Thanks.

I think you have covered this well.  Yes, Your point of battery life is well taken.

I am also searching for a iPhone 4 Golf App.  Saw Golfshot, but checked some of the database and there’s repeated courses, I assume it’s because of user input and therefore I worry about accuracy of the information (I assume over time it will be good)

Can’t wait to hear from you.  Once I decided which to get, I will also write about it.  Thanks.

Since the last post - for GPS purposes I am just using Golfshot GPS.  I think that the Callaway uPro (and Skycaddies) are more reliable and instant than the iPhone apps, but I just found myself with the uPro turned off any time I wanted to use it (from going to power saver mode after 30-45 minutes of non-use).  If an iPhone app is in the background and the iPhone is back to standby, it only takes moments to bring the GPS back up.

As I said above, it seems as if the uPro and Skycaddies are more spot on - where the iPhone you have to wait a few moments to get a stable reading on distance. 

A few weeks back, I went to a scramble at a course I had never been to, in another state.  Unless I had preloaded that course with my old Skycaddie or my uPro, I would be SOL.  With Golfshot, it found the course for me and downloaded the satellite images when I selected it.

NOw on my home courses, I use a laser almost exclusively (when I even need distance) - that goes against my thoughts before that a GPS is better for mid to high handicappers because you should go for the center of the green - but on my home course, I know the greens well enough so I will go to a section of a green.  And the laser is instant and exact.
