Snooper S280 Shotsaver

The Snooper S280 Shotsaver GPS is a multipurpose touch-screen device that can be used on the golf course as a sat nav (including speed camera detection) and as an MP3 player. The device comes with a free subscription to Snooper’s course database, which includes over 2,000 courses in Western Europe that have been plotted on foot. The S280 can hold up to 100 courses at a time. Green and hazard yardages are all accurate to within two yards.

This device is superb value for money for a product that not only gives you free access to course downloads, but also works as a sat nav. It identifies all hazards with easy-to-follow icons.  The battery life is disappointingly only five hours long.
