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 is almost as though they are designed for people with tiny hands! However this certainly isn’t the case with the SGX as it is easy to operate even with your gloves on.
According to SkyGolf CEO Richard Edmonson, the goal of the Skycaddie SGX Golf GPS System is to “help golfers play smarter, play better, play faster, and have more fun.” Well, the SkyCaddie SGX most unquestionably lives up to these goals.
