+IdaLabs Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 We're pretty new to geocaching (love it) but are getting a little frustrated. We're using a TomTom One and would like to by a handheld GPS to use, but my husband would also like to be able to use it for golf. Are there GPS devices that can do both? Is it just a matter of software to download? Thanks, Laura Quote Link to comment

Bummer for me, I have two different cache series placed around golf courses! Quote Link to comment
+TheRedArmy Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 only one i can think of is the iPhone. but the tomtom application for it is $99 and the golf is another $30 or so, plus the cost of the phone, plus the cost of your data plan, plus the geocach application is not as good as a dedicated GPSr Quote Link to comment
scotthsi Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Isn't that kind of cheating at golf anyway? Quote Link to comment

+Indotguy Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) A friend of mine uses a Magellan Gold when he's on the links. With the tees, holes, bunkers, etc. waypointed the GPS lets him know how far he is from any feature at any lie. Apparently it's possible to get the coordinates for golf course features from Google Earth but I've never tried. Edited September 20, 2009 by Indotguy Quote Link to comment
