		SCORE (1 – 100)	GRADE
	Callaway uPro A beautiful interface, the ability to determine distances to any point on the course, and video flyover previews of each hole, all packaged into one of the lightest and smallest devices tested, make the uPro the leader of the pack. Retail price: $399.99 plus per course fees (ProMode) Three year total cost: $449.99 Amazon.com price: Check price now Golfsmith price: Check price now Read full review	92	A-
	Garmin Approach G5 Intuitive touchscreen interface, the ability to determine the distance to any point on the hole, and ready to go out of the box (just add AA batteries). A bit expensive, but we think it may be worth it. Better course coverage would be the icing on the cake. Retail price: $449.99 Three year total cost: $449.99 Amazon.com price: Check price now Read full review	91	A-
	Bushnell Neo (formerly iGolf Neo) Our vote for best value in a golf GPS device, the Bushnell Neo provides simple functionality, but does it in a user-friendly design and at an extremely affordable price. Retail price: $149.99 Three year total cost: $254.96 Amazon.com price: Check price now Golfsmith price: Check price now Read full review	91	A-
	GolfBuddy Tour Features best-in-class setup (just charge and go), and makes it simple to map out courses on your own or add targets to existing courses. There is below-average availability of courses, and those available often provide fewer marked obstacles than desired. Retail price: $349.99 Three year total cost: $349.99 Amazon.com price: Check price now Read full review	89	B+
	OnPar Touchscreen GPS One of the newest entrants in the field, sporting an iPhone-esque touchscreen and a vast array of features, including overhead hole views. But buggy performance and lack of course coverage keep this from rising to the top. Retail Price: $399.00 Three year total cost: $399.00 Amazon.com price: Check price now Golfsmith price: Check price now Read full review	86	B

	SkyCaddie SG5 The top of the line in the SkyCaddie series, the SG5 shines with its easy-to-use interface and ability to customize how the map data is displayed. A bit pricey when the annual subscription to access the course database is factored in. Retail price: $399.95 plus yearly fees Three year total cost: $519.80 Amazon.com price: Check price now Golfsmith price: Check price now Read full review	85	B
	Sonocaddie V300 Overhead hole maps, friendly interface and lots of features will make this device appealing to many users. However, multiple bad experiences with significant distance errors make the V300 difficult to recommend whole-heartedly. Retail Price: $399 plus one-time and/or per course fees Three year total cost: $428.95 Amazon.com price: Check price now Read full review	82	B-
	GolfLogix GPS-8 It may be good enough for Peter Costis and Gary McCord’s moustache, but it’s not quite good enough for us. Achieves its goal of simplicity, and just about any course is available. But with few features, the value just doesn’t seem to be there for this bulky device with a black and white screen. Retail price: $299.95 plus yearly fees Three year total cost: $389.80 Amazon.com price: Check price now Read full review	74	C
	Golf Guru 4 The Golf Guru 4 aims to be jack of all trades, but ends up master of none. The release of the device seems premature, as course coverage for AerVu maps is weak and the software was tremendously buggy. Retail price: $399.95 plus per course fees Three year total cost: $509.95 Amazon.com price: Check price now Read full review	74	C
	IZZO SWAMI We like the concept of a basic, lightweight device that comes cheap and has low annual fees. But little functionality, coupled with numerous distance errors keep the SWAMI at the bottom of our rankings. Retail Price: $99.99 plus yearly fees Three year total cost: $129.96 Amazon.com price: Check price now Read full review	72	C-
