At last I cried when they sent me the 4.0 link.This very day I attempted to download 1 additional course, this was refused as up popped a message,you have more than the allowed maximum of 50 courses, news to me, in fact I have 33 courses. Sent message to the USA, can take up to 5 working days for a reply. Do I just count my loss by binning the damned thing?? Does anybody out there know how to correct the time?? your help would be appreciated.

Can't seem to find any answers. Probably played 30 rounds and spent $300 brand new. Do not buy this product. Can't seem to get any help or answers from anyone as to why the unit will not work either. Absolutely terrible product. Upro Go just quit working for no reason. Can’t seem to find any answers. Probably played 30 rounds and spent $300 brand new. Do not buy this product.

I'll throw it in the junk drawer and dispose of it in a few years.  No more Callaway products period.

I bought my first one and it was dead on arrival.  I did get the the first one replaced and the 2nd I had to reload all the courses.  9 months after buying the unit, it is dead and acting exactly like the 1st one I received.  My GPS just stop taking a charge and I tried a new battery as well as a different charger.  GPS is dead, and 0 contact from tech support.  I'm not happy at all!

After syncing I received a "corrupted file" message for the regularly played course. Several calls over the LAST FIVE MONTHS to the help desk has produced replies such as "we know about it and it will be fixed in a few months or maybe next year" and the latest a week ago "it has been corrected but it will take two more months" what nonsense, a decent unit receives no stars for this performance.
