The much anticipated SkyCaddie SGX is finally here much to the chagrin of their competition! The SkyCaddie SGX is the next generation of rangefinders, with advanced features, accuracy, and reliability second-to-none. Released March 15, 2010, it is one of the most anticipated golfing-specific GPS units to date. According to SkyGolf CEO Richard Edmonson, the SkyCaddie SGX is “a platform that can extend the game beyond the 18th green”. The unit comes standard with a large 3″ easy-to-read transflective LCD screen that provides brilliant color images even in the brightest sunlight.
The new SkyCaddie SGX boasts a dual navigation system that provides easy one-handed operation and precise positioning without blocking vital information.Many times units like these, in their quest for ultra-portability, sacrifice usability due to their decreased sized.It often seems as though mobile units, especially GPS units, are designed for munchkins with tiny fingers.This isn’t a problem with the SkyCaddie, however, as it can be used with large (and even gloved) fingers.
According to SkyGolf CEO Richard Edmonson, the goal of the SkyCaddie SGX is to “help golfers play smarter, play better, play faster, and have more fun.” The new SkyCaddie SGX undeniably lives up to this billing. Its high-performance GPS engine includes new proprietary TruePoint Precision Positioning Technology providing fast, precise, and dependable satellite acquisition.The SGX sports a new high-performance multi-directional GPS antenna that quickly and easily locks onto satellites. The SkyCaddie SGX locks-on and stays locked to optimize performance and accuracy in all terrains, even under trees.
SkyCaddie owners receive unrestricted access to complete ground-verified course maps via annual memberships.The SkyCaddie SGX is ready to use straight from the box with over 30,000 pre-loaded courses with basic green information.The SkyCaddie can holdup to 50 full-featured courses at one time with room to grow. It even includes patented, interactive HoleVue technology with Zoom capability, a first-of-its-kind technological breakthrough containing a ground-corrected graphics library of course maps in high definition, full-color detail.
HoleVue technology lets the golfer know the distance to any point on a hole, allowing him or her to plan the best strategy to play the hole with the least amount of strokes.The HoleVue Zoom feature gives golfers up-close views of landing areas, allowing him or her to manage the next shot.SkyGolf is the only company that ground verifies their course maps with government grade survey equipment so you can rest assured the HoleVue graphics are extremely accurate.
The SkyCaddie SGX also includes patented IntelliGreen technology showcasing the exact shape of the green by automatically rotating the green to match a golfer’s angle of approach.IntelliGreen provides all yardages needed to hit more greens and avoid lengthy putts.An optional IntelliGreen Pro feature provides golfers with the added ability to obtain distances to major green contours, false fronts, and any other point on the green.SkyCaddie has a leg up on their competition here because none of these measurements can be obtain through satellite imagery.
With the SGX Golf GPS, golfers can automatically sync their scores and stats to SkyGolf’s newly created and quickly evolving online community, Club SG for comprehensive game tracking and analysis. This new, ground-breaking golf portal allows SGX owners to synchronize and accumulate their game data in an online personal performance locker and, in-turn, track key statistics, learn about courses, find a golf instructor, learn if their equipment is helping or hindering their game, and connect with other players.
Yes the SkyCaddie SGX is one impressive GPS, but there’s more, introducing SmartClub Technology!SmartClub Technology allows your SGX to communicate with each club in your bag via wireless link.Whenever you remove a club from your bag a link is established between your SGX and the club via a tiny SmartClub tag that is attached to butt end of the grip.This ground-breaking feature will give you an alert when the club is not replaced upon leaving the hole, never lose club again!Along with the alert it tracks statistics such as the distance of each shot with each club, and provides you with the option of which club you should use.These post-game analytics can easily be shared with friends, instructors, and golf fitters alike.
