Callaway Golf GPS upro mx

With an estimated 100 million plus golf players worldwide it is not surprising that golf gadgets are being designed to try and help players improve their handicap (is that the right phrase?, please leave a comment and correct me if not).  Having played only a few rounds of golf before and swung a club at the driving range, my knowledge and ability to play golf leads a lot to be desired. However, I can spot a gadget that would help my game when I want to.

Today’s golf gadget is called Callaway upro mx, which is an improved golf GPS system from its original.  Let’s just explore the uses of the GPS for golf before going into the features.  Firstly using the GPS will allow an accurate determination of distances from current ball lay to the flag, from this data the correct club can be selected. Secondly, some holes may have hidden hazards that may not be seen from a current position, the GPS can help you identify these positions and avoid them. The benefits of the two features are that it reduces risk and guesswork from the player, leaving them to concentrate on just swinging the club.

The Callaway upro MX is really easy to use. Utilizing modern day technology the upro MX has a full color Multi-Gesture 2.2” Touch Screen display correlated to Optical Finger Navigation technology to easily navigate the menus and data contained within its memory. Specific data includes high resolution aerial images of golf courses only ever seen before on TV during official tournaments.

A further feature to this golf gadget which makes it a must for up and coming golfers is its pre-loaded extensive database of golf courses of which there is more than 25,000.
