What to compare before you choose
| Decision factor | Home Tee Hero | GSPro |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware fit | Compatible Garmin launch monitor and supported app/device. | Confirm your Garmin model is currently supported by GSPro. |
| Courses | Garmin says 43,000+ 3D-rendered courses. | Community-created course ecosystem; course count is not directly comparable. |
| Computer | Designed around Garmin’s app/device workflow. | Windows 10/11 PC with dedicated graphics recommended. |

Do not compare course counts directly
Garmin’s 43,000+ mapped-course proposition and GSPro’s community-created courses are different types of library. Decide whether breadth and simplicity or a dedicated simulator experience matters more.
