subject: Get Less Rough Luck With Golf Gps [print this page] Have you ever got lost on a golf course? Do you want the quickest route to the green and avoid all potential obstacles? Then you could benefit from golf gps units.

Some units are cart mounted and work in a similar fashion to satellite navigation in a car. This may save money for the golfer as they are only needed for that particular cart for that course. Unfortunately it also means that the unit is not removable and therefore the measurements are only specific to where the cart is, not where you are and this means they will not be perfectly accurate.
