Iphone for GPS and golf… How good is this function and do you have pointers?
Thanks… live in LA.
Check out GolfTraxx – LA is a REALLY large geographic area, so the answer is that they have many courses mapped within a region, but just how close to you depends on where you live.
IF your favorite courses are not mapped they provide a way to map the course and send it in. You don’t map on course – you use Google Earth and send in a KML file based on their instructions. Takes 15 minutes when you know the course and know how to move in Google Earth. I’ve mapped a lot of courses, and can bang them out pretty quick.
On course IT IS GREAT! Serious eye-candy AND if you keep it under wraps, you can take a few skins off your foursome.
I am going to be buying a golf GPS range finder in the next couple of weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which one would be best for me. I play twice a week and am a 10 handicap. I will only be palying 2-3 courses in the Southern Cal area. I need to get the yardage right.
I use the iGolf GPS device. It’s cheaper than SkyCaddie, and you don’t have to pay any monthly fees. Also, GPS course files are downloaded straight to your computer, unlike SkyCaddie where you have to pay to keep the files on their website. I love mine and use it all the time.
Where can I find reviews that compare the best golf GPS devices?
Critical Golf does a great job of providing unbiased reviews and head-to-head comparisons of GPS devices. They rate each device on categories like the available features, how easy it is to set-up the device, course coverage, ease-of-use, and value.
The golf GPS devices they review include the SkyCaddie, Callaway uPro, Garmin Approach G5, GolfBuddy Tour, OnPar, Sonocaddie, Golf Guru and others.
