The following is a list of GPS web-sites:  SkyCaddie ($430) at www.skygolfgps.com ,  Golf Buddy Tour ($430) at www.golfbuddy.ca.com, Golf Logix GPS 8 ($300) at www.golfgps.com, iGolf Neo ($150) at www.igolf.com, Sonocaddie V300 ($400) at www.sonocaddie.com and uPro ($400) at www.uprogps.com.

Under the USGA. Rules, GPS systems are legal under local rules (determined by each golf course), however, they are not allowed in tournament play.
