Many of us will have tried the GPS apps and many of these are very good. I use a Huawei U8850 Vision that I paid £60 or so for along with Freecaddie. Works without the need for a sim card as well. This does mean I can't access map views or download courses without wifi but I still get FMB distances. I could put my sim in and get maps view etc via data but no real need.
Anyway I've seen a few similar (actually more powerful) options recently and though they could be worth a look for anyone that wants a phones cased GPS that is compliant. This means it can happily be used were a local rule for DMD's. Also a handy back-up phone.
Could these provide a low cost GPS solution or would you sooner go for a dedicated device?
A few have caught my eye recently for being in the sub £50 bracket.
