SkyCaddie SG4 Golf GPS Review

SkyCaddie's SG4 seems to be quite a popular choice with many golfers today with a lot of useful features that promise to help improve your game.

The GPS comes in a small compact case which looks strong and robust. This was also confirmed while researching this Sky Caddie SG4 GPS review as we found a number of actual users had dropped their SkyCaddies with no detrimental effects.

Don't think that because it is such a small unit that it will be difficult to read as there is a large screen which shows you all the important information you need displayed in a simple to read manner. The display is grey scale this proves to give a clear and crisp display in all lighting conditions - almost all other GPS units on the market have color screens, so be aware of this limitation.

The interface is intuitive and with it's simple to use one touch controls make for a well thought out and designed golf GPS system.

As with some of the other SkyCaddie offerings this unit uses the patented Intelligreen software which is able to show you the depth and shape of the green distances from any angle of approach.

Another notable feature of the SkyCaddie is their human mapped data system, which means that they have certified individuals walk every hole and map every hazard and green, which is checked three times to ensure its accuracy. This they claim makes their data more accurate than their competitor's information which is transcribed via global positioning satellites.

The SG4 as with some of the other SkyCaddie units has an expansion slot for storing more map data while you are out on the fairways or traveling on courses away from home.

Although the unit as you can see has many features which you might think would affect the battery life this is definitely not the case. SkyCaddie decided to fit a lithium-rechargeable battery which gives the unit a potential 12 hour charge life.

While researching this Sky Caddie SG4 golf GPS review we found some customers who had bought the unit and had issues with customer support and struggled installing and setting up the software on both the home computer and the unit itself. Most of the software issues seem to be with the Windows Vista operating system.

Sky Caddie SG4 Review Summary

Compared to some of its competitors the Sky Caddie SG4 GPS is lacking on features, especially a color screen. If you value the Intellisense system and the fact that all the data is mapped by humans rather than computers then it could be a golf GPS system worth considering.
