The New GPS Golf Guru Guru 4 Takes Golf GPS Devises To The Next Level

By Darren Zahradnik

For players who love the GPS Golf Guru the new GURU 4 is a worthwhile upgrade to consider. The Guru 4 upgrade will build upon the strong customer foundation of the GPS Golf Guru. It offers functions not accessible in other golfing gadgets or previous models of the GPS GOLF Guru.

GPS Golf Guru's customer service reputation is well known in the industry for speed of response and effective problem solving. It's been an important factor in the popularity of the company. Customers will be glad to hear that the Guru 4 will continue this tradition.

No other golf-oriented GPS device offers its users the ability to use their gadget for functions that don't relate to golfing. In this way, the Guru 4 is different from the rest of its competitors. One function it offers is a built-in music player. The Guru 4 is the first golfing GPS gadget to offer this. This combination allows users to carry one less device when they go golfing.

Additionally, the Guru 4 includes a movie playing feature. Some player may find this feature useful by viewing their favorite swing tips while waiting. Now if they used to carry a separate devise for this, they can leave it at home, thanks to the Guru 4. One more non-golfing feature of the Guru 4 is its built-in picture viewing function.

Like the GPS Golf Guru before it, the GURU 4 stores your statistical data if activated. Players can record shot distances, type of club, and the result of each swing. They can then use this data to further evaluate and improve their own play.

The Golf GPS Guru set a precedent for providing features beyond the storage of stroke data. The Guru 4 both follows this precedent and expands upon it, with newly added functions not available in its predecessor.

Unlimited downloads of standard course maps are included free of charge with this update. Also, additional aerial view maps are available. The aerial view maps, known as AerVu, give players a full-color bird's eye view of the course they are playing.

Significant improvement has been made in the Guru 4's GPS reception capabilities. A 20-channel, built in GPS receiver is included. This high-sensitivity receiver can function even in areas known for poor reception, thanks to new technology.

The speed of GPS acquisition has also been optimized. Greater sensitivity and faster speed means that customers are getting the most accuracy and convenience. A golf GPS unit is useless if a player can't acquire a signal, or if doing so takes a prohibitively long time.

GPS Golf Guru has an already established commitment to service and exceptional quality. The Guru 4, in that sense, should be successful. However, the willingness of consumers in this market to pay for unnecessary luxury features is debatable. The measure of success the Guru 4 can attain hinges on this factor.

This crucial question, however, remains: Will golfers really be willing to spend a greater amount for a unit with access to features unrelated to improving their golf game? If, in fact, they are, the Guru 4 will be on every player's wish list. If players choose fewer functions and lower price, however, this company may be in for a surprise.
