A clip-on GPS that reads out green yardage without aiming at a flag, for golfers who want quick numbers. It measures from stored course maps rather than a laser, so exact distance to a specific tree or bunker lip is outside its job.

Overview
A built-in BITE magnet lets the Phantom snap onto a golf cart frame, and the screen shows yardage to the near edge, middle and far edge of each green. Satellite positioning works out the distances from preloaded course maps, and the hole advances on its own as you walk.
Golfers who dislike fiddling with a laser get yardage at a glance, with no aiming and no steady hand needed. Moving the pin on GreenView adds precision on approach shots. The limit is that GPS knows the map, not the flag, so the numbers are only as good as the course data.
Who it's for
Weekend rounds on North American courses are where it earns its spot on the cart. Players who want slope readings or pinpoint laser numbers should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- No aiming, distances appear automatically
- Magnet mounts to a golf cart frame
- Hole advances on its own
- Movable pin on the green view
- GPS only, no laser distance to the flag
- Spec sheet lists both touch and buttons
- Slope function not listed
- Distances depend on course map accuracy
Performance notes
Distance accuracy comes from the satellite fix and the stored course map, so open sky and current course data decide how close the numbers land. The magnet hold depends on a steel surface on the cart. Battery life governs how many rounds fit between charges.
