When i bought my izzo as part of the advertisement for the product it showed on the web site an ac charger that was I thought part of the cost. Got the izzo and holder but not the ac charger.
Wrote to web site and asked why i did not receive the charger and never got an answer.
So at this point i am not at alll satisfied. Still need and answer!!
It does however work very well. Just don’t like the false advertising.

Best GPS unit for the money; have used it on 5 different courses, yardages are right on with Sky Caddie and others that my buddies own. Downside: You have to remember to advance the unit to the next hole (it does not do it automatically). Even without knowing this I would still purchase this unit. P.S. The company’s customer service is definitely the best (they answer e-mails and do everything they can to enhance the product).

The GPS works pretty well. If all you need is distance to the flag then you should be fine with this. No bells or whistles just yardage to the front, center or back.

I’d give it 5 stars except it’s not perfect. BUT, it’s very good with what matters, yardage accuracy and course availability. I’ve used the IZZO for about 6 months on 25+ courses in Florida and Pennsylvania. No problem loading the courses (even obscure 9 hole course) and accuracy has been 95% solid. I used it 3 days in a row (two 18′s and a 9)without recharging. If you’re not looking for a highly detailed display and don’t want to spend high dollar, this is highly recommended.
