   The skycaddie is a market leader. I love mine. Very accurate.

   Things to consider include: 1) memory (# of courses the unit will hold at one time which affects how often you may want to reload it) 2) construction/durability/display screen size 3)battery type (built in rechargeable vs. regular alkaline or changeable rechargeable) 4)annual fee 5)company support to change or map courses.

   I purchased and am highly satisfied with the GolfLogix (Garmin) unit. It holds 10 different courses although a 27 hole course may be broken up into 3 memory items which is true on all units. Courses are mapped very accurately including sand and water distances on most holes. It has a large display and is very durable. It uses regular batteries or rechargeable which are easily changed if you should run low even during a round. You can usually play 3 to 4 rounds on new or charged batteries. Annual fee is only $30 vs. $60 on others. The company is very responsive when requesting a course be changed due to layout or newly mapped if unavailable in their data base (2-4 days). Keep your head down & swing hard in case you hit it!

   I use iGolf, and I think it's the best out there. It holds 40 courses at a time, so you don't waste time uploading and downloading course files. It uses 2 AA batteries which last between 3 and 4 rounds. And best of all, they do not require you to pay any fees. If you want to download course files from their database, it is only $29.99/year. But if you want to map courses on your own, you don't have to pay anything. And it's cheaper than all of the others. You can get one on eBay for under $200.

   Get a range finder. Much better than GPS.
