You won't get your hands on one of these until April 2010, but SkyCaddie has released some minutia about the features of its newest golf GPS rangefinder, the SkyCaddie SGX, a apparatus that SkyGolf claims is revolutionary and will usher in the "next lifetime" of rangefinders.

At first glimpse (judging only from the couple of teasing screenshots on its major website), it seems that SkyGolf has mimicked the gaze, seem, and functionality of touchscreen golf GPS apparatus like On Par, or Smartphone/iPhone apps like the very well liked GolfShot. It has full colored charts of the whole hole, for instance, and it can work out the distance to any point on the course. It will have the backing of SkyGolf's superior "on the ground" mapping method and Sky Golfs True Point Precision Positioning expertise for unparalleled GPS acquisition and correctness. But will it be really "revolutionary"?

computer display

There is nothing especially revolutionary about its 3" transflective LCD computer display that is visible in the brightest sunlight (although it is certainly an enhancement on the 2.2 inch screen on the SG5).

HoleVue

HoleVue, which exhibitions a vivid color image of the aperture and allows you to effortlessly determine the distance to any location the course, is accessible on its earlier forms. With HoleVue Zoom you can zoom in close to any locality for a better view. afresh, nothing revolutionary here: numerous golf GPS apparatus or Smartphone apps offer the identical likeness and zoom choices.

IntelliGreen

It will come equipped with Sky Caddies patented IntelliGreen expertise that gives the accurate summarize of the green and rotates so that it is habitually aligned to the main heading of the close to golfer. While other golf GPS apparatus have expertise alike to IntelliGreen, no one of them has any thing like IntelliGreen Pro, which shows the genuine contours of the green with untrue fronts clearly marked. Satellite imagery is simply not good enough to provide such minutia on the green; only Sky Caddie has done the ground mapping necessary to unquestionably assess the contours on the greens.

Statistical investigation
A digital scorecard and stat following choice to pathway key game statistics would appear to be mandatory on a golf GPS device these days, and the SGX has them. You can track fairways strike, greens in guideline, driving correctness and expanse, and total putts.

SGX Smart Club

Smart Club expertise might just be revolutionary though, and could be characterising characteristic of the SGX. You will be adept to location SmartClub Tags on the butt end of your club grabs and SkyCaddie will broadcast exactly with your associations. After each shot, SkyCaddie will mechanically pathway the club utilised, the exact position of the shot, and the distance the shot traveled. Wow! That will eliminate the hassle of manually assessing and going into shot facts and figures. SmartClub will even remind you if you leave a association behind on the course.
