How do you charge this unit and how long will it last on a single charge? and what does it mean that the GPS is not included?

1. a wall adapter for charging was included. 2. I use the golf buddy for 18 holes of golf (4 hours) and then recharge it before the next round. 3. I do not know what GPS not included means except for the obvious which doesn't make sense to me.

My unit is new and I can't quite get 2 rounds out of it...probably about 30/32 holes

A charger was included. I charge it after each 18 hole round; but the instructions indicate 2 rounds. I don't know what you mean by the GPS is not included. Mine acquires the satellite and finds the course.

Charge port is in the upper right corner of the unit. Full charge last about 12 hours. Charger included. My husband loves it. Don't know about GPS, but he says after charging, turn on and golfbuddy satelite instantly tracks the course you are on, No fees ever.

Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful. Also, please consider if you find the gps is not satisfactory, return the unit to Amazon or go ahead and buy it from a local Walmart for a bit higher cost, try it out and see what happens. BTW, I only need to charge my unit once each week and the provided test to check the unit works quite well. I like mine and the only negative in the experience is that in 5 Star advertisement, they really should note that a monthly tax will be added just like any telephone system. Mine adds about $3.Harry Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful.

I agree with David, that it should charge it, but every unit is different. The GPS output may be greater than the supplied charging input, so it may not charge as fast, but will charge, just like if you are using GPS on your phone and charging it at the same time.

Tablet warns you to unplug when battery is full. It does charge when using gps although not good. Use without charging then charge.

It has a smart bay and most units have some sort of CD/DVD Unit plugged into it but no all. It may be just a read or read write unit depending on original order. No GPS capability built in, would be an add on.

It comes with a USB charger. Plug into a computer. it has a funny clamp that connects the watch. Works well and stays charged when not in use as a GPS.

I own 2 4700 GPS's and can confirm the USB will indeed charge the units, albeit slowly.If left plugged in for a few hours the units achieve a full charge from my UBS port on the home desktop.

The unit does come with the cradle that the GPS fits into, along with the suction cup mount for the dash and the power cord that plugs into the cradle from the car's cigarette lighter. The unit charges from the power cord supplied in the box when plugged into the car. It does not come with a home charger. Hope this helps you out.

Mine came with the car charger,mount and instructions. The gps was preowned but it works great. I love it.

Was not included but has ports to allow for one. You can find one that will work for pretty cheap money. Side note - I probably would not buy unit again with hindsight. GPS sw needed update out of the box and would cost additional $75. Actually use phone gps that this unit now.

It has GPS capability, but you need to buy an add on device. I don't have one, so not sure what it costs

This unit does not require batteries, but it does require mini-USB power for the built-in speaker (it also charges the GPS).

It's supposed to be 8 hours with the gps on. But I have had two of these watches and the batteries both times had problems holding charges.

Came with a wall charger. I use my GPS a lot, so the charge in my phone doesn't last as long. But it lasts enough for you not to worry about charging before it dying.

Hmm, not really sure what kind of charging port the GPS uses, but it is possible if it is chargeable with USB port. Rugged Rukus has usb port that allows charging

Hi, about 24 hour or so. Iam using GPS and internet a lot so I cannot tell or sure. I was a bit disappointed at once, but its better then the one is bundled. I am using the old Nexus S that its self is draining battery.
