GolfLogix GPS by Garmin review: affordable and as good as the more expensive units.
Garmin GolfLogix GPS Review
For $249.00 the GolfLogix by Garmin is a great bargain for any avid golfer wanting to improve their game and lower their handicap. It is user friendly and calculates precise distances to the front, center and back of the greens. Furthermore, it points out hazards such as water holes and sand traps using GPS technology. If you are looking to buy this GPS, I highly recommend you buy it online at Amazon here. It is currently on sale for $75 off.
The GolfLogix works with both Windows and Mac operating systems and stores up to 20 courses with more than 21,800 courses available internationally. What this means is that, no matter where you are going, you can have access to the golf course dynamics of your choice at your fingertips.
The GolfLogix features a sleek design and weighs only 3 pounds. It has a 1.25 x 1.25 LCD screen which provides good visibility in sunlight. It is also waterproof and shockproof for those extra harsh days on the green. However, do not expect perfect color views of the golf course as the GolfLogix cannot provide it like some of the more expensive golf caddie GPS devices can. Another thing that can be considered a con to the GolfLogix is that is does not come with a rechargeable battery which means you are stuck using AA batteries.
You can purchase this GPS cheapest at Amazon through this link. You won’t find one cheaper from any retailer, period.
Addons that come with the GolfLogix include a belt bag clip, USB serial cable and AA batteries as well as a 1 year warranty. If you are looking for a simple way to map your golf game, then the GolfLogix is a good choice. However, do not expect the same quality as the big boy caddie GPS systems in the higher price range.
Got the uPro Golf GPS as a gift - completely underestimated it until I used it!
uPro Golf GPS Review
You should never turn down a gift. That should be a rule obeyed by all. I waited four months before I started using my Christmas gift, almost throwing it away. It was a uPro Golf GPS device by Callaway Golf Company, the cell phone like device that is supposed to help you navigate though golf course with ease. Being an obsessive golfer, I looked at this product a while ago, but some negative reviews cooled me off, and my excitement and smiles during Christmas unwrapping were all just part of good acting. Actually that apathetic behavior toward the device lasted until I started to use it.
Sincerely, just taking it with me to golf was more a way to please and quiet my wife and her nagging about buying me stuff that I never use.
First of all I was impressed with aerial shots of the holes on its trans-reflective screen. They looked really nice even under afternoon sunlight. On some occasions when the sun was hitting it hardest, all I had to do to find a good viewing angle was just tilt it.
Measuring mode is just amazing. It lets you calculate exact distances on the hole between any two points. I play with that feature all the time while waiting for my turn. And after I fire a shot, I love to use Mark feature that lets me calculate the length of it. I started to wonder what everyone was complaining about. Well, I heard that the company just upgraded the software, so maybe that fixed bugs people were not happy with before.
Basically, you have to buy a map of the course you play on, download it and install it. Once it is inside the device, it can be used forever without any subscription fees. Single map of a course runs $10, but I loved the device so much I ordered package of 50 courses for only $120.
So now, I have another fully functional toy – Oh, I am sorry, I mean rather sophisticated, high tech GPS device intended to increase productivity…well call it whatever you like. Either way, I win.
