Golf gps are used mainly by golfers and by sportsmen alike. They are used to find bunkers, sand traps, and water traps on a golf course. If you are a competative golfer, they are useful.
Most golf GPS systems can pick up the full size of a golf course. There ar golf GPS systems that have the ability to automatically pick up any golf course that you are on as well as keep track of your score and calculate how far a golf ball will go when hit.
You can purchase a Golf GPS Rangefinder at most sports stores, or outlet centers. The GPS Rangefinder can also be found for discounted prices online. A golf outlet center can be found here http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/rangefinders.html
Most GPS golf ranger finders are normally water-resistant or waterproof and have a design that is fully coated for any temperature climates or elevations on the golf course.

A GPS, or Global Positioning System can usually be used to find its own position on the planet Earth, with great precision. This is particularly useful for the person currently holding the GPS, or if the GPS is being used as a tracking device, for the people tracking the GPS. Often the GPS will be used in conjunction with software that displays the current position on a world-map and also sometimes with directions to a customize-able destitution. This makes the GPS useful for navigation in different situations. When included in a mobile phone the GPS becomes even more useful because it will be portable and less likely to be forgotten.
I do not think that a gps caddie can help improve golf scores. Only practice can help you with your golf performance. A gps can only allow you to see where you should aim your ball.
A GPS portable is most likely meant for use outside of the vehicle, such as on golf courses. A normal GPS is usually intended to be used only on the road, and will not work properly if it is used for other activities.
Unfortunately, Garmin does not offer a Golf Course GPS package for the Garmin Model 205W. You would have to purchase the Garmin GolfLogix GPS unit.
A golf GPS has your golf course mapped out, and uses global positioning to tell you what yardage you have to certain features, but mainly the green (front, middle and back) It's basically like a sat nav for your round of golf.
The Bushnell Hybrid Laser GPS Rangefinder is widely available. Many golf stores and websites carry the golf geared GPS rangefinder. Amazon also stocks it.
We can print the rebate form on the Bushnell site. The smallest, most compact, golf GPS unit available is also one of the simplest and easiest to use.
