While Callaway has been helping you navigate the golf course for awhile, all its imagery has been abstract; that’s not much help if it turns out a patch marked “rough” on one hole is really shorthand for “crocodile-infested swamp.” To that end, Callaway is launching the upro mx+, an upgraded version of its GPS tracker that uses real overhead photography to give a more realistic impression of the green, as well as to hint whether or not there’s any chance you’ll get your ball back if you mess up. Along with the static images, there’s video flyovers to get a feel for the land at a perspective closer to your own. The updated touchscreen device also touts yardage calculation and an upgraded uexplore service for checking out scores and golf courses.

We’re afraid we’ve got some bad news. Transformer Prime users outside of America and Taiwan won’t receive a GPS dongle to address their tablet’s lackluster mapping performance . The company confirmed on its Italian Facebook page that while it was advertised in the US and Taiwan as having “Full GPS,” once issues were found, the European advertising was changed to read “GPS Locator” — in short: it’s not its problem, go away.
