New Golf GPS Devices From GolfDigest

GolfDigest is one the top golf magazines; it is chalked full of golf stories, equipment reviews, and golf tips (you know, each month they give you all the surefire tips that promise to take umpteenth strokes off your game). I have no idea how many of those tips I’ve tried; but I do know that if they worked just a fraction of the time, I should now be shooting in the 60′s. Needless to say I’m not.

Of course, I’m just being facetious. Most golf tips are great; and GolfDigest does a great job of helping amateur golfers with their game. But now, instead of giving tips and information to help your golf game, they are offering you two new golf GPS devices: a standalone golf GPS and a smartphone app.

Whistler GLF-100 Golf GPS

This is a very simple golf GPS device (see picture above), not unlike the popular iGolf Neo, that gives only the distances to the front, center, and back of each green. It may not have fancy features like aerial images, video flyovers, or a touchscreen display (it doesn’t even give distances to any of the hazards); but it is much cheaper than SkyCaddie or the Callaway uPro.

Key Features:

• No annual fees or subscription
• Large buttons and display make it easy to use
• Convenient belt clip for easy viewing, operation, and transportation
• High sensitivity GPS antenna
• Stores up to 32 courses
• Can automatically detect location for courses that have been downloaded
• Dimensions: 2.84 in. Lx 1.9 in.W x 0.78 in. H
• Accessories Included: Belt Clip, Mini USB Cable, and AAA Batteries
• Manufacturer’s Limited One-Year Warranty

GolfDigest Mobile Phone App

GolfDigest Mobile Phone Golf GPS

The GolfDigest Mobile Phone Golf GPS works on various phone models used on the AT&T Wireless Network. This is also a fairly simple golf GPS application. The GolfDigest GPS pinpoints your location on a color map of the course and gives you the distance to the front, center and back of the green. As you approach the green, it zooms in to give a closeup view of the hole.

The GolfDigest golf GPS costs $5.99 per month. This price includes access to all available maps.
