The Yardage Pro XGC Golf GPS device delivers the most accurate course information available as well as scorekeeping and statistic capabilities to the palm of your hand with a vivid, high-resolution color screen making it golf's ultimate GPS tool. With a unique hole up tracking feature for a "down the fairway" perspective, distance to the front, center, and back of green, distance to any point on green, and course images for each individual green as available, the Pro XGC allows you to know the course before you've even traveled it. The compact Pro XGC unit stores up to 100 courses with hole-by-hole detail so you are never without the correct course information. Finally, the Pro XGC is waterproof, so you can use it in any weather conditions without worrying.

The Pro XGC is equipped with a large, 2.2-inch high-resolution sunlight-readable screen display. The screen has a backlight so that it can be used in any light conditions. The color screen allows you to download detailed color maps for the easiest to read GPS available. Designed to make your game smarter for fewer strokes, the unique hole up tracking feature gives you a "down the fairway" perspective, for easier and better course management. The Pro XGC is also equipped with a custom green map feature that gives you the distance to any point on the green, as well as course images for each individual green on the course.

The Bushnell Pro XGC GPS is accurate within two yards, offering the best accuracy available for the game--and the same degree of accuracy as any other golf GPS devices on the market. Unlike a laser rangefinder, the Bushnell Pro XGC GPS allows you to determine the distance to objects that are not in your line of sight, providing you with distances to the green that are difficult to get with laser rangefinders. With rangefinders you can overshoot the green, and struggle to hold the rangefinder steady. The Pro XGC GPS gives you immediate feedback so you won't have to worry about holding up play and your concentration can remain on the game.

The Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC allows you to store up to 100 golf courses at a time on one device. A membership to iGolf.com gives you access to the world's largest golf course database, allowing you to download up to 100 courses yearly, that all can be synced to your Pro XGC through a simple USB connection. The Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC offers you the birds eye view of the course so your play can be more deliberate, accurate, and successful.

Using Bushnell Yardage Pro Sync and the iGolf Database:
Bushnell and iGolf have partnered to provide Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC users with the world's largest, most accurate database of GPS course files available. A free membership on iGolf.com enables you to track your handicap, catch up on golf headlines, and find reviews of your favorite course. A paid membership with a low one-year subscription fee allows you download and save up to 100 GPS course files annually.

A one-year membership contract with iGolf allows you to download and save any available golf courses onto your computer to use with the Pro XGC. Since all golf course files are stored on your computer you can easily swap course files on and off the Pro XGC as needed. The currency of the information on the iGolf website is updated regularly with any renovations or changed holes so you have access to the most up to date information possible.

Locate golf courses on the iGolf database using a simple search tool--just enter one or two keywords within the course name to produce a list of results. An advanced search option is available to narrow results further as necessary. After you have located your golf course in the iGolf database, you will see the GPS Enabled area of the screen. The program will let you know if Front/Center/Back measurements, Custom Points with measurements for the hazards on the course, and Course Images for each individual green are available.

Transferring downloaded golf courses to your Pro XGC from your PC is easy. Simply open the Bushnell Sync Application, connect the Pro XGC to the USB port on the computer, and power up the unit. Select the golf course that you want to transfer off of the computer, click send, and you are done.

Having a golf GPS unit in your bag is a bit like playing with your very own PGA-quality caddie. These little electronic wonders have evolved a great deal since the USGA deemed them legal for tournament play in 2005. Most models these days can provide you with quick and accurate information regarding distance to the hole and other targets and hazards; length of prior shots (often storable for future reference); course layout; distance to the front, middle, and back of the green; and more.

With a wide range of golf GPS device, feature, and subscription choices available on the market today, finding one that's right for you can be like finding the middle of the fairway when the winds are swirling.
