Shotmiser G500...stunning software update

Just downloaded the latest update from Shotmiser and it will revolutionise my practice and dispel any need to buy a laser rangefinder! I practice my wedges on the heath and up to my 8 iron on our practice hole. The problem up until now has been measuring how far I hit it and my average distances. Obviously this is priceless information for approach shots especially when you are using a partial swing. So I am ecstatic that Shotmiser have introduced a new Practice Utility function on their GPS. Effectively, you set your tee position, hit a load of balls, then go up to each one and click the ball icon and it will tell you your distance for each shot and calculate your average.

The biggest turn off for this product was the cost of each course download but with 100 free downloads available with each purchase I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better golf GPS.

I'll be road testing this new feature on my lunch break but can safely say if it performs half as well as I am expecting I'll be well impressed. Update to follow...

...ok I am back from the heath and can report that the new tool is excellent. Worked through relaxed approach shots with my GW, SW and LW recording average distances of 98, 87 and 76 yards  respectively. It makes figuring out your average so simple and also helped me put targets  at the right distance. Very easy to use and I only hope that in a future software update they add in dispersion. For now most impressed!
