Ok, so you have a fancy touchscreen Smartphone with the Android operating system (perhaps a Verizon Droid or even a brand new Nexus One from Google), and you want to spice it up with a compatible golf Gps. Maybe you're already customary with GolfShot, GolfLogix, and some of the other popular golf Gps apps available for the iPhone and BlackBerry Smartphones, and now you're wondering what the choices are for Android. The number of apps in the Android market may be kind of puny compared to the huge number of apps available for the iPhone. But there are Android golf Gps apps available. The following list of five top-notch products is a start.
GolfCard was premium by both Cnn and Time magazine as the best iPhone golf app for father's day (2009). Now it's available for Android phones; both Sprint and Verizon have recently featured GolfCard in their new phone ads. It looks promising, and should probably be more popular than it already is. This uncostly rangefinder has a database of 28,000 courses, a scorecard for many players, statistical analysis, and no subscription fees.
GreenFinder, which is a popular Gps app that also works on Blackberry, iPhone, and Windows mobile phones, can be downloaded and used five times for free. It gives you distances to the front, center, and back of the green, as well as distances to fairway hazards and the distance of your last shot. It costs less than a round of golf and there are no added fees: you can download all the courses you need and you can even mark your own courses.
FreeCaddie also works on Blackberry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Java enabled phones. The free version displays only the distances to the front, center, and back of greens. If you want the absolutely good stuff like distances to bunkers and hazards, a shot distance function, the quality to map your own points, or statistics and scorekeeping, then you need to upgrade to FreeCaddie Pro.
Pocket Caddy from Satsports has 3D flyovers of the entire policy and individual holes, distances to the front, center, and back of the green and other points of interest. It also has shot recording, statistical prognosis and and a scorecard. With Pocket Caddy you can get a map of your home policy included with purchase, or you can absolutely map courses yourself using Google Earth.
SkyDroid (which is almost free) has distances to the front, town and back of every green on the course, as well as distances to water hazards, bunkers, and other policy features. It also has a satellite map view of every hole. You can track the distance of your last shot, download all the courses you want for no extra cost, and you can even use SkyDroid's policy Mapper to absolutely map your own courses.
