The just released SkyCaddie SGXw comes equipped with some new and innovative
features. These advanced features set the unit apart from other golf gps's on the market as well as the
SkyCaddie SGX. Of course with those features comes a higher price tag. Before spending that extra money
you will want to look at and compare the 2 devices to see which unit will give you the most bang for the
buck. You need to compare the extra features and cost with the value they will bring to your golf
game.

Let's briefly take a look at the new functionality
and see if they can benefit your game and make the whole process faster and more convenient. The biggest addition
is the WiFi wireless connection. You can connect through any WiFi hot spot, home and work network, that doesn't require a login. For example, last minute you are called to play a
round on a course that is not in your unit. No problem, just connect to a WiFi and download the course. If you are
playing one of your regular courses, it would be a good idea to check for updates from the club before you go out
for your round. SkyCaddie has improved the screen navigation with what they
call the Optical Trackpad. This advancement will allow for faster and more accurate yardages when maneuvering your
on screen positioning. This will also keep your fingers off the screen to prevent smudges and scratches. And yes,
it will work with your glove on. Lastly, a new display feature called Dynamic RangeVue. See our provided
screenshots which shows the display of the yardage arcs on the screen. At a glance you will be able to determine
your club while seeing the distances of your landing area. This will display distances for both the fairway and the
green. You will be able to increase your speed of play and enjoyment level.
So which one will it be. They are both exceptional golf gps's. You
need to look at where your game is now and where you want to take it in the future. Weigh the difference in
cost and go from there. Good Luck.
