The Upro is by far, by FAR, the coolest unit out there. It's not even close. Even just holding the thing you can tell it's in a different league.
But I checked into the "pro-mode" courses, the courses that REALLY utilize all those features, and they have almost NOTHING done around here. Not even the private clubs. So it'd be like paying $400 for an igolf neo. But you're paying for courses.
I would not want to invest in a numbers-only GPS because I want to see the shape and depth of the green. So I'd omit the neo and similar units immediately, because the functionality just doesn't justify the price for the rare occasions my rangefinder can't give me the basic information.
The SkyCaddie seems to be the best "made for golfer" GPS, because it's so accurate, and because of intelligreen. If the Golf Guru has the same green function, then kudos and that unit is worth considering.
The most promising GPS I actually saw was the SonoCaddie. I LOVED the look of the display- it mapped out every hole in the format of a yardage book. You always had yardages to every constant point on the map. If they had more courses mapped, and if the accuracy was better, I'd go that route hands down. LOVED that.
I REALLY want to see the whole hole I'm playing, so I can plan my shots from the teebox. I REALLY want to see how far it is from A to B, then from B to C, etc. But the units that have that capability just aren't prominent enough to have courses mapped out.
