Swami Golf GPS Rangefinder - Color Display & Scorekeeper

The Izzo Swami 6000 is an outstanding handheld golf GPS device that significantly enhances on-course performance. Preloaded with over 38,000 global course maps, it offers precise distances to the front, center, and back of greens, as well as layup and carry distances to hazards and doglegs. The vibrant 2-inch color display is easy to read, and the integrated magnet allows for convenient attachment to golf carts. With a remarkable 16-hour battery life, the Swami 6000 ensures reliability throughout multiple rounds. Its user-friendly interface and accurate measurements make it an invaluable tool for golfers seeking to improve their game.

The Izzo Swami 6000 works great. It's bright color display has large numbers and is very easy to read, even from yards away or when sitting in the golf cart on the other side. It is accurate and works seamlessly, advancing from hole to hole automatically. It also acquires the course very quickly after you initially turn it on. With the touch of one button you can switch screens and get the distance to, and the distance to go over, hazards on the hole. The battery life is superb and it has a battery life indicator. The magnet on the back holds onto the cart well. The Swami 6000 is small enough and light enough to put into your pocket if you have to walk up to a tee box or if weather conditions dictate "cart path only". As far as I'm conerned this is the perfect little golf GPS. Prior to purchasing the Swami I had the current "version 2" of the leading manufacturer's Golf GPS. It worked fine, but was often difficult to read, especially in bright sunlight. (It has a grey and black screen, not bright color like the Swami.) After purchasing the Swami 6000 I used both of them for a few rounds to compare the distances. They were always within one or two yards of each other. I have since given the other brand's golf GPS away.

I bought this as a backup for other product. I like the large size text. The battery is only good for 1- 2 rounds. I carry an external battery USB charger. Will shut down if no manual input received after two or three holes. thus, I look at coming hole etc. before I get there. Instructions are a little weak. Even the online ones. Go to uTube>

5 stars mainly for the quality of the after sales technical support and customer service. First device was unable to connect to the GPS satellite. Tech support sent instructions for a couple of software tweaks. When those didn’t work, a replacement was sent immediately. The device display is a little retro - e.g. showing partial names of nearby courses (my own club has three individually named 9-hole courses, but those names don’t display - only the club’s name. But not a big issue - just needs a little scrolling to find the correct 1st tee). ps the rear magnet is strong - no worries about falling off the cart

Spot on accurate for front/middle/back for the greens on over 38,000 pre-loaded golf courses! I wouldn’t play a round without having this. No membership. No hidden costs. Really a great product.

2ND UPDATE - COMPLETELY FROZE UP AFTER TWO HOLES! ACTUALLY NOT EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH THE SECOND. NO WAY TO RESET OR EVEN TURN OFF! JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE BATTERY DIES. i REALLY HOPED THIS WOULDN'T BE ANOTHER FLAWED PRODUCT BUT I WAS WRONG. MY LAST REVIEW SAID I WAS GOING TO SELL ON EBAY - NOW IT'S COMPLETELY JUNK! NOTE THE REVIEWS, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! IF YOU GO TO THE IZZO SITE NOTE THAT ALL THE REVIEWS ARE CHERRY-PICKED, NOTHING LESS THAN A FOUR-STAR. IZZO WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS! (Initial review when new) Purchased this to replace my Golf Buddy. The good news is that it pulls up the correct course quickly and it's very accurate. There are two problems - one is that if you want to keep score you need to stay on the green of the hole you just played to enter that information. If you leave the green and approach the next tee box before you record your score it switches to the next hole and there is no way to go back. That's a real problem if you're being rushed or are in the habit of recording your score while waiting to hit on the next tee. I have never been able to complete a round without having to abandon the scoring feature and other players get really peeved if you stand there fiddling with your rangefinder. The other problem is that you can set the device to automatically turn off after about half an hour or stay on. Even though we're moving constantly and I'm checking distances or recording scores it seems to turn off after a couple of hours after setting the device to stay on. UPDATE #1: I changed this to a one-star rating because 1) the third time I used it I couldn't pull up the course I was on (major course in Denver suburb!). I updated the firmware at Izzo suggestion 2) Not being able to enter score once you leave green is a killer. Izzo response was "once you're 40+ yards down fairway you should be able to switch back and enter score"! Are you kidding? I'm focused on my next shot at that point! and 3) It keeps turning off after about six or seven holes. Gonna sell on Ebay.

Great range finder

it has great interface with accurate distance readings. extremely easy to use. magnet is strong. battery lasted very well through long rounds. unfortunately the battery did not last long term, purchased about a year ago after i lost my phantom and decided to try this. as of today, i will plug it in and it says 100% charged but when its actually on it the charge shows probably 40%. died on the 8th hole after having it charging for the night and trying to give it one last go. definitely a great golf gps but quality control issues with the battery make it unreliable and too risky to buy in my opinion.

Battery has poor recharge

Received earlier than the promised date, looks solid and good quality. Haven't used but I think it won't disappoint me.

The first unit I received did not work. From that experience I learnt the following: #1. Amazon’s return policy is simple/easy to follow and worked seamlessly…..full marks. #2. Izzy Support was extremely professional, and although they were unable to repair the unit, they were great to work with…..full marks. The replacement unit was received in record time. The replacement unit is working well. It is simple to use and I enjoy the magnetic function that allows the operator to mount the gps unit where it is easy to view. I did hear about users who left the unit on the cart when leaving in a hurry. I have addressed this concern by using a storage case. I use an old eye glass case, that I put in the cart, with the belief that I will see the empty case and remember to grab the gps unit. We will see. I have found that the batteries last two full rounds before recharging.

Compre el articulo y muy bien, salvo que no trae el campo donde normalmente juego. Les escribi para darles toda la info del campo y despues de varios intentos me respondieron que seguramente saldria en una proxima actualizacion. A 2 años de distancia sigue sin aparecer el campo cuando muchas otros dispositivos de otras marcas ya lo traen, satisfecho con el producto decepcionado con la Empresa.
