As you know a GPS systems or global positioning system, can indicate to you where you are on the face of the earth. They use a space based global navigation satellite system to give reliable positioning, navigation, and timing back to the user. In the case of the golf GPS unit, the golfer will know where they are sitting on the golf course they are playing.

But the golf GPS unit goes a little further than just telling you where you are. It can also tell you where you are in relationship to other features or objects, such as the hole, sand trap or the trees on the right. A good GSP device will also give you yardage. You can simply locate yourself on the course as well as the object or feature your are interested in and the GPS technology in the unit will give you the proper yardage like to the front, the middle or to the back of the green. There is no need to guess at the yardage and now you can quickly choose the right golf club to give you the yardage needed on that particular shot.

Select a GPS unit that fits with your preferences and that is convenient. There are handheld devices, wristwatches and models that fits on your personal golf cart, for example. Some systems will offer advice on which club to use. Most GPS units will allow the user to download golf course information from their computer into the GPS system, making the information accurate and up to date. Remember that many units have a yearly usage fee to access the golf courses. Also be sure to ask about what happens if you don't renew the service. Ask how many courses will stay on the unit if you don't renew. This is important since some units will leave up to ten golf courses on your units and some others will wipe all of them out of your units. Check out if the information they have is updated and how much the new maps will cost. If you like to go to different course ask how extensive the available course maps are.

By taking away all the educated guessing you can trim your golf score as well as the lost time you spend on the course trying to figure out distances and which specific club to use on each shot. You can concentrate more on your swing and performance without all that other clutter.

If you don't want to go over that large tree, how many additional shots will it take to cover the added yardage? A good GSP device will have that answer for you. It's like having a professional caddy at your finger tips.
