IGolf GPS Caddy
In the emerging market for the blending of Golf and GPS, enters the iGolf Caddie. The little unit offers you your current location and with a subscription to the iGolf service (igolf.com) you can download maps of golf courses from around the world, allowing you to know the course layout and the distance to the green from where ever you are.
You can get a reading in yards of how far you are to the front, center, or back of the green as well as seeing all of the hazards in your way such as sand and water traps. If you choose to make your own maps you can designate up to 11 distance markers and 8 additional points for each hole. Another decent feature is that it can learn your shot distance with each club to make club selection even easier.
The device is powered by 2 AA batteries which last for 14 hours of use so you can get at least a couple of games in with each set of batteries. It’s also very small and portable weighing just 6.3 oz with batteries and is 4.62″ X 2.18″ X 1.31″ in dimension. (Looks a lot like a Garmin eTrex, eh?)
Now this is all well and good, but until they take out the 150 yard markers, my game isn’t going to need one of these. I am just not that good!
