User Reviews about Sonocaddie XV2 Personal Golf GPS
This is a great little GPS for cheap.
It has been accurate to the yard when checked against Course built in cart GPS and friends Skycaddie GPS costing much more.

It's really very fast and simple.
These GPS's are being phased out for new models and can be had for great prices.
I only paid $110.00 from Rockbottom Golf through ebay and it works great, provides essencially the same or more information as much higher costing products and allows you to add new or modify existing points where many others will not.
You can even map out and save an entire golf course yourself selecting hazards, bunkers, traps etc. for each hole.
Adding additional points is fast and simple. -- Great GPS
Been using it for a year and I love this unit. Sure its not a pretty color unit but it gives me all the information I need and the maps are free and Sonocaddie will map a course for you pretty quick. if you don't want to wait you can easily map a course yourself and even submit it to sonocaddie for others to download. Great unit and well worth the money! -- Love this thing!
I've used the Sonocaddie XV2 for two seasons now both here (New Jersey) and in Myrtle Beach. I had the first generation Skycaddie and returned it after a month because it was unreliable (frequently did not pick up satelites). The SV2 has been great. It always picks up at least 6 satellites and is highly accurate with distances. I rarely have had an experience where I could not find a course in their online database and when I could not, the courses I requested were added quickly. Downloading of courses is a snap and can be done from any PC, which makes traveling easy if you have access to teh Internet.
The unit has never so much as hicupped, though sometimes with a lower amount of satellites it can take a few seconds to 'lock in' your distances. Very light, easy to use and handy with the included belt clip. The unit is powered by regular aaa batteries, which I feel is better than the GPS units you have to charge 'cause you can always carry spare batteries but a 110 volt outlet is rare on a golf course. I get at least a half dozen rounds out of a set of aaa batts. Free course downloads as well (no subscriptions).
The only downside is that the unit can be difficult to read in dim very conditions, though the contrast is adjustable. That said I highly recommend the Sonocaddie SV2. -- Accurate, easy to use, good value.
