are illegal.

Actually no. You can adjust the club face to square, open or closed. The open or closed settings are slight, one or two degrees, I can't remember the exact change. You can also adjust two sole weights to promote either a straight flight or a slight draw. All club heads are 440cc except the 11.5 degree and the 13.5 degree. These heads are 460cc.

Depends on the club. If you use a wedge, get as close as you can get. The ball may go too high. Otherwise, 5 or 6 feet back works for me.

via satellite I think... they must be pre loaded. Unlike my sky caddie, I don't have to load the course. When I get to the course and turn it on it lists the course name and asks if this is the one I want... I select yes and away we go.

Sorry, I don't know. If you go to www.gpsgolfbuddy.com and call their customer service # they are very helpful.

The Bushnell Tour V2 that I bought was the slope edition. It really makes club selection easier. Still have to calc for the wind speed and direction though, but I can't see anything that can be developed that will help a golfer in club selection by compensating for the wind when calcing distance. I have three of these in different locations so I'm not hauling one around on the plane.

Here is a great link that should answer your question:http://www.golfgps1.com/Garmin-Approach-S2-vs-S3-Difference-Between-Review.html

Not that I know of. The Golf Guru GPS is useless without it. I think Amazon has some explaining to do and some responsibility.

Husband does quite a bit of traveling to play golf, and the golfbuddy adalpts to several satellites. As long as the course is satellite equipped you will be ok. Most courses are. I hope I helped. My husband loves his golfbuddy.

You can go to one of the points, mark it as a waypoint and record the elevation. At this time I get rid of all tracks that are not needed because they may confuse things. Then go, not necessarily in a straight line, to the other point, mark it as a waypoint and record the elevation. Zero your trip odometer. Then, click "Where To" and select your first waypoint. Your Trip Computer screen should show distance to destination, and the map screen should have a track that runs right to it. I have not found a way to view the elevation difference directly, because I have never had a need for that. I hope that answers your question. There may be a better procedure, but that has worked for me.

Yes, close to all courses in the US are available. Pretty convenient little device. Would recommend purchasing a second battery if you ever play more than 18 holes. Battery will last for 27 holes max.

It will give you very accurate reads on ball speed and distance. Great for determining your average distances for each club.

Depends on the how accurate the GPS is able to locate the golf course that your are at. All you have to to do is tell it what state you are in by typing it in, and the starting letters of the name of your course, and it will give you a list of courses to choose. Pick the one your are at and you are up an playing golf. Hope this helps.
