The Callaway uPro Go GPS is equipped with cutting edge, state-of-the-art electronics to achieve the best-in-class GPS performance possible. The uPro Go GPS locks in fast and stays locked onto more satellites, with higher signal strength, giving you better accuracy even under adverse conditions.

The uPro Go has been preloaded with over 18,000 courses across the U.S. and Canada. Every course available for the uPro Go has been professionally mapped by Callaway employees. Using proprietary mapping techniques and mapping thousands of points per hole, the uPro Go will give you the accuracy you've been looking for unlike the greens and hazards defined by a couple of points on the ecourse. The uPro Go provides amazingly detailed green renderings of every hole with an accurate view of the size, shape, and distance of the green--the detail you need to plan your game.
The uPro Go boasts a high-resolution, full color screen, designed to work in direct sunlight. The uPro Go's transflective screen actually uses the sun's light in bright sun and under cloud cover to illuminate the display, rather than washing out the images like typical screens would. Whether you are playing in the blazing sun or in deep cloud cover, the uPro Go will deliver the best possible image resolution for the day.
BasicMode: With features available at no additional subscription cost, BasicMode provides both Hazard View and Green View screens. Hazard view provides the distance to the front and the distance to carry each hazard. This easy to understand graphic screen shows both the type and lay of the hazard. In Hazard View, hazards are listed in order based on your location on the course. Green View provides distances to the front, center, and back of the green in clear easy-to-read numbers. You can also access the mark function in Green View, which allows you to measure the distances of any shot.
GoMode: Available with a 1-time activation fee, GoMode provides a Virtual Green View and AnyPoint (TM) View screens. The Virtual Green View uses a proprietary imagery process to provide vivid, colored, and detailed renderings of the green and its surrounding area, along with precise distances to the front, center, and back of the green. In this mode distances are updated dynamically as you move about the hole. The AnyPoint View combines the best of GPS and laser, allowing you to measure to any spot on or around the green based on where you are standing on the course.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
A friend recommended this GPS so I gave it a try. I am a previous user of a sky caddie 4. I rarely used my sky caddie because I would forget to download the course ahead of time and I often had trouble getting a satelite fix. I had gone through lots of problems getting through the fire wall on my network router before I could ever get my sky caddie up and working. My callaway UPro Go has become my constant companion on the golf course since I purchased it 2 weeks ago. There are no firewall issues in connecting this device to the internet. Finding the satelite is quick and easy. I decided to purchase it because all courses are already loaded so there are no issues with forgetting to upload a course or deciding what to include or exclue on an extended trip. This GPS also is quick in updating yardage to the hole. I also used it when setting up a golf course (deciding what tee box would be used on each hole) for an upcoming major amateur championship in trying to figure out where landing areas would be, etc and it was a great help. Again the speed of getting the yardage number versus my sky caddie experience was impressive. The device fits easily into my back pccket so I see no need for a cart mount or belt clip. The only downside is that the joy stick is small and takes some getting used to. Those with big hands/fingers could easily get frustrated using it. I live in Delaware and play golf in Delaware and New Jersey as well and have not idenfitied any courses that are NOT inlcuded in the course list.
