uPro Golf GPS by Callaway Golf uPro Golf GPS by Callaway Golf Looking to improve your course management skills? Turn to the uPro golf GPS system, which employs state-of-the-art GPS, aerial, and satellite technology to accurately render the details of thousands of golf courses. The uPro starts by providing the avid golfer with aerial and satellite photographs of the golf course, so you can see what the hole looks like before you play it. At the same time, the unit’s built-in GPS system clearly locates the golf course hazards and flagstick, so you know what you’re up against at any moment. With each glance at the 2.2-inch, high-resolution color screen, you can see a different view of the fairway, check out the upcoming sand traps and water hazards, or receive a distance marker that helps you select the correct club length. Even more impressive, the uPro’s SmartView technology anticipates the hazards that you’ll face on your next shot, so you can plan accordingly based on the strengths of your game. Don’t want to carry water on your second shot? The SmartView technology’s dynamically generated “viewports” will tell you which area of the fairway or rough will provide a water-free path.

The easy-to-comprehend user-interface is crisp and intuitive.

The uPro is remarkably easy to carry, with a sleek and unobtrusive design that fits in a pocket or belt holder without interfering with your natural golf swing. In addition, the unit has the quickest startup time of any golf GPS system, with a super-fast GPS locking system. And thanks to the high GPS sensitivity, the uPro remains locked even under the most extreme conditions.

The uPro offers two basic modes for golf course downloads. In Basic mode, the uPro shows the distance to the front and back of all hazards and differentiates the type of hazards. Each hazard is automatically displayed in sequential order based on the current user position, and then is updated as the user moves throughout the hole. Basic mode also provides a green view, with large, easy-to-read numbers that depict the distance to the front, center, and back of the green. In Pro mode, meanwhile, the device offers a video flyover that lets the user see the layout of the hole from an aerial perspective. From the center of the green, users can see the 100-, 150-, and 200-yard markers. The Pro mode also offers scale-accurate measurements that are used to measure to and from any point on the golf course, even from the outskirts of the rough.

The uPro is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS X v10.4 or later (Windows 2000 is the oldest version of Windows that is compatible with the uPro). However, note that the uPro does not require any additional software to connect with the uPro servers. Instead, users can easily download golf courses at uPro’s web site. Once you’re online, the web site gives the user a list of all golf courses in the U.S.–in your choice of Basic or Pro mode–on a click-and-buy basis. The unit’s GPS technology also automatically determines which courses are nearby. And as an add-on software download, the device can accept voice commands to make menu navigation virtually hands-free.

The uPro comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a wall adapter, a USB cable, and a single free Pro mode download of any golf course. The device comes with a six-month warranty.
Customer Review: UPro works as advertised
Worked without any gltches. very easy to use. extremely accurate with yardage now I can only blame myself for not hitting the proper distance
Customer Review: Very Satisfied….Great Product
So I did my homework like everyone does when buying something we know very little about….what a great decision to buy this Callaway uPro!

The device is about the same size as my Palm Centro but half the weight…not bulky or heavy at all in the pocket…you definitely need a screen protector as I already have some small scraps and I tried to baby it over this past weekend playing five rounds…bought Zaggs Invisi-shield for it and it looks great and well protected now.

This is extremely easy to use…very simple controls and after one round you will have mastered all the functions and abilities. I played courses with both Pro Mode and Basic Mode….Pro Mode is very nice but you can function just fine in Basic Mode. I definitely prefer to have ProMode if at all possible, especially on courses you have never played before.

The most important thing I learned so far is….you absolutely have to use the the screen saver (Sleep Mode)…to play two full rounds…I had absolutely no problems linking back up with the satellites (2-3 second delay)…with Sleep Mode on I played two rounds (36 holes) and still had half a battery left compared to only 21 holes without Sleep Mode on. I kept the backlight on 10% for both scenarios…but I think I can bring the backlight up higher with the Sleep Mode on and enjoy all the beautiful colors on the screen more.

My friend uses one of the Bushnell Pin Seeker range finders and he was definitely enjoying all the information I get to bunkers and water, ect. He wants one…just doesn’t want to spend anymore money this year on golf!

First hole played with it I put my shot within 6 feet on approach and just missed the birdie. Played sub-handicap most rounds with it…very good since these were courses I rarely play and have little knowledge for layups, ect. I’m keeping this baby for a long time…

Augusta National is loaded on my GPS…will I play there?….who knows! Still love looking at the aerial fly-bys though!

Battery charging does take around 3 hours….there is no decent looking skin for the uPro and I definitely will need something or its going to get pretty scraped up.

Takes some time getting used to downloading courses to the GPS….not extremely difficult, just need to get used to navigating the screens. I loaded 10 courses on a slow connection and it took around 40 minutes…wish I could just download courses from the GPS without using my computer….maybe that will be an upgrade later. Single course downloads take around 5-10 minutes.

Anyways….work flawlessly…matched my friends range finder almost every time…I’m extremely happy and do not regret this purchase in the least.

I did pay the $120 for the 50 Pro Mode downloads…kind of expensive…but I probably won’t pay anymore money for a long time.

Give it a try…you are gonna love it!
