Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for avid golfers, the full-featured SkyCaddie SG4 Golf GPS has a durable, water-resistant shell for playing in all conditions and is powered by a long-lasting rechargeable battery. It's also equipped with the patented IntelliGreen technology, enabling golfers to measure the full depth and shape of the green from any angle of approach, both on or off the fairway. Part of SkyCaddie's exclusive, professional 4-Star SkyCourses, IntelliGreen graphics provide an eagle's eye view of the green with an indicator representing a direct line-of-play from wherever you are on the course.

The SkyCaddie SG4 offers a high-performance GPS receiver with a satellite-based augmentation system for accuracy. Other features include a programmable memory module to store thousands of targets, auto-hole advance, large, grayscale LCD display, built-in atomic time, and up to 12 hours of continuous use from two AA batteries.

With an annual SkyPlayer Club Membership Plan (not included with purchase of device), you can easily download thousands of our professionally enabled SkyCourses. Three different levels of memberships are available, based on how many courses you want to store and play.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG4 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SkyCaddie, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our professionally recorded SkyCourses, provides more information than just the distance to the pin. Once the line of play is selected on the graphical green outline, it provides the minimum carry to get on the green, the maximum limit you have to the back of the green, plus you can adjust to obtain the third distance of the approximate flag location. All three distances are provided simultaneously from any direction as you approach the green. You can then frame your shot in a much larger target area and select the best club. You will hit more greens and have shorter putts than a single number can provide.

    1 out of 5 stars Connections problems   June 13, 2008
    Twice in the last six months, the software in the device has malfunctioned and I've had to send it back to SkyCaddie. They are good at fixing it, but it takes about three weeks out of the golf season. For this price, the device should not malfunction.

    There are a lot of GPS choices. I wouldn't buy a SkyCaddie again.



    2 out of 5 stars Great ... When it works   June 11, 2008
    Be warned that many units have problems with suddenly hanging up requiring the user to disconnect/reconnect the battery to reset. Even though it's a problem with their unit, they ask for you to pay to ship to them, they keep it for 10-14 business days, then they send it back ground. I've been without my unit for a month now and have to pay for expedited shipping so that I get get it before I go on vacation.

    Other than that, it's great.



    1 out of 5 stars SG4   April 28, 2008
    Listen to the negative reviews, they are all right on. My second unit this year still works with resets once or twice each round. They just won't hold a signal even on a clear day at 70*. Buy something else, I'm going to do so in 15 days when my overpriced subscription expires. Customer Service - you must be kidding!!!!


    4 out of 5 stars Really Great GPS but not perfect..   January 22, 2008
     1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    I have owned my Skycaddie SG4 for 7 months now and it has really helped my game. I basically play one course in La Quinta and the sprinkler head yardage markers are hard to find and often missing. So when I got the SG4 it gave distances to the front, middle, and back of the green which is all I need. I also found on ebay a custom holder that fits the unit and clamps into the cupholder on my golf cart, so it is very visible and stable. I haven't had any real problems with the unit. Sometimes it takes a while to aquire and I don't have the patience to wait for the "ready" indicator. Generally, it take 10 minutes to aquire positions. Last week it would not aquire or hold any satellites so I could not use it. I saw on Sky Golf web site how to reset the GPS and that seemed to work find after the reset as I got 4 bars and good range indications. The unit seems rugged and the screen is easy to view, much larger than the SG2. I like the ability to mark the beginning and end of a drive. Battery life seems good and I get two rounds on one charge, although it is good to charge it between rounds just in case. In general the yardages shown on the Sky Caddie are in close agreement with the course markings.

    My one complaint is the charge-plug/USB adapter. It requires you to screw in a small pin header onto a mating socket on the back. I assume it was selected for water-resistance but it is very clumsy to align and tighten. I am always afraid of cross threading and ruining the connector.
    Overall, I think that this is a great product with some areas that can be improved.

    I got this for my birthday in July and it already has a problem, I cannot download! My computer cannot find it on the USB bus. I have ordered a new cable.....I hope that is all that is wrong.
    The unit works good and the battery life is acceptable but the download program needs a lot of work!
    $300.00 and a 3 month warranty? I would recommend a Garmin!
