How long is the battery life ?
The battery life is greater than 4.5 hours with the back light on full brightness. Under normal operating conditions (eg playing a round of golf) the battery life would typically be 7+ hours.

How accurate is the sureshotGPS?
All Tee2Green professionally mapped courses use a highly sophisticated and accurate DGPS receiver to map the course and hazard points. The accuracy obtained in this mapping process is typically 10 to 20 cm. The sureshotgps uses the latest in GPS technology to obtain the best possible accuracy under all conditions. Together with the highly accurate mapping of the courses the typical error is in the order of 1 to 3 m. However, there are a number of circumstances that can increase the error. If the sureshotgps does not have a clear view of the sky then accuracy can be degraded. Also there are rare occasions when there is a "bad" alignment of the gps satellites. This can also reduce accuracy for a short period of time. In this circumstance accuracy can degrade by a few metres. So for best possible results make sure that the sureshotgps has an unrestricted view of the sky and that the user takes out an annual subscription to enable access to the Tee2Green professionally mapped courses.

Is sureshotgps easy to use?
The sureshotgps has been designed specifically for the golfer and is therefore simple in its operation. There are multiple levels of operation and the player decides on the level required. The simplest level gives distances to the pin or recorded hazards and requires the press of one button at the start of each hole. If more information is required or recorded then the player can choose a higher level of operation and this can require the pressing of additional easy to use function keys. Whatever level is chosen operation is easy.

Is using a GPS distance device during a round of golf a violation playing regulations?
Many golf courses already have GPS devices installed in their golf carts. sureshotgps is a handheld GPS device that can be taken by the player to any course. Local rules need to be checked before using the device in competitions.

What is the advantage of using sureshotgps over a laser rangefinder?
With the sureshotgps you can determine the distance to objects that are not in your line of sight. GPS can provide you with distances any where on the course that may be difficult to get with lasers. With GPS you can see those distances immediately. Also, by using sureshotgps you don't have problems with overshooting a target or having to hold the device steady for accurate readings.
