Take a look at the Sonocaddie V100 GPS Unit, if you’re looking for a golf GPS that’s not going to break the bank, but which will give you the information you need. The Sonocaddie might look like a budget golf GPS, but it’s really not. Alright, alright! It doesn’t have the fancy graphics of a Callaway uPro or a Garmin Approach. But it still probably has all the technology you need, if you don’t need to actually “see” the course ahead of you as you play.

After all, it’s the graphics that separates the $350 to $400 models from the $150 to $250 models. And the Sonocaddie V100 GPS Unit can do everything…except the fancy graphics.

It can show you the distance to the green. It can also show you distances to various way points that you input, yourself. It can tell you the distance of your last shot, and also has personalized target setting.

That’s on the plus side. On the minus size, the Sonocaddie V100 GPS Unit, is somewhat of a clunker. By that I mean, it’s a little bigger and heavier than some of the newer, sleeker golf GPS devices. Now, it’s not big and it’s not heavy, just a little less sleek than some of the other more expensive models.

There’s something to be said for being bigger, though! Bigger means more real estate for the screen, and after all, that’s what you

One of the premier golf GPS devices on the market is the Sonocaddie V300 Color Golf GPS. It’s not the market leader, but still the Sonocaddie might easily be the right choice for you, if you’re in the market for a golf GPS. It’s got tons of features. Holds information on plenty of courses, can keep score and also give you a historical readout of past scores, can figure out the distance of your last shot, and finally it can group shots together for great analysis.

The Sonocaddie V300 Color Golf GPS has really nice graphics. Especially when you consider that the device can fit into your palm. With the Sonocaddie you get a full graphic view of the whole course, not just the green. This is very helpful in planning your approach, especially if you’re on an unfamiliar course.

The V300 locks into its satellite signal rapidly. According to the manufacturer, it’s one of the fastest lock-ins on the market.

One of the best features of the Sonocaddie to my mind is the fact you can use it to map hazards and other waypoints. It will store this information so you can use it next time you play that particular course.

One of the cons of the Sonocaddie is that not all courses are mapped. That’s not just Sonocaddie. That’s all golf GPS manufacturers. The deal here is you want to know how responsive a particular manufacturer would be to putting your course in their data. The maker of Sonocaddie is reported to be very responsive.

All in all the Sonocaddie V300 Color Golf GPS is certainly one of the front runners in its price range.
