Same issue here-- it won't load beyond 99% for the sync software.  I have to use a laptop from 2007 to load courses to my original igolf neo.  Ridiculous, man.

Make sure you have Java 6.35 32 bit installed on your computer. If you have a newer version uninstall it and install 6.35. I have it working on all my newer computers now.

Where are you finding 6.35?  I've run a few different searches and haven't come across anything.  :/

The Readme-file says the program need Java and will check for Java version 6 update 13 or later, only problem is Java is now at version 7 and this probably makes the installation halt. So either its badly written code or some major issue so it wont work on latest Java version .Ive tried sending mails to Bushnell about this issue and whats causing it without any answer.

If you uninstall your Java 7 version and install Java 6 from the link in the above post it will work just fine.

When I contacted Bushnell it was mentioned that they knew it worked with Java 6. When I asked more questions I was told they would call me back. I never received that call back. I then realised it would work with Java 6 but as far as an update to the Bushnell program forget it.

Here is the link to Java 6 that I used.

Maybe we should add that Java 6 still get its share updates so its not a forgotten version that wont receive security updates.

That link worked!  Thanks, guys.  I haven't used my new laptop (well, a year old, now) with the igolf neo.  I'll be happy to update the new courses and stuff.

The neo might kick the Leupold outta the bag...  Well, not really.
