Got the uPro Golf GPS as a gift – completely underestimated it until I used it!

uPro Golf GPS Review

You should never turn down a gift. That should be a rule obeyed by all. I waited four months before I started using my Christmas gift, almost throwing it away. It was a uPro Golf GPS device by Callaway Golf Company, the cell phone like device that is supposed to help you navigate though golf course with ease. Being an obsessive golfer, I looked at this product a while ago, but some negative reviews cooled me off, and my excitement and smiles during Christmas unwrapping were all just part of good acting. Actually that apathetic behavior toward the device lasted until I started to use it.

Sincerely, just taking it with me to golf was more a way to please and quiet my wife and her nagging about buying me stuff that I never use.

First of all I was impressed with aerial shots of the holes on its trans-reflective screen. They looked really nice even under afternoon sunlight. On some occasions when the sun was hitting it hardest, all I had to do to find a good viewing angle was just tilt it.

Measuring mode is just amazing. It lets you calculate exact distances on the hole between any two points. I play with that feature all the time while waiting for my turn. And after I fire a shot, I love to use Mark feature that lets me calculate the length of it. I started to wonder what everyone was complaining about. Well, I heard that the company just upgraded the software, so maybe that fixed bugs people were not happy with before.

Basically, you have to buy a map of the course you play on, download it and install it. Once it is inside the device, it can be used forever without any subscription fees. Single map of a course runs $10, but I loved the device so much I ordered package of 50 courses for only $120.

So now, I have another fully functional toy – Oh, I am sorry, I mean rather sophisticated, high tech GPS device intended to increase productivity…well call it whatever you like. Either way, I win.
