We've reviewed some excellent handheld GPS devices to far this year. While it's still a smaller category compared to the size of the GPS watch or laser rangefinder market, the likes of the Blue Tees Ringer and SkyCaddie Pro 5X have proven the handheld market still has a lot to offer golfers. Another offering in this part of the market is the new Bushnell Phantom 3 Slope, the third generation handheld device from a brand more famed for its rangefinders.
While the move from the original Phantom to Phantom 2 saw the addition of sloped distances for the first time, Phantom 2 to Phantom 3 sees the addition of an all-new touchscreen. It has made the device much easier to use than before - where you had to use the side buttons - and scrolling between the various screens when in play is easier than ever before. For sure, the screen isn't as premium as something, but it reacts quickly to any commands. The new touchscreen is especially useful for the Greenview feature, which gives you an accurate shape of the green ahead, which angle you're attacking the green from and the ability to place the pin for a more precise yardage.
