The latest GPS technology offers players extremely high resolution aerial photographs, such as the Callaway uPro ($399) www.uProgps.com. Most other devices use digital reproductions of each hole. The OnPar ($479) resembles an iPhone and comes with a touch-screen and a virtual “golf bag” which allows you to track how far you hit each club www.OnPargps.com. The Sky Caddie ($399) is the market leader with a database of over 23,000 courses www.skygolf.com.
Other brands worth considering are: Garmin Approach G5 ($499) www.garmin.com and the Sonocaddie V300 ($349) www.sonocaddie.com.
