Yes it does but it can take awhile sometimes to find the course! Don't know why my GB pro finds it faster!

When you turn on the unit and press "play Golf" it finds any courses they have mapped nearby. So if the skycaddie web site lists it as a course - the Gimme will find it and display it. The course you ask about is on their list - so it will be displayed. You never actually load or preload a course yourself.

Go to the golf buddy site and update your Platinum GPS software. I do this to keep current as they do add new courses quite often.

No. All the courses I've played so far have been in the memory. There's also an on-line site for any missing ones

Sorry Larry, that is well above my level of GPS knowledge. All I can say is that I hate this GPS. Even when I update the maps it often doesn't have things that have been around for quite awhile and aren't obscure places. One thing it doesn't have which I really miss is to filter for a particular type of restaurant (Thai, Mexican, eg.). It will only show all restaurants in a two mile radius of where you are. I wish I'd stayed with Garmin despite its own pitfalls.

No, GAMEGOLF uses GPS. All you're doing is "tapping" locations of shots. GAMEGOLF does the rest. It's pretty cool. And the customer service is great!

My Golf Buddy has at least 35,000 courses pre-installed. I have yet to play a course that was not available on the GPS.

there is a full course listing on the website which is admittedly frustrating to navigate and the weakest piece of the puzzle. Fortunately you don't need it much. There are over 40,000 courses loaded so the odds are very high that yours is on there. I only have 1 that is not available and it's a really small par 3 $8 course so it doesn't matter. There are a couple more in the middle of nowhere that don't have pro mode but I still have front middle back yardages to the green and most hazards are marked in basic so it's not the end of the world.

I like it much better. I have a lot of friends that have Garmin. They seem to be limited to some courses which I have been able to receive on the Bushnell

almost all courses are loaded. (40,000) Just show up at a course and turn it on. It will tell you if located.

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.

Yes it is listed, however, I had several courses listed and when I arrived at those golf clubs it would not pick up the course. I was also unable to update, because of my security system.

I bought a refurbished unit and it comes preloaded with thousands of golf courses. Once you charge the battery you simply select the state/province the course is in and type the name of the course. The unit is retard proof, which is one of the reasons I bought it.

Mine did. But I would not recommend purchasing this item. Callaway will not be supporting this GPS after December. If you play the same course all of the time, then it would be OK, but don't expect to add any new courses in the future.

Make sure the GPS is charged. Press the top button and you will see go play. You will then have to chose the Country, the State and scroll down the alphabets to the course you are playing. Once you have the correct course on the screen then press that course and it will come up. This GPS system is a little more complicated than some others however I am counting on Callaway to stand by their product if there is a flaw with the product. Golf Buddy which I had before the Calloway GPS did not stand by their product so I changed and I am happy that I did. When on the first tee press the top mode button on the right not the lower mode button. Make sure the GPS is charged. Press the top button and you will see go play.

Turn on golf buddy using upper right hand button when on golf course. Seven sattelites will search and locate course you are on and will give you hole # and distance to back, middle and front of green. You need to do nothing else.

what is the question? I used the Swami for 2 seasons; it stopped holding a charge. I now use the Golf Logix app for my "Iphone". It works great, it's free with advertising popping up or for a payment of $19.95 the ads are eliminated. I use it only for distances; but it will track anything you could possibly want.
