GPS

Thinking of buying a GPS and wondering what's recommended here. Also, does the Sky Caddie purchase include the first years subscription? Thanks.

I have got the Callaway Upro GPS and cannot reccommend it highly enough. It's a great piece of kit and no subscription fees to pay. Although if you want the ProMode then it does cost you per course. Definitely worth £150 for the unit though.

Skycaddie cost does NOT include any subs.
You have to cough up the 30 quid every year.

Thanks to both for replying. Looking at the Golf Buddy now!

Yes, and worse still, it's not like a car sat-nav where you can ignore updating it and still use it, skycaddie is next to useless if you don't decide to stump up the cash.

I like my skycaddie, but it's turning us users into slaves somewhat.

I honestly think I'm on the cusp of stopping using mine altogether.
I've got the Laser as well now and I look at that instead. I can get a reading from almost anything. THere's hardly a spot on my course where you can't get line of sight to the green or something around it.

Would love first refusal if you decide to sell

Garmin S1 here. Very simple very small and suits me down to the ground.

Upro are great but check their site first. I had a deal done at 135 brand new but 4 of my locals were not mapped yet. I spoke to upro's uk office and they couldn't promise mr they would be dobd within 6 months. For this reason it was useless.

The sonocaddie seems to come with good reviews. All the features of the upro in pro mode but no subs to pay at all. If I had to get one I'd opt for this route and toucan check if your courses are mapped online too

MyCaddie Iphone App for me whilst I save up for the Garmin Watch. Love how simple it is - to set up, wear and use. Also like the lack of subs required too

seems teh garmins are becoming popular, hopefully this will see costs drop as its pretty basic compared with other units, Noticed this weekend AG are doing sky caddies 2.5 for 149.00 which i thought was cheap.
