I’ve had very few problems until September 2011. But I think they are out of business. They don’t get back to you when you leave them a message and you can’t get on their site to download courses.

I hope someone buys them so they can continue to service their customers.

mine freezes and now won’t come on seems like it doesn’t charge, I get messages, system.InvalidProgramException:InvalidProgramExceptionatSystem.RuntimeType.GetMemberMethod() / this goes on and on.
now ONPAR is going out of business and say I can send it in and get a skycaddie for $200.00. not bad but now I will have $600.00 into a GPS and have to pay an annual fee.

I bought the Onpar off e-bay, from an authorized dealer. No Returns, now I see why. Prior to the purchase, I ask him if I could map my own course, as I live in Thailand.
He said Yes, you can.
However, you cannot map your own course.
Now I have a great looking rangefinder that will not find.
Buyer beware.

My onpar locks up and I have been having problems not being able to go from one hole to the next without reloading my course and going to the next hole. After turning it off in frustration,I was left in the dark concerning yardage. I called onpar service and was informed they have a software problem and didn’t know when it would be fixed and they could not help me and I could not return it. Anyone have any ideas?help!!!!!!!

You can purchase a screen digitizer for the onpar on ebay and try to replace yourself but it is a lot tricky:) and for the price you might want to see if they (onpar) will give you a discount on a new one if you tell them what happened. They offered me on at less than 1/2 price, I no that is not cheap even at half off but trying to repare the screen is again trickey as I did and it works but you must have paitence and some mechnical aptitude.

I have been having problems getting the unit to sync. It will sometimes do it and other times nothing. Adding courses could take several attempts. It says the unit is connected to the pc, and will go throught the sync process but after disconnecting fron the pc no courses have been added:( I have made several calls into support and with every call its try this then do this then do that but no luck. The unit does not say on the screen that it is syncronizing while the pc is in sycn mode. Any body have the same problems? I have done everything the support group suggest so far such as disable firewall, remove software then reinstall. ???????

I am trying to get the unit registered and it won’t even recognise the serial number. Under the support countries it does not even list Uk and am not sure if UK is supported. I bought the unit on EBay so can’t take it back so might be stuck with it.

My OnPar freezes up… sometimes after a couple holes, sometimes after the front 9…but always at some point. It requires a restart and you lose the scoring. But once it freezes, the restart never helps.. as the unit will freeze up immediately.
I’ve called support and was handed off to an answer machine. Received an email with advice. This advice did not work.
