Play better golf with the best golf GPS from Shotmiser
Lower your handicap?
Become a better, smarter golfer?
Perhaps the most important thing to determine when considering which Golf GPS system is the right one for you is:
How do you want to receive information about the hole in front of you?
First to market golf gps systems such as SkyCaddie and Golf Buddy leaned towards providing basic information to set hazards on the course displaying to the user bold easily readable numbers to each hazard.
In 2005 Shotmiser was launched bringing to market the first golf gps rangefinder that provided golfers with the option of a golf gps system that utilised overhead golf course maps. With clear uncompromising graphics generated by a mixture of walking the course using survey grade equipment and high resolution 25 cm accurate flown imagery, Shotmiser had launched what golf gps enthusiasts regarded as 'the future of gps in golf' (Quote - Today's Golfer) and won the Gold Award for Best GPS on Test in Today's Golfer.
During 2010-11 SkyCaddie, Garmin and Golf Buddy amongst other manufacturers began to release their own golf gps systems utilising overhead course imagery. Certainly Shotmiser see this as the future of golf in gps. With all the choice that the golfer now has for golf gps rangefinders there are 4 key areas that you need to consider when purchasing a golf gps product as well as the technical spec of devices as seen below.
# 1 Cost of ownership
Is there a subscription service involved in accessing your course(s)
# 2 Whether your favourite course(s) are mapped
More recent to market systems have fewer courses graphically mapped, the course may be available but not necessarily graphically and you
end up with basic information that you may have got on a previous model.
All Shotmiser courses are graphically mapped to show every detail of the golf course.
# 3 Whether the screen size is right for you the user
After speaking to many of our long term and new users of Shotmiser we know that the biggest concerns to any golfer is the screen size and
readability of the screen in bright lighting conditions, with the average age of golf club memeber being 50+, screen size is an important factor when
purchasing a GPS system. The Shotmiser G700 delivers a Huge 3.5 Inch super bright LCD touch screen, outdoor sunlight readable display.
With the 3.5 Inch screen comes the benefit of displaying large numbers to those golfers that suffer with reading information on a smaller LCD screen.
# 4 Warranty period
Golf GPS Rangefinders can take a beating out on the course a good warranty period is essential. Most offer a year however some will offer less.
Shotmiser offer a 1 year warranty with all golf gps systems.
