I wonder if that includes fees for mapping out the course on GPS? It still shouldn't be that high. In reality, somebody owns a patent (which might not even hold up in court!) and the litigation costs are higher than the profit potential for another firm to come in and compete.

They had these at La Quinta when I was down there last weekend. The coolest part is they show you the distance to the carts in front of you, so you know when it's OK to hit away. On the other hand, the unit in my cart the second day needed to be rebooted at least twice.

If you extrapolate that to the cost of a cart I guess it can get pretty outrageous. So it sounds like its the typical "gouge" when selling to a golf course.
