your golf game with the Golf Buddy Pro, a true GPS unit with automatic course and hole

more courses from all over the world.
Review: This is a great device to aid you in deciding what club to use.
It determines distances, by GPS, to center, front and back of greens, front and back of
hazards, etc. You can also keep score with it. It automatically recognizes the course you are
playing (even the hole you are on), as it has 20,000 courses loaded worldwide. The best part
is, there are no annual subscription fees. You can also check what courses are loaded by going

| #2) Callaway
Upro |
|

   
|
Summary: The uPro is a revolutionary
golf GPS device that is visually and technologically superior to all other golf rangefinders.
It was designed to help improve your game by proving superior functionality, yet maintaining
ease of use. The uPro delivers information to you, the golfer, in an unprecedented fashion,
allowing you to quickly get precise distances while also enabling you to see the actual layout
of the hole. You’ll see the game and course from a whole new
perspective.
Review: Like all Golf GPS
devices, the Calloway UPro is intended to provide golfers with range information and in basic
mode, the distance to the green or hazards is displayed in much the same way as many rival GPS
units. Where the UPro distinguishes itself from the pack is through the use of satellite
imagery: In pro mode, the user is given a bird's eye view of the hole and where he is on it.
This, coupled with the ability to measure from current position to any point on the hole, means
the UPro promises unparalleled course management capability in real time. Overall the UPro
delivers on the promise
The Pros: Very accurate
Other advantages:
The Cons:
- Pro View course costs a few dollars
- Sync time on the first download was slow

| #3) Skycaddie
SG5 |
|

  
|
Summary: All SkyCaddie Models use
SkyGolf's proprietary library of professionally mapped golf courses. Maps created with local
Golf Professional permission and input, mapped at ground level with survey grade preceision
equipment.SkyCaddie is the #1 Rangefinder in Golf. SkyCaddie is the ONLY Rangefinder used in
competition on a Professional Tour, and it used by the LPGA Broadcast on Golf Channel and ESPN
telecasts.
Review: Skycaddie speeds up your game
as you don't have to spend time searching for the yardage markers. If you like to
walk, SkyCaddie saves you even more time if you happen to miss the fairway to the opposite
side of the cart paths where the yardage markers are painted. Where SkyCaddie realy shines is
when you stray way off target. When your drive is in the other fairway, SkyCaddie tells you
what you really need to know: no more frustrating calculations based on how far over you are
from your hole's yardage marker
The Pros: Easy to read, easy to use,
durable, all the info you would ever want for your game
Other advantages:
-
Yardages are accurate and fast
-
Color screen is very easy to read in the sun
-
Getting courses added to the unit is easy
The Cons:
- Poor customer service support
- A bit pricey for the downloads
