Upro Golf GPS System Review

This Upro golf GPS review is of one of the newer golf GPS units to come on the market offering many advantages over its competitors.

One such advantage is that you are not required to pay for annual subscriptions for your Golf GPS maps. Unlike many others on the market that tie you in to a yearly contract.

So how do you get the course data?

Well you purchase it for each course; meaning that you if you don't play on many courses, you can then save yourself a fair amount of cash!

While researching the information for this Upro golf GPS review we were very surprised by its rich feature set.

The Upro GPS is smaller than many of its leading competitors giving you the advantage of not having bulky items on you while taking a swing.

The data for the Upro golf GPS is available in two formats "Basic" and "Pro."

Basic format shows you the hazards that are on the hole you are on, showing you this data in order from where your position is to the green. As with many similar devices it also shows you information relating to the green itself.

In both cases the GPS will give you information telling you the distance to the front, to the back and in the case of the green will show you the distance to the center. Despite the small size of the unit the information is displayed in an easy to view format allowing you to make easy assessments of the hole you are on.

Pro format offers you three different views of your current hole allowing you to plan out the perfect hole.

The three views the Upro golf GPS are:

Video flyover shows you a birds-eye view of the hole you to choose allowing you to plan your shots through to the hole.
Measure, let's you calculate any distance between two points you select.
SmartView gives the user three options of views relative to where the person is at that point in time.

To summarize this Upro Golf GPS Review.

The Upro Golf GPS although being such a small unit, about the size of an iPod! Offers some fantastic features and a very clear display allowing the user to plan out the perfect round.

One of the down sides to this unit is the lack of a scoring storage system although with the many other features that it does have it is a worthy companion on the fairway.
