Callaway sells the u Pro Golf GPS, which is the top of the line golf rangefinder. Actually it’s much more than a rangefinder. The u Pro golf GPS can not only tell you how far you are from hazards and the green, it can give you a flyover view of the whole course. Not only that, but you can also use the u Pro golf GPS to help you plan your next shot.
Currently the u Pro sells for over $300. To some that’s a lot of money, even if you’re an avid golfer. Is the u Pro worth it? Is it actually the best golf GPS on the market? Well, to help you decide that, we’re going to be looking more closely at what the u Pro can do.

State of the Art Technology

The u Pro golf GPS is without doubt the most technologically advanced golf GPS on the market. As stated, it’s much more than a GPS. It uses global positioning system technology to give you a ton of information about the course up ahead of you and where you are on the course. Using very high-tech aerial and satellite imaging technology, the u Pro can give you an “intelligent” view of the course ahead of you. It can actually help you plan your next shot. This is called “SmartView” technology.
In addition, the u Pro golf GPS can give you distances to the green from wherever you happen to be on the course, using their “AnyPoint” technology. Also, the u Pro comes with basic and pro modes. The pro mode allows you to look at the course from a bird’s-eye view, and shows you 100, 150, and 200 yard marks to the green.

Easy to See Screen

The u Pro golf GPS has a very high resolution screen. Although it’s only a 2.2 inch, 320 x 240 pixel, screen, it can be seen in virtually all outdoor conditions. You might have to angle the screen some to get the view you want when in direct sunlight, but even then the u Pro GPS Is light years ahead of its nearest competitor.

Easy to Use

The u Pro golf GPS easily slips into your pocket or you can wear it on your belt. It’s small enough and sleek enough so that you’ll never know it’s there. It definitely won’t interfere with your swing. All GPS devices, whether for golf or the car, need some time to lock into the satellite global positioning system. The u Pro has one of the fastest, if not the fastest, lock-in times of any golf GPS on the market. Turn it on when you park your car, and by the time you go through the clubhouse and get ready to tee off, the u Pro will be locked in and will be already showing you an aerial view of the course in front of you.
