GolfBuddy Tour GPS
The GolfBuddy Tour Golf GPS is one of the most user friendly and simple golf gps units. When you first put this gps system in your hand you notice only 2 buttons. This makes for an amazingly human friendly interface but does lack some of the features of the other tops models. The Dynamic Green View is a really cool feature that changes the view of the green depending on your approach angle. The GolfBuddy Tour also comes fully loaded with thousands of golf courses from across America. If your course is not included, simply download the course without the worry of signing up for a costly membership.
