I decided not to renew my iGolf (now Bushnell) NEO subscription. Thought it'd be $19.99 for the year but it's actually $39.99. $40 ain't that much, but I hate that it doesn't work with my Mac, forcing me to go into work to download and sync courses. Plus I wanted a more feature rich GPS. The Callaway uPro seemed ideal. Mac compatible, aerial photography, flyover videos...Not a big benefit at the local muni, but I imagine at new courses or courses with lots of trouble the satellite images and flyover videos would come in really handy.
Unfortunately, it did not work with my Mac (I'm running 10.5.8). The uPro would say it's connected to the host but the USB drive (that's what the uPro basically is) doesn't mount. I did get it to work with my Windows PC, but then it crashed after trying to sync about 10 courses. PITA so I returned it. But here's the email I just got from uPro support about the Mac issue in case anybody out there is having some problems. Good luck, the uPro looks awesome, just wished it wasn't so buggy.
Here are some instructions on formatting your device and restoring the files to your microSD card.
1. On the uPro, navigate to Format microSD in the Device Settings menu
2. At the warning screen, hold the left arrow button for 5 seconds
3. After the screen changes warning information, arrow to the left and select YES (highlighted selection will be lighter gray)
4. Screen will show “Please Wait! Format In Progress…” for a few moments, then return to Device Settings
5. Press the menu button twice to return to the main menu
6. Connect your uPro to your MAC
7. Open the uPro drive by double clicking it and verify it contains two folders: “course_data” and “system”
8. Click on

9. Click on Download and Save to your MAC (preferably the desktop)
10. Open the Disk Image that has downloaded to your MAC
11. Double click the restore file
12. Click “Open” then click “Start”
This will complete after approximately 10-15 minutes. Once complete, open the uPro drive on your desktop by double clicking it and double click the MacSync icon to synchronize the uPro to your MAC.
