I bought this unit because I am a Mac user and when shopping for a GPS this was the only one that touted itself as "Mac compatable." After trying to download the proper software I discovered it wouldn't work because I don't have a Intel-based Mac that will run Parallels Desktop. "...Parallels Desktop allows a user to run a Virtual machine (Guest OS) inside a windowed environment but is only supported under Windows XP..." This is COMPATABLE? Let's talk about available courses. I live in Oregon and SureShot lists a total of 78 courses in Oregon available for download. SkyCaddie lists about 175 Oregon courses and GolfLogix has well over 200. If I could do it all over again, I would buy one of these units which are roughly the same price.
Customer Review: Had some problems but finally got them fixed
The Sureshot device is really nice when it works. User-friendly, well-designed, seems pretty accurate. But it just won't pick up the GPS signals anytime the temperature is below 45 deg F. I tried contacting the company via their "contact us" email several times and got zero response, so I don't know if this is a problem specific to my unit or a general problem with the model. Update: After receiving some excellent company technical support by email I must revise my rating to four stars. Still don'tknow if the cold weather is a problem or not, but I got my unit back to proper function by using a "Recover" option that comes with the PC-based software. Basically reloads the software without wiping out the courses and other details stored in the unit's memory. To reach that point I had to find an emal address in the company website and email directly. That got immediate response. Apparently website "online help/support" submission simply reaches no one. The instruction "manual" (a few pages) is limited and the online help is a bit confusing but by sticking to it I managed solve some problems and the unit is nice again.
