So far, I have been pretty happy with each GPS app I’ve tried for various tasks; data logging when I bike or run, remembering where my car is, even logging my position when I twitter. So when a friend of mine called me up for a last second game of golf in the middle of December, which of course I said yes, I thought this would be good chance to try out a few apps I’ve downloaded for golfing. Boy, FAIL city, here I come.

First app I tried was GolfTraxx. When I first downloaded it, it looked like a good app. You type in you zipcode, a set of courses show up, and then you hit start. Great! I’m on the first tee, and this is what I see.
