Hello all,
I generally do not need a GPS device for golf given that I play over 95% of 60-70 rounds at just one club. When I do travel, I can see the usefulness of a GPS device. The best one that I have seen so far is Callaway uPro. It seems like a waste and a hassle to carry another device given that I have a perfectly capable GPS device, my Android based phone (Motorola Atrix).
There are number of software based apps but I have not found any that is nearly as good as the uPro.
When I travel for golf it is often in areas that require data roaming charges (U.S. or Europe) so it would be good to have an app that allowed downloading of course maps prior to leaving for the destination.
I have poked around the Internet but I have not found anything suitable. Do you know of any apps that have great graphics (not just google satellite view), and store data on the phone?
Thanks.
PS: do not buy the current version of uPro that is now on sale for $228 at Golftown. A newer touch screen version is coming out in May and it priced at $199.
