GolfBuddy is another Golf GPS system that promises to improve you Golf game. GolfBuddy Designers obviously focused on portability since the units dimensions are 5.3cm X 8.2cm X 2.6cm and it weights just 85gr (without the batteries). It’s small size obviously limits the screen real estate, so the unit features a 128X64 pixel / Mono LCD which to be honest from the pictures seems more than enough. Like most GPS Golf aids it will calculate for you the distances to the front, back and center of the Green as well as yardage to custom points including hazards, bunkers and lay-up points. The unit features an 8 channel GPS receiver that according to the manufacturer provides an accuracy of 1~3 Yard 90% of the time. GolfBuddy can hold information for up to 60 golf courses that you can transfer to the device from your PC using a serial cable. The course data can be downloaded from the company’s site providing that you have bought one of the yearly subscriptions. The prices for the subscriptions range from $24.95/yr to $54.95/yr. The unit is currently available in the USA from GolfBuddy’s site with a price of $274.99. Along with the unit inside the box you will find a belt clip a data cable and the manual.
