Stand alone GPS unit has been around for a long time. SkyCaddie has many nice units but they require yearly subscription. To me G80 hits a sweet spot with its large enough touch screen, hole\green layout map and no subscription requirement. Apps that run on smartphones are still banned in most serious competitions so this is pretty much the next best thing.
Launch monitor is rather basic but numbers are quite good compare to more advanced models. It's more a bonus feature that is nice to have and available at fingertip. Just do not expect $15K Foresight or Flightscope accuracy.
I updated my G80 for the first time in quite a while a couple of months back, and I was absolutely amazed how many versions they have updated.

Are you referring to the sc300? I have one. Seems to catch most of the shots and the data seems pretty accurate. This garmin one looks to be a GPS with course info first and launch monitor second
R10 and Mevo+ measure spin rate on both X and Y axials, as well as horizontal launch direction to give 3D ball flight info.
Why does the r10 need a firmware upgrade. It works perfect
I have had these standalone units, the watch is more convenient I find.I have an older Garmin s42, it gives the frt middle back to the green plus hazards , graphics are crude but for a 20 handicapper its good enough.
