Sureshot 8800 GPS review
The Sureshot 8800 GPS device is a full-colour screen system that is accurate to within one yard and measures distances to the back, front and middle of green as well as hazards. The device also allows you to record your statistics during the round, including fairways hit, greens in regulation, sand saves and driving distances. You receive three free course downloads when you purchase the unit and then membership starts at £19.95 for ten courses.
This distance-measuring device is an easy-to-follow design that takes surprisingly little time to enter your statistics while out on the course. Signing up to the SureShot site and downloading courses is extremely straightforward. The shape of the unit made it seem a little bulkier than others, particularly when attached to a carry bag.

What happens at the end of the year if you decide not to renew your subscription with these GPS devices? Do you lose the maps and the GPS signal?

Gregg, the answer is no. However, you just won't be able to upload any new ones. Regards.
