The Dangers of Golf GPS

I obtained a funny pr release from GolfBuddy recounting the story of a golfer on christmas who accidentally racked up thousands of dollars in knowledge costs using his telephone as a golf GPS. The charges went to a lot more than $3,000. Iam sure was when he returned home to Germany quite the shock. On a Scout camping trip we got to Canada a year ago, everyone was warned to turn their intelligent phones offa'and keep them offa'to avoid accidental global data costs. The moral of the story, according to GolfBuddy is he should have applied a stand-alone GPS instead. Iave applied a smartphone GPS occasionally and found two dilemmas. First, it chews through the batteries. On my telephone, I will usually only get through fourteen or fifteen holes. Second, on more remote classes (and there are numerous of the in Michigan), I canat obtain a proper indication. You wonat have both of the difficulties with a passionate GPS or perhaps a laser rangefinder. The total text of the press release is below: GOLFBUDDY PRESERVES PLAYER FROM SMARTPHONE NIGHTMARE GolfBuddy, the worldas leading golf GPS company, walked into support a German player who racked up a A2,000 cell phone bill after using a smartphone application while on a golf holiday abroad.
