Bought this for my husband for father's day. I liked the fact that there is no annual fee however, we learned quickly that they may not be a good thing. My father has the golf caddy and can down load any golf course. The two of them went golfing and the Garmin only had one or two VT golf courses listed. It boasts of having over 10,000 courses but, it doesn't appear to have the course we need. They golfed in RI and ran into the same thing. So before you buy just make sure the golf course you will be playing at are offered. Otherwise all the features are fantastic but, it may not be worth forfeiting the annual fee for the ease of not having to download the courses prior to playing.
