Review of the Callaway uPro Golf GPS
The many golf GPS units available today eliminate the need of hiring an expert caddie to help you with determining your hole distance and with the various course targets. They help in providing data like basic distance to the hole data and the location of targets and hazards. The Callaway uPro Golf GPS is one such golf GPS unit.
The Callaway uPro Golf GPS offers an easy to understand graphics display of all the possible golf hazards on a course like sand traps and bunkers. It also helps display your present location on the golf course through its large, 2.2″ high resolution, 320 x 240 color screen.
It is its high resolution screen that makes it easy to view displays outdoors, in bright sunlight. In fact, this GPS unit comes with a transflective screen that provides optimal bright sunlight viewing, when the sun directly shines on the screen, at specific angles.
The SmartView technology of the uPro Golf GPS gives you all the information you will need about your next potential shot through an aerial view perspective. Its AnyPoint technology helps you measure all points found on the course. Its GPS and aerial and satellite photography provides you with full color information of its thousands of courses in its database.
This unit is the thinner, lightest and sleekest unit found on the market, which snugly fits in the pocket or belt without obstructing your swing in any way. It is this feature that makes the uPro Golf GPS stand apart from other GPS units.
The technology used in the uPro gives you an automatically sorted list of all the golf courses found in your nearest vicinity. It also plays a video flyover of each hole you approach, including highlighted yardage lines.
You can watch a video demonstration of this unit here: uPro Golf GPS

For use on the trail as well as on the golf course.
I own a nuvi 360 for the car, trying to find a good Garmin for the trail or golf course.
Maybe check out Magellan I have a explorist 600, it is a pretty nice unit right around $300.
My husband is addicted to golf . . . he already has three sets of clubs, shoes, carts, memberships, played fantasy golf . . . but what might he not have yet . . . I’m looking for a gift . . . someone told me there was a GPS system of sorts for golf courses which gave you a computerized overview of your shot . . . Is this even true . . . If not, what else is there . . . ? Will Wii have a golf game soon . . .
Yes GPS are all the rage and a great gift.
Can I be your husband?

Should i buy a rangefinder or a gps system for judging distances on the golf course?
Posted by admin
It all boils down to personal choice.
I bought a GPS a few months ago and I am absolutely thrilled with it.
I got the Skycaddie 2.5 which I chose after looking at heaps of models.
I just wish I had done it years ago as it has helped me so much not only with knowing the distances to targets but more importantly for me exactly how far I hit each club. It has been worth at least 4 shots a round to me.
Hi, i was going to purchase the golf gps system but i got a little confused. If anyone has bought this product please could they help me. When you buy the software do you get the handset with it?
please help
thanks
I can’t find anything on the website that suggests otherwise, unless you get the GolfAid Mobile.
