Our Overall Best Bargain: iGolf Neo $119.95
* First year membership is free. Thereafter $20 per annum
^ Not needed as unit uses transflective technology which makes reading the display easy under any lighting conditions
^^ Comprehensive download fee structure replaces an annual subscription.
** This is the number of courses you will get without the annual subscription. With a subscription there is no limit.
*** Subscription allows for Course mapping request which can take from 1 day to 3 weeks
# Not available yet but planned as a future enhancement.
Please
note that with most of the proposed enhancements to the uPro there will
be a "small additional fee" - this seems to be the case with each
proposed enhancement.
