uPro Golf GPS by Callaway Golf

I've played about 30-35 rounds with the device so far, and I've decided to switch back to my sky caddie. The uPro would sometimes take as many as 10 minutes to make itself ready for use, determining what course we were playing, etc. Many times I would need to reboot it at least once when it got hung-up after being turned on. Probably 10-12 of my rounds involved re-calibrating the device from a fixed point on the golf course because the indicated distances were off by 10 yards or so. The automatic hole advance feature was terrible and I had to turn it off because it put us on the next hole too soon. I will say that once the uPro was on, calibrated, and indicating the correct hole, it worked as advertised and was very accurate, but there were just too many small problems to deal with.

Had another brand before this. Haveing a GPS that holds lots of coarse is a big plus. I play lots of coarse's with blind shot. The fly over is a great option. Had to call there help line for I have a Mac. The spoke English very clear and were super to help me out. They have there act together.

I've owned the upro for 3 months now and really love it. Those who elect to purchase one need to be aware of the battery drain issue. If you don't use it, make sure you charge it before you play. Even if you charged it after your last round of golf, it will be dead when you pull it out if it sat for more than a few days.

I've owned a SkyCaddie SG3 for some time and, weary of its annual fees, glacial operating speed, and pedestrian display, I decided to go color. I purchased the Garmin Approach G5, but its display is very difficult to see in normal outdoor conditions. So I also purchased the Callaway uPro. I played an entire round on my home course, with all three GPS units mounted on the cart. My findings: Build quality: All three units are rugged, with great fit-and-finish. The Garmin gets the nod, because it's waterproof. The Callaway is water-resistant, and you can purchase a watertight skin for an outrageous $24.99 to protect it further. The SkyCaddie is not recommended for use in the rain. Size: The Callaway uPro is the smallest and thinnest, about the size of an LG Chocolate phone. The SG3 is similar height and width to the uPro, but much thicker and heavier. The biggest of all is the Garmin, the size of an iPhone and four times as thick. It's wide, heavy, and not good for the pocket. A... Read more
