This thing is set for release and THP will be reviewing it soon. Thought since we were talking weather today, it would be cool to put up. We will know how well it works soon.

Pretty cool device by Bushnell. I have the NOAA weather chart for at least five courses set in my favorites now!

Unfortunately for any statewide events i play in weather measuring devices are illegal...are they like that elsewhere?

[Olympicdreams]

It's just a weather forecaster, how are those illegal? Seriously?
Can you listen to the weather radio? Or watch the Weather Channel in the clubhouse? That's all it is.

I like the weather station on my iPhone as well and I don't have to carry another device around with me. Also, I have detailed forecasts available from many internet sites at the touch of a button and it doesn't cost me another $100 to get it.
