Bushnell Wingman HD GPS Speaker Review
Your Golfing Wingman Now Has A Big Screen And Big Sound
It seems like every golf cart on the course now has a speaker attached to it so golfers can listen to their tunes.
Personally, I think it is still a debatable accessory, but it seems like most golfers won’t play 18 holes without it.
The other accessory that most golfers have is some form of a distance device, laser or GPS.
Sometimes you see the “arm” of the power cart filled with accessories.
The Bushnell Wingman HD GPS Speaker is the 3rd edition of the Wingman family and it combines your golf speaker and your GPS distance.
This time it does it with a big touchscreen for distances, hazards and scoring.
The speaker remains powerful and clear for big sound on the golf course.
This combination of display, distance and sound is their best yet.
This is my definitive Bushnell Wingman HD GPS Speaker Review.
Big Touchscreen Display
The big change from the first 2 versions of the Bushnell Wingman is the addition of the HD touchscreen.
This 3.5″ display is the size of most cell-phone screens and functions in a similar way.
It can seen easily in bright sunlight and displays all the important information.
It has the time, the current hole, the front, middle, back yardage, the hole layout and your current score.
If you want more information to specific bunkers or the score card or the green view you can swipe the screen to access the other details.

Big Sound
The Bushnell Wingman HD GPS Speaker remains one of the best speakers you can listen to on the golf course.
While Bushnell might not be an audio company, they certainly partnered with the right people to make one of the fullest, clearest and loudest speakers you can listen to while playing 18 holes.
The 360* sound is outstanding from any angle.
The two modes: indoor and outdoor sound fill the space nicely depending on how far away you want to listen to your music.
The bass woofer on both the top and the bottom create a richness and fullness of sound not matched by many other Bluetooth speakers.
Easy to Set-Up and Use
Right out of the box this speaker quickly connects to the Bushnell app on your cellphone for both the GPS details as well as the music from your phone.
Once you get them paired together you are ready to hit the course.
The Bushnell Wingman HD GPS Speaker has a super powerful magnet on the bag which latches to the cart so that you have nothing to worry about for the entire round.
It is pretty much automatic since it auto-advances on the holes, you can quickly and easily input score if you want and the music just keeps playing from your favorite playlist.
You can even customize a button for the functions you want to use the most.
Fully Functional Wingman
The point of a wingmam is to help you “score”. The Bushnell Wingman HD GPS Speaker gives you accurate and detailed information in multiple ways.
You can get the audio distance, the visual numbers as well as the hole map to help you plan the best strategy for each hole.
It allows you to play quickly with accuracy.
While I love the Bushnell Pro X3 Laser, you can actually pair the link feature to it for even greater information while playing.
The only downside is that it isn’t a stand alone unit, you need to keep your phone nearby for the GPS and Bluetooth.
The combination of display and sound make this a useful on-course tool.
Summary
The Bushnell Wingman HD GPS Speaker is the best version of this product on the market.
The big touchscreen display, the big full sound, and the powerful magnet make this a fully functional GPS speaker for an enjoyable 18 holes.
The app is easy to use, plus the battery life will easily last 36 holes of GPS and music.
So get out and enjoy your round with the best wingman.
