What GPS can I buy that I could use both in car and on the golf course?
I am looking to buy my fiancee a GPS for her birthday. We also love golf and have considered getting a GPS for golfing alone. That said, is there a GPS out there that could double as a “most of the time” in-car GPS system and then could get pulled easily from the car and put into our golf cart at the course? Price is not a huge object (though I don’t have an infinite budget). The main feature is the in-car GPS, but I would love to get one that could be used on the course as well with pretty widerange course map support. Thanks in advance!!!

Any of the small Garmin line should work for you. They average from $399.00 to about $1,295.00 depending on the programs and features ordered.
How do you get lost on a golf course.
To be useful on the golf course as well as do the the car GPS navigation I’d suggest teaming a GPS enabled PDA such as the HP iPAQ hw6515 (http://gpstekreviews.com/category/gps-pdas/) with the appropriate software - eg. Microsoft Pocket Streets (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobilelife/default.mspx)for navigation and Personal GPS Golf System (http://www.golfps.com/) for the golf course.
My suggestion is to buy separate devices for each use since the golf caddie (sky caddie) is specifically designed for a golf course and downloadable software for several courses and the navigation GPS for travel (auto) has maps and destination points specific for road navigation.
I suggest a Garmin GPS for the auto as they have several handheld and auto mountable models to choose from as well as good customer support and updates.
As for the golf GPS I suggest the Sky Caddie SG4 model since it is waterproof and has an SD slot for programmable updates and other options.
Plan on spending $350.00 + for each as there’s no cheap way out on this if you want quality and reliability. No one likes to be lost or stuck in traffic if they have a GPS that isn’t functioning properly or doesn’t have the features available because you went the inexpensive route.
