Mobile Gadgets: Golfing with GPS
GPS technology is not limited to use in vehicles, on bicycles or while on a jog. Golfers can use GPS technology to find out important information about the course they are golfing on.
Golfers can actual manage their game on the OnPar GPS device. The Touchscreen provides one-touch ability to know exactly where they are on the course, how far they have advanced and how far it is to the next green. No need to carry pen and paper – this device acts as a digital yardage book.
It is important in any game that you are able to record your position and statistical information at any given time in order to improve. The OnPar acts as a score card and a yardage marker as well as a record of stats and targets on up to 300 courses. If the course you like to play is not already on the OnPar, chances are you can download it for free. There are no membership fees involved.
There is nothing wrong with having a hand up on the competition. The OnPar can be your secret weapon and as you can see from the picture above they will probably think that you are looking at your iPhone.
