The GolfBuddy Manager (GB Manager) allows you to update the course library in your

GolfBuddy Plus, Pro or Tour GPS Rangefinder. Although the GolfBuddy comes with courses

already pre-loaded into the unit, we are continually updating our course library by adding new

courses and updating our existing ones. The GB Manager allows you to keep your GolfBuddy

GPS unit updated with the latest course data. The GB Manager also allows you to customize

your GolfBuddy by adding custom graphics and logos to your welcome screen, and allows you

to enter your personal information in case your unit is lost or misplaced. It also allows you to

view and track your scores from up to 1000 rounds of golf that you are able to store in your unit.

You can also perform firmware upgrades and module updates as they become available, to

ensure that your unit is functioning at its optimal level. This manual will guide you through the

steps to download the GB Manager, set up a user name and password and will give you

instructions on how to use each function on the GB Manager. If you have any questions, please

feel free to contact our technical support department at [phone] between the hours of

8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. PST, and someone will be happy to assist you.
