If you're looking for a simple, affordable golf GPS device to give you basic distance information, the Bushnell neo+ is a great option. While it lacks the visual presentation and some of the features of other devices, it provides reliable distance information to the front, center and back of the green, along with several major targets and hazards per hole. It's a very light, compact and intuitive device and it comes at an affordable price point.
The neo+ is designed to be quick and easy to use and is ready to go as soon as the battery is charged. You will need to register for an iGolf account to access course and software updates, but registration is free and can be done anytime within 45 days of first use. There are no additional fees or subscriptions for this device.
We found the Bushnell neo+ to be just as accurate as the top golf GPS models currently on the market. The pre-mapped targets and hazards can be somewhat limited, but the neo+ includes a function to easily map your own custom points and choose which ones to display.
