Golf Aps for Android Operating Systems
If you are a golf enthusiast then owning one of the most cutting edge golf GPS systems for your Android smart phones should be on your to do list, which are much better than using indoor golf nets! If you are familiar with applications like GolfLogix and some of the other more popular iPhone and Blackberry options, you are probably looking for more flexibility when it comes to your Android operating system. There are many available golf global positioning system applications for android, although compared to the size and diversity compared to the iPhone is a bit smaller. Here are some of the most popular and highly recommended Android golf GPS systems available in the market today:
One of the most popular aps for the Android when it comes to Golf is the GolfCard, which was chosen by top magazines as the best iPhone golf application last 2009. It is now available in Android format for both providers Verizon and Sprint. It has promising features and has a database of 28,000 courses with a standby scorecard capable of tracking multiple players and providing statistical analysis. The best part is there are no subscription fees.
Greenfinder is another popular GPS application that was popularized by Blackbery and Windows mobile phones and can be used as demoware, about five times before you have to cough up a fee. It provides information for front, back and center of the green and fairway hazards relative to the last shot you made. There is a onetime fee to be paid and contains almost all course information available through global tracking, plus you can mark your own golf course.
FreeCaddie is a flexible application that displays distances for most aspects of the green. There is a freemode version which only lets you do so much but a paid software license will get you some pretty useful features such as hazard and bunker distance calculation, shot distance and self mapping. It also has the function to statistically analyze and keep score- this is the FreeCaddie Pro version, unlike if you are using golf nets.
