The Golf Buddy Platinum GPS
It seems as though these days there are so many golf products and GPS systems on the market that finding one that suits what you need it for can be quite difficult. Add into this that many GPS systems requires a subscription to keep the courses stored on it up to date and you have a recipe for confusion.
One product that does seem to stand out this year is the World Platinum by Golfbuddy that has a lot of features that are previous only known on the rally high top end GPS’s such as Garmin. Unlike a lot of other golf GPS’s, it does not require the costly subscription fees to keep it updated – once you buy the product, it will auto-update itself for the rest of the time that you own it. Now, that has got to be music to someone’s ears – especially those who don’t have as much funds in the old wallet this year due to the climate.
It comes with over 30,000 courses, which is quite close to the number of golf courses that there are in the world, so the memory on this thing really is quite substantial.The screen is the main talking point however, with a crystal clear display and an ultra high resolution that makes each detail a pleasure to see on the screen. You can see sand traps, water, and all other hazards on the course easily.
One thing that is always something of an issue with these GPS systems is the issue of battery life. The batteries never seem to last that long. Luckily, the World Platinum seems to be pretty good, with over 11 hours of battery life from the unit without having to recharge, which is more than enough for a round of golf. Overall, the Golf BuddyWorld Platinum GPS is an interesting take on a golf GPS, and it manages to be something desirable in a busy market. Check it out now.
