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 uPro offers aerial and satellite photographs of thousands of golf courses. |
 The easy-to-comprehend user-interface is crisp and intuitive. |
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..../ uPro Golf GPS by Callaway Golf / Gold Tech

uPro w/v3.0 Works like it was advertised--Bugs fixed.... : uPro Golf GPS by Callaway Golf
Like all Golf Gps devices, the Calloway Upro is intended to contribute golfers with range facts and in basic mode, the distance to the green or hazards is displayed in much the same way as many rival Gps units. Where the Upro distinguishes itself from the pack is straight through the use of satellite imagery: In pro mode, the user is given a bird's eye view of the hole and where he is on it. This, coupled with the ability to measure from current position to any point on the hole, means the Upro promises unparalleled course administration ability in real time. Overall the Upro delivers on the promise, but for me the inherent is offset by the difficulty of trying to use it on the course.
Out of the Box Experience
The first thing that strikes you about the Upro is its small size. It slips conveniently in and out of the pocket and does not dig you in the thigh as you take your stance (unless you are one of the younger tour pros who seem to like to wear skin tight pants on the golf course, but then a reputation card would pose problems for those guys).
Initial set up of the unit was straightforward: the "getting started" leaflet and the player's guide were easy to supervene and for those who like a minute more handholding, the website has a couple of interactive demos. Hooking the Upro up to the computer , registering and downloading courses was neither problematic not unacceptably slow over a broadband connection; the synchronization software seemed a minute rough around the edges, but did it's job.
Navigating around the assorted modes and functions is easy and generally intuititive using whether dedicated keys on the multi-function four way key.
One point to note here is a Gps is only as good as the maps it uses and at the time I purchased my Upro, my local course was not mapped. Calloway offer a warrant that courses deemed eligible for mapping and registered as a local course will be mapped within 4 firm days of registration. I have to admit that I was highly skeptical about this claim as my local course is not hugely popular, although it was deemed eligible for mapping. I was delighted to find that on the fourth firm day after registration; my course was mapped and ready for download. The mapping appears to be exact distance wise and the ability to get free basic mode maps and buy private pro mode maps is, for me, preferable to the more coarse subscription model.
Golfing from your Armchair
One major benefit the Upro has over the competition is the ability to run in preview mode away from the course. You can measure distances from point to point on the satellite maps of the course using the "any point" feature and use the flyover feature to give you an Overall impression of the hole. These features allow the user gain familiarity with a course and produce a strategy for playing it; this feature is particularly useful if you are going to play a course which is thoroughly new to you. These features form the heart of pro mode and they have a exact ability to draw "oohs and ahhs" from your golfing buddies, especially flyover mode which should have some cheesy muzak playing in the background as you fly over to complete the "watching on Tv" effect.
Golfing on the Course
Oddly, I've found that pro mode is not that useful out on the course. Basic mode provides all the facts that you typically need - at a sight - while playing (distance to the green and hazards) and the mark function, which allows you to measure the actual distance of your shot, is only accessible from basic mode.
While swapping between basic and pro modes is easy, using industrialized pro mode features, such as layup measurement, is a minute time absorbing and not that easy to do accurately due to the small size of the screen. The problems get a minute worse in absorbing sunlight as, despite Calloway's claims to the contrary, it was impossible to get the satellite maps used in pro mode to display with enough difference to allow you to no ifs ands or buts distinguish features. This is not surprising as golf courses are shades of green on green. Basic mode displays, which are mostly black on white, display well in strong sunlight, so this is not an issue for basic mode.
Auto hole advance is other feature, coarse to both pro and basic modes, that doesn't quite live up to expectations on the course. If you happen to be close to an adjacent hole with your shot, Upro will happily turn the hole it thinks you are playing, which can throw you for a loop. Auto advance with prompt is just plain annoying with its constant nagging about changing holes, so by hand advance seems to be the only sure fire way of absorbing holes only when you want to. by hand hole advance is quicker and simpler to use in basic mode (one key stroke) than in Pro mode (3 key strokes via 2 menus)...another conjecture to stick with basic mode while playing.
Conclusion
Given that Upro has much the same price point as its high end rivals but has greater functional capability, the decision to buy it was a no-brainer which I do not regret. That having been said, the features currently unique to Upro, most of which come under the pro mode umbrella, are nice to haves which are not (currently) particularly easy to use while playing, even though they do add value to the goods for pre-play use.
