Stuff You Need To Know About Golf Gps Units

Until now, only the very rich and the pros have had their own knowledgeable caddies

. The rest of the golfing world has gone without. But golf GPS Units have come to the rescue. Now you too can know just what is around that dogleg and how far it really is to the pin.

You can choose between the stand-alone models or, if you have a smart phone, a downloadable application, or app. The downloads may be basic range finding and course layouts or packed with most of the bells and whistles the dedicated models contain. And the bells and whistles are almost too numerous to list.

But should you like the idea of a separate, just for golf, gadget then the possibilities are nearly overwhelming. The basics for any model will give you range finding and course layouts. The choice now is how many courses you want available. Also, the basic model may have a color screen but upgrades can have 3D.

Once you have decided on the basics, the fun really begins. Are you a numbers nut? Try the model that will keep score, figure your handicap, show historical data and synchronize with your laptop. If you hate buttons then there are touch screens to ease your anger.

This is just the beginning. Should you happen to play a course that is not already loaded, you could download new courses from the tee with some models. Others allow you to adjust pin placement to fit the current flag position. There are programs for club choice, shot plans and helpful hints.

Just to prove there is almost no limit, the ability to get news updates and equipment reviews is not uncommon. Get real time scoring of tournaments in play while you are out on the links yourself. And it will tell you how to get home as well as navigate the course. That is the beauty of GPS.

Ever found yourself in the water hazard? Then waterproofing is an option to consider. Want to watch a movie while waiting to tee off? Look at photos? No problem. It can play music too. No phone calls though, at least not yet.

There are plenty of things to choose from when it comes to golf GPS Units. You can get them straight or loaded to the hilt. There is a stand-alone model or you might just download a great app. Now, if it could just correct that slice.
