How to make this decision
Garmin Approach R50 vs FlightScope Mevo+. should be decided by fit and ownership, not by counting features. Start with the constraint that cannot be changed, then compare the complete cost and the compromises you will notice in normal use.
1. Check fit first
Confirm whether the tracking position works in the measured room.
2. Compare ownership
Price the compatible device, computer, software and subscriptions—not only the hardware.
3. Choose the useful compromise
Decide whether indoor permanence or outdoor portability matters more.
