OnPar is the first GPS touchscreen introduced to the gold market. We took a fresh look at the GPs rangefinders and how technoogy could intuitively create a more accurate and user-friendly device. The device needed to incorporate traditional golf information and unrivaled useful features that actually helped the golfer manage and improve their game. All of this information needed to be easily accessible with a single touch of the screen on an ideal sized display that was easy to read. OnPar, was built on these principles and created to help golfers with distance information and the ability to track and suggest personalized club strategies. The first OnPar Touchscreen GPS was launched to the golf community at the 2009 PGA Merchandise Show with resounding success. In using the most advanced technology, this next generation GPS product has been described as Your own Personal Caddie. It allows you to View each golf hole; Track every shot; and Know your game better. Hand Held GPS Products have evolved, so will your game. Savant GPS, LLC, is a Houston based Golf Technology Company. It designed, built, manufacturered, and distributes the Next Generation golf GPS, OnPar. OnPar is a registered trademark of Savant GPS, LLC. more info

About time for new technology in range finders…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
If you like to have state of the art toys, this range finder is it. not really fair to just call it a “range finder” though, b/c these gps untis are so much more these days. I like how it has the touch and drag function like my iPhone- to use for actual pin placements.
Easy to see in the sunlight b/c its bright. I really like the GIR tracking. I expected to have problems with the battery charging b/c the screen is bright, but I haven’t had the problem. I have a laser range finder as well, but it doesn’t come out of my bag anymore. It costs a few bucks, but it’s taken more strokes off my round than my new R9 driver…
Has the best features, assuming your course is mapped
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Make sure you check the courses that are mapped on the OnPar website before you buy this item. You can check on the OnPar website before you buy to see if your course is mapped or you have to request that it is mapped, which can take some time……in my case 2 mos. I would go to three stars for mapped courses, although the touch screen causes it to go into futility loops and crashes if you keep it in your pocket.
Best on market
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The OnPar GPS unit is by far the best product on the market. It is like an Apple I phone meets a golf GPS unit. Graphics are clear and crisp and stats are great to judge you game by. When I bought mine there were plenty of courses mapped and ones I requested came in about 2 weeks later so it looks like they have solved the lack of maps issue. I would not own any other unit that the OnPar.
let the buyer beware!!!

this is the most deceptive company and product i have ever seen. not one of my favorite courses were mapped. when i called the company they had the nerve to tell me to request the course i wanted and within a month it would be ready. i said i bought on-par so i could use it when it arrived not to have to wait 30 days. they told me sorry nothing we can do. not one of my local and favorite courses were available.so now i use sonocaddie.i bought on-par from amazon for almost six hundred and when i called them to put a caution on this product they told me to be patient because on-par was trying to map more courses. sorry not good enough.the summer will be over by then.all i can say is buyer beware.
Courses not available

OnPar Golf Touchscreen GPS
I purchased an ONPAR golf GPS a couple of months ago.
Since then, no courses in my area of Phoenix have been added yet. I continuelly request that my home courses be added, but to no avail. I receive only a computer generated response from ONPAR that my request has been received, but nothing happens.
Although the advertsing describes a state-of-the-art GPS, I can’t verify the claims. At this time my ONPAR gps is totally useless to me because no courses in my area are available.
I recommend that no-one buy this product until your favorate courses are available.
Im very disapointed in this product . 1)even with a full battery the unit turns its self off
2)when the unit turns it self off you lose the info
3)i can not seam to get them to load my courses
4)i guess the most of all is getting the correct distance
between the four guys that i play golf with we all
have eletronic rangefinders that are half the price
and within 3 to 4 yards from one to the other
but oh no not Mr. expensive he’s 20 plus yds
Not mac compatible yet
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Would love to get this but, how at this day and age do you not
make these devices Mac compatible from the start.
They said it will be available 2nd half of 09
by then i’ll own another company gps.
Golf season is now!
What a let down
Great GPS and Terrific Customer Support
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The biggest concern has been availability of courses. Fortunately, here in Scottsale/Phoenix the majority of the courses I play have already been mapped.
I did have some difficulty getting the synchro software to function (and not available for MAC) but the customer service was the best I have ever used for any electronic device company. Always a person on the end of the phone who walked me through the installation and registration process ( and it required about four phone calls for me to get it right)(why would a company choose reg numbers like VH0dkt1400Lmz2?). There is room for improvement beyond adding new courses; the fact that each time you update your course list you have to download ALL the courses again, rather than just adding the new courses. Same for deleting..this does take some computer time. Perhaps best value is the courses (up to 300) are free! This will probably force the other manufacturers to stop charging for a course download. Another suggestion I would make for improvement would be the inclusion of a stylus and stylus slot in the body for accurate screen touching. I use one from an old palm pilot.
