Highlights of the SkyCaddie SGXw:Dynamic RangeVue
Designed for smarter and easier club selections, RangeVue's preset yardage arcs adjust dynamically over fairway landing areas and greens to allow golfers to select the best club for every shot much more quickly. RangeVue provides more information, faster and more reliably than any laser rangefinder without aiming or requiring line of sight.
PinPoint Technology with IntelliGreen
Makes lasers obsolete. No more aiming and missing with lasers trying to get hole positions. PinPoint Technology allows golfers to measure to the hole by adding pin positions. Combined with SkyCaddie's patented IntelliGreen® feature, golfers have yardages they need to the front carry, back, center and hole location, automatically from any line of approach. PinPoint eliminates the need for line of sight and the frustration golfers have with aiming and keeping a laser steady. The powerful combination of PinPoint and Intelligreen will help golfers avoid greenside bunkers, hit more greens and have more puts for birdie even if they don't have line of sight. (Available January 2012)
New Wireless Convenience Makes Preloads Obsolete
Preloaded courses are out of date before the device is sold and can be risky and unreliable. The SkyCaddie SGXw connects wirelessly to SkyGolf's vast library of precision courses via Wi-Fi at home, the office, the golf course or hotspot for fast, easy course downloads of the same complete and reliable course information. For wireless access on the go, most cell phone carriers now offer wireless tethering to access the smartphone's Internet access as a personal hotspot.
