Golf Buddy World Platinum
The Golf Buddy World Platinum GPS will help improve your golf game and scores by showing you how far you need to drive the ball and in what direction to reach the next hole.
The Golf Buddy Platinum GPS has pre-loaded information for 34,500 courses worldwide in its database with 17,900 of these in the US, and has a 40,000 course storage capability.
Pre-mapped targets and hazards are clearly indicated on course maps and the user has the ability to add your own custom points. You can also enter and track the scores of up to four players.
The Golf Buddy World Platinum GPS allows users to view course information in three formats: an overhead view that displays the shape of the hole in drawn pictorial form and shows the location of the various hazards; the green view that shows the shape of the green and the surrounding area with data on its width and depth; and a target view that lists pre-mapped targets at the touch of a button and the distances to them from your current location.
There is also a custom mapping function that allows you to add additional targets to a hole in addition to the pre-mapped targets.
The Platinum GPS is very easy to use. All you have to do is turn on the device and it will automatically find the course and hole you’re on. Controls are similarly easy to use for navigating the course maps, with buttons conveniently located at the sides of the device for using the various functions.
Course coverage of the Golf Buddy World GPS is one of the highest in the industry, with new course maps regularly being added as they become available. Even better, the Golf Buddy World Platinum GPS requires no membership fees or course download fees other than the purchase price of the device.

With the retail price of $329.00 the Golf Buddy World Platinum has the highest price tag of all the golf gps devices on this site.
With no annual fees or course download fees it makes it worth considering since in a 2 to 3 year period other models that are cheaper but have membership or download fees will end up surpassing the price of the Golf Buddy World Platinum.
