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

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.
