I recently upgraded my Sonocaddie to the latest version, the V500. For those of you that don’t know, it is a golf GPS system that gives you distances to each and every hole. GPS is such a useful tool that everybody, whether they are riding bicycles, running, or just taking part in an activity, they are be able to use these days to monitor the path that they are following or their route and it is highly effective.
The only problem in this particular case was precisely how complex it was to set up the system. I am no fool when it comes to computers, and it took me well over an hour to attend to it, so I would imagine that a number of people with perhaps less experience in computers would actually have to give up and call somebody else. The website is particularly unfriendly and you have to register, load up credit card details and then, using a hand-held device, where it is incredibly easy to press the wrong letters on a minute screen, you then have to load up golf courses, one by one. I would be really preferable, given that you have to connect to the Internet to do this, to do it via the Internet and not to then, as I did, have to do it via the touch screen panel.
