UPDATE 12/30/2011: Couple more rounds under my belt with the unit and I like it even more.

I have the GolfBuddy Tour and wanted to upgrade to World model. The World model is very precise but is very difficult to see in the daylight compared to the other model, its like looking at a mirror. The GulfBuddy World should have the same resolution as the Golf Buddy Tour which is the older model. The World model has alot more features but hard to see because of the screen.
