GPS (13)

Models

The GPS models on the least expensive end of the price bracket provide a simple but effective approach to focusing on accurate distance calculations, shot tracking and scoring. These more simplistic versions tend to be high-resolution screens in the form of a black and white display. Depending on the make and model, some provide a premium touch screen display while others operate under the push of a select few buttons. These devices tend to provide an easier interface to operate and is therefore a brilliant option for a golfer who isn’t looking to complicate things and wants a straightforward set of yardages.
Advanced GPS can come in the options of either a compact and smaller sized device or enlarged device with an interactive touch screen display. These GPS include a full colour course mapping feature, perfect for a keen golfer willing to plod their exact route around a choice of thousands of preloaded golf courses. This even includes touch targeting displays which provide the flexibility of gaging a certain yardage from any position on the golf course. Certain GPS also now utilise technology to the maximum and provide a built in portable launch monitor to check swing data such as clubhead speed, ball speed, smash factor, swing tempo and estimated distance.
The continuous increase in popularity of portable golfing simulator devices scoped the idea for high price bracket GPS to include a portable launch monitor. This therefore provides a golfer with instant feedback along with data of how they appeared to be hitting the ball. This ties in perfectly with GPS as they provide further assistance to improve a golfer’s overall game and performance.
