The uPro Golf GPS is on the leading edge of the GPS market and while it has the functionality that anyone would love it has a few disadvantages that a newer company would have.
Pros
- Video flyover of holes (only available in Pro Mode which is not fully available to every course, but the company has promised according to their website that if the course meets their criteria they will map it for you when you buy this unit)
- Smartview Technology
- Anypoint Technology (allows you to mark distance to any point on the hole)
- Color Screen
- Shows distance to and to clear hazards
- Can hold up to 50 courses (with MicroSD card)
- Rechargeable Battery
- Ability to calculate shot distance
- No membership fee (basic mode is free, pro mode is at a cost per download)
- Windows and Mac Compatible
- 24 Channel GPS
Cons
- Price ($399.99)
- Front, Center and Back distances aren’t marked on main screen with detail
- Software downloads aren’t free (according to the site)
- Course library is lacking at the moment
- Pro mode courses are few and far between
Overview
Although, the uPro Golf GPS unit isn’t cheap the basic mode courses are free to download. The company seems to be looking forward as they are adding voice recognition in 2009. The uPro offers so much versatility with the Pro mode courses by having a video flyover, Smartview and Anypoint Technology.
This is just one unit that currently stands heads and toes above the rest.
