Sonocaddie V300 Golf GPS Unit Review

The Sonocaddie V300 golf GPS unit takes the guesswork out of how far your next golfing show will be. The unit has a 2.2 inch high resolution color LCD screen for displaying not just distances but, a range of display formats tailored to deliver relevant information for improving your game. The unit is a convenient handheld size suitable for use with one hand.

What is attractive about the Sonocaddie is that distance information is provided on a map matching the course layout so there is no interpretation involved such as with units that simply display distances as a list. A walking golfer icon shows your position on the hole in real time. The Sonocaddie V300 provides distances to important targets including front, center and back of green, water hazards, bunkers and lay-up areas. If, like me, you often need to review what went wrong the Sonocaddie V300 tracks each shot.

Other features provided by the Sonocaddie include a convenient digital scorecard, game analysis and personalized course mapping. Personalized mapping allows users to make updates to their course as it changes over time. Courses can naturally be downloaded online with the unit capable for storing up to 30 courses at one time. Purchasers receive 5 free course downloads with further downloads able to be purchased individually or under a single lifetime Sonostar GPS membership fee.

If your Sonocaddie V300 is likely to get wet like some of your golf balls, don’t sweat, as the unit is waterproof to the IPX6 standard (won’t float). The GPS receiver is a built-in, accurate 14-Channel one with the antenna being conveniently enclosed within the unit’s casing.

The Sonocaddie V300 comes with a mini USB Cable, rechargeable battery, user’s guide, belt clip, AC charger adaptor, and carry pouch. The battery will last for as long as 15 hours making a couple of days play without a recharge possible.
