I have a new phone contract coming up and was just thinking if I could get a phone with in built GPS that I could get Golfing GPS software for.

 Does anyone have golf GPS software for their mobile phone and is it any good ?

Not sure if  a built-in phone GPS receiver would be as accuate as a dedicated golf GPS?  I have a Nokia 95 8G and the best accuracy its GPS has ever reported  is 10 meters.  Most of the time its worse than that. 

A good external bluetooth GPS for your phone may be a better bet if you don't want to invest in a dedicated golf GPS

Bugger,

The N95 is what I was thinking of. Oh well that is that bright idea shot through.

Pengwyn, I wouldn't rule out the N95 although Herbie is right the accuracy is only about 10 metres, you can buy a good bluetooth GPS for about £20. You will need a good phone to run the software on therefore the N95 is your friend.

Currently the battery life would be a problem to play a full round of golf using the GPS on any of the GPS enabled phones, I don't think you would be able to complete a full round. Once again if you went for the bluetooth option this would not be so much of an issue.

Unfortunately I cannot vouch for any of the software available as I have not tried any of it, although this is one option I am considering for GPS golf as I already have the N95
