Not sure but the one I bought can be worn on the wrist. I liked it because it's simple to use and can be attached to the bag. The other may have more features but I didn't want anything complicated

I just got the 3790T. I was driving and my wife activated the GPS from the passenger seat. You need to pronounce the phrase like the GPS does. When you input one, it will repeat it back toy ou. I think it works great. I chose "CAPTAIN KIRK" because it had a good 'voice' strength of 80 and the GPS seems to recognize it even when softly talking to it. I mentioned the word to my wife in a conversation and the GPS 'heard' it and switched to Voice Mode.

I don't know the difference but I was not able to get this device working at all. I pitched mine in the trash after trying to get it working with the software for weeks.

Hello Kim, I have had the Garmin S1 for several weeks now and have enjoyed using it. It has helped my game and gives me all that I need - accurate yardage to the front, center and back of the green. I am about a 17 handicap golfer and I do not need the additional features of the S2 and S3 which provide more information to include distance to hazards on the S3. The S2 is maybe $70 to $80 more than the S1 and the S3 maybe another $100. I need glasses to read the small print and appreciate the S1 with the large display of numbers. I could not effectively use the other models without putting on my reading glasses which I do not want to do while playing golf. I hope that helps - Have fun - Jack

I found a GARMIN GPS III PLUS (can be found on AMAZON usually used but sometimes someone has a new one) to be perfect on my quad. It provides features not found in combination on any GPS currently in production that I have found. I won't go thru all the features here as there are so many, but for me, it provides everything I could want in exploring remote areas of AZ except a gas gauge for the quad! Mine is clamped to the handlebars and runs off vehicle power so no battery life problems. Check one out and save yourself a lot of money while getting the capabilities a new one can't provide.

For the price difference, I opted to do without. However, take along an old fashioned "analog" compass with you. They can be purchased from any sporting goods store for ten bucks or less. (Never go without a compass in the bush. Batteries have been known to expire when out int he field, then your GPS will be worthless.)

Are you asking about front, middle and back or how do you see how far your drive or iron shot was? Once GPS shows course it should automaticaly show the front, middle and back. To check distance for driver or iron shots, push the small button at bottom of GPS to left where says set, then hit whatever and go to the ball. It should give you that distance. Hope this helped, I love mine.

Yes, the good thing about Golf Buddy is that you are able to skip any holes as you want. Your location will be automatically adjusted, base on each hole that you are on, (and the specific golf course that you are playing in). The only negative that I would say about Golf Buddy GPS is it has a very poor screen resolution. Reza S.

No, it's probably not defective...1) Voice with Text-To-Speech (TTS): under Settings, go to Language, then click a choice for Voice -- make sure it's someone with English (e.g. American English-Jack) who also has the "(TTS)" tag. This will enable speech with street names.2) Exchange rates: you should update the rates manually. I suspect the exchange rates weren't a big priority for the Garmin folks.For more help with questions, the GPS itself has a Help button (next to Settings) that should answer some basic issues.Hope this is helpful.

The hybrid range finder is good for 2-3 rounds of golf depending on wether you use the GPS. Anyway, if you don't have it charged up and the battery dies you our out of luck. Unlike some other units, its an internal battery you can't swap out easily. That said, its not a must have item.

I do a lot of geocaching and the XGPS150 works great. The navagation program I mostly use is called copilot and it does have voice directions but I don't think that has anything to do with the XGPS150 but with the program. I have not tried it with google maps but again that would depend on if google maps supports voice directions. I am using it with 2 different iPads, a 2 and a mini and it works great on both. Not sure if this will help you or not but I hope so. PS, I am using iOS7.1

Hello Bassam, I've been "battling" with NewerStone over this and voice navigation (which my unit doesn't seem to have) for several weeks now. If and when I get a response, I'll let you know. Since they advertise these 2 features on Amazon.com, I've notified Amazon of this matter. You might want to do this, as well.

I'm not sure about specific differences but my husband bought the s1 for me because I wanted something that simply gave me the distance to the hole. I think the s3 probably will tell you about distance to various hazards. This GPS is handy because it is always with you - you don't have to go back to your cart or drive the cart across the fairway in order to get a reading. His GPS gives readings to some of the hazards - so I can ask if I need that information. Don't know if that helped - I guess you just need to think about what info you need. If I was a better golfer I might want more bells and whistles, but right now I am content with my s1.

I personally wouldn't pay the extra $200. I actually bought the Optishot for myself for Christmas from Amazon for $199.95. I registered it and got the Optishot 2 software upgrade for free. Please read the comments in this forum. It may help you decide. http://forum.ottawagolf.com/showthread.php?79358-Optishot-2 . I believe this was the best investment for my golf game.

On my S4, that's the way it works. There's also an app you can install, that's adds some more customization to the voice and other features. You don't need the app for GPS, however.

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.
