CARLSBAD, California-uPlay, LLC-an integrated products design company that produces technically superior consumer electronics devices that are innovative and fun-announces that the Basic Mode™ downloads for its uPro™ hand-held golf GPS device are now FREE of charge.
The stylish, compact and easy-to-use uPro™ features an unparalleled highly developed combination of GPS and laser-range capabilities, providing hi-resolution aerial photography and satellite imagery of thousands of courses worldwide.
The Basic Mode™ online download of one golf course, which previously cost registered users one credit, will now be FREE for all registered users. There are no limitations on how many courses registered users can download each year.
The bottom line? uPro™ users will get for FREE what competitors charge for.
“Other GPS devices in the marketplace charge for the equivalent of our Basic Mode™, and we’re providing our Basic Mode™ for FREE,” says uPlay President Joey Balardeta. “Our course database is also far more detailed than any other database in the market, so it’s a win-win situation for our customers.”
While Basic Mode™ course downloads are FREE for courses located anywherein theworld, the uPro’s™ ProMode™ course downloads are priced based on buying a package ofcourses. The typical uPro™ customer buys a package of 50 courses, which translatesinto anaverage per-course cost of $2.40. Users receive free updates to allcoursedata for the life of the product. After purchasing a course package, coursecredits remain in the uPro™ user’s account for use at anytime in thefuture.
The Basic Mode™ is a subset of the data contained within the ProMode™ coursedata. A Basic Mode™ download gives users the basic functionality of the uPro™-Green View and Hazard View. Basic Mode™ is what is found in any other GPS device on the market, butwith muchmore-detailed data. uPro™ maps every feature on every hole and includesthousandsof points per hole to enable the most accurate mapping of each andeveryfeature on the course. In general, uPro’s™ competitors map only asubset of thefeatures, with far fewer points per feature. Unlike other golf GPS products, all courses in the uPro database are professionally mapped by uPlay trained professionals.
There are no yearly membership fees for uPro™, while annual fees for uPro’scompetitors range from $29.95 per year to $59.95 per year. If these fees arenot paid atthe start of the year, previously downloaded courses are disabledso the device will no longer work.
The uPro’s™ ProMode™ download, for a minimal cost of ownership, adds video flyovers and aerial imagery to the detailed data contained within Basic Mode™, allowing the user to actually see the course and measure to AnyPoint™ on the course, unlike other golf GPS devices.
