Golf: OnPar GPS unit looks pretty cool

That OnPar GPS device that we caught wind of last week has been captured on video by Rob over at Golf Views. As far as golf gadgets go, this one’s bound to make a splash thanks to the very iPhone-like interface and what seems like a relatively straightforward user experience mixed in with some pretty interesting shot tracking and statistics features.

The $479 price tag is going to place this gizmo right out of the hands of all but the most serious and/or well-heeled golfers but the idea behind the OnPar could likely be made into a similar iPhone or Android app and sold to the rest of us. Actually, if OnPar wanted to head something like that off at the pass, they’d port their own software for use on various mobile platforms – not just their own hardware device – and beat everyone else to the punch.
