Golf GPS interfering with location GPS?

Hey all,
I have a question I don't see answered on these boards:

My H has a GPS he keeps in his golf bag. It measures how far his ball is from the hole. Supposedly, it helps him choose his club.

I was planning to hide a GPS in the bag to track him, but I don't know if the one he is already using will interfere with mine.

Anybody know about that?

Thanks!

I am not sure. What kind will you use? I would call the manufacturer and ask them.

Modern GPS devices are passive receivers and detect signals from the suite of GPS satellites circling the globe. They do not emit any type of signal that would cause interference between devices.

More problematic is the reliability of a device buried deep in a golf bag, where thick material, metal clubs, and other items can block the receiving antenna.

In addition, if your husband is like most golfers, he knows exactly what�s in his bag, where it is, and routinely moves items around. Your GPS device could be detected very quickly.

As ML suggested, you should post the information about the device you�re considering. We can aid in determining its suitability.

Thank you. I guess I'll need to depend on his phone for tracking during golf.
