Comments on: What GPS can I buy that I could use both in car and on the golf course? http://www.gpsbuyerguide.com/blog/what-gps-can-i-buy-that-i-could-use-both-in-car-and-on-the-golf-course/ Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:08:02 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Kamikaze Kid http://www.gpsbuyerguide.com/blog/what-gps-can-i-buy-that-i-could-use-both-in-car-and-on-the-golf-course/comment-page-1/#comment-1848 Kamikaze Kid Mon, 13 Apr 2009 07:18:28 +0000 http://www.gpsbuyerguide.com/blog/what-gps-can-i-buy-that-i-could-use-both-in-car-and-on-the-golf-course/#comment-1848 My suggestion is to buy separate devices for each use since the golf caddie (sky caddie) is specifically designed for a golf course and downloadable software for several courses and the navigation GPS for travel (auto) has maps and destination points specific for road navigation. I suggest a Garmin GPS for the auto as they have several handheld and auto mountable models to choose from as well as good customer support and updates. As for the golf GPS I suggest the Sky Caddie SG4 model since it is waterproof and has an SD slot for programmable updates and other options. Plan on spending $350.00 + for each as there's no cheap way out on this if you want quality and reliability. No one likes to be lost or stuck in traffic if they have a GPS that isn't functioning properly or doesn't have the features available because you went the inexpensive route.

Microsoft Pocket Streets (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobilelife/default.mspx)for navigation and Personal GPS Golf System (http://www.golfps.com/) for the golf course.
