What different types of Golf GPS Systems are there avilable and which is the best?
Golf GPS

I am looking to buy a golf gps system and am confused with the types available and what they do. I would also like an opinions on which is the best. Thanks


I use a caddy lite gps.
It costs around £140 and comes with 2 courses free, you can pay for each course or pay an annual subcription.
It gives yardages to hazards, front middle and back of the greens.
You can also use it for practising and it gives your average distance for each club.
It's ideal.

Is there golf gps capability for blackberry pearl cell phones?
LIDAR-Scanhead and camera system

My fiance has a blackberry pearl cell phone and t mobile is his carrier. He wants Golf GPS and heard that it could be hooked up into the cell phone. I was wondering if anyone knows about the whole Golf gps and if there's software or something that could be compatible with the cell phone.


YES

GolfTraxx... Currently works for 88xx, 83xx (curve) and Pearl with the GPS enabled. (Folks at VZN will have to buy an external GPS receiver and bluetooth sync.)

Provides distance to Front, Center and Back of the Green, tee shot target on par 4s and 5s. On courses that are mapped in detail - distance to layup or carry over multiple hazards per hole.

GolfTraxx is community based, meaning all courses are mapped by users. It is FREE when you send in a map of a course they don't have, or you can buy it for 30 bucks. GolfTraxx ALSO has versions for WMobile, Palm OS and Pocket PC operating systems.

Basically, zero cost for an even better experience than you get with the GPS bricks out there. = )

Whats the best Rangefinder or GPS for golf?
rear view of the mapping car

I am thinking about getting a range finder for golf . . .
Do you have to get a membership to skycaddie in order to use it for golf courses?

Also, would you consider a laser rangefinder or a Golf GPS better all around?

Whatever your answer, which do you think is the best laser or GPS on the market?


A) get a GPS much better then a rangefinder (I've had both)
B) SkyCaddie is great & you can map your own courses for free or subscribe to yearly fees
C) I had a Nikon rangefinder & it worked well

Does any one know if I can get a Golf GPS application on my Samsung Instinct? If so, how/where?

I want to get some sort of golf course GPS, but they can get pretty pricey. I see various programs for mobile phones, but I haven't found anything that works on my new Samsung Instinct. Any suggestions?


I think there are some free application at the website below, not sure about a golf gps application.

Are golf GPS units worth the money? Have they lowered your scores?

I've heard mixed opinions on GPS units for golf. Some people say they wouldn't golf without one, and others say they're no better than a novelty item. If you own one, what is your opinion? Has it improved your scores?


I have one and use it regularly.

The good:
If you are stumped for a distance, say from the rough or other place where markers generally aren't placed, it is very helpful. Most courses have decent markings if you are in or near the fairways.

The bad:
1) You become dependent on them and forget how to judge distances for yourself.
2) Your golf buddies will be pestering you constantly. You will be barraged by a stream of "how far am I?" questions. If the distance is inaccurate, it is now YOUR fault. It becomes a real pain in the putter after one or two holes. It can be quite distracting.

Has it lowered my score? Maybe. All it has done is illiminate bad shots based on my misjudging distances. It has not eliminated my bad shots.

Let your golf partner get one and bug him/her instead.
