    Gps watches/gadgets

    Afternoon all, I am looking at buying a gps watch but wasnt wanting to spend too much. I see american golf have the Garmin G1 for £80 - is it worth it? I was hoping to get one which actually shows a map of the hole so distances to hazards etc. I would appreciate any thoughts/suggestions...
