Features To Look For
Like a car GPS, a golf GPS is not cheap so you want to get the most bang for your buck and get as many useful features as you can. Here are some basic features most players will want:
* Will calculate the distance to the hole and to each part of the green.
* Tell you the size and shape of every target and hazard.
* Once distance is determined, it will suggest which club to use.
* Download and store several golf courses.
* Allow you to keep the scores of up to 4 players.
* A waterproof unit technically shouldn't be needed if it's supposed to warn you of lakes on the course!
* Small enough to fit in your pocket. The last thing you need is another piece of equipment to lug around.

Types of Units
You have your basic units with simple LCD screens that calculate your distances like the GolfLogix. These are much cheaper, usually under $150. A belt clip so the GPS is always ready for battle!
