Software for skycaddie sg2

They are probably updating their whole website. That can take awhile, depending on what they are trying to do esp. I'll chalk it up to cloudy, overcast skys, but it should be noted that the Neo and the GolfGuru had no trouble getting signal in the same enviornment.

What I'm not fine with is the subscription fee. And ever. For nothing new. They aren't adding more golf courses where I live, so I can't just download the ones I need. Instead, I pay for them over and over and over again. I still may end up keeping it, I just haven't gotten used to the idea just yet.

I think with the Neo, the Sonnocaddie, and other products, you can keep the courses you use, and don't have to pay forever.

Am I reading this right? Yes, you can keep the 10 you have in the unit, and they should continue to work even after your subscription is up. Unfortunately, I play around 20 courses regularly. To those who already have the 2. BTW - I could be wrong but I seem to remember that when my subscription ran out on my SG2 the unit stopped working for the downloaded courses.

It may be date-based within the device itself? I would like clarification from SG2. Is this true? If so then that would be no consideration from me. If this had the user mapping of targets hopefully at least 6 or more and editing of downloaded courses then it looks like a great product.

If you buy a SkyCaddie, you are committing to paying for service for as long as you use the unit in my opinion. It just is what it is, and it won't change until a real competitor comes out and knocks them off being the 1 GPS unit.

I hope that day comes soon! They don't want the unit to be useful without the subscription cost. As far as I can tell, there is no way to add a custom point even to a map you download. Steve, the problem I have with them not allowing user mapped targets is that I am sure along with myself other users have targets they would want mapped that are not included by the professional mapping.

If they had this feature with the SG2. Something else that would be so usefull would be the ability for these devices to capture information about the club played and distance. Then have the ability to uplaod that to a program that inserts this information to a database so that you can review it later, create reports, ect Doesn't seem like a lot of information to record from a memory standpoint.

I would love to develop something for this. I think that the SureShot does this to some extent but I don't know what. At least with a database of information you could see how you hit your clubs on different courses possibly altitude changes that effect distance , or overall, with a graph of all shots hit with each club.

Might be a good tool to help people recognize where they need to improve. Anyway, I really like the SG2. SG wants to charge you for everything, and I don't see why the 2. However, the four-star courses have a ton of points mapped, and I can see easily being able to use these points without ever needing to add my own.

It looks like SG was very thorough in the mapping process. Like you mentioned, the SureShot product does this--scores, clubs, stats, etc It's a pretty nice unit, and I've used one extensively. Very interesting thing I just found out today. I went to download the software from their website. Even though the SG2. Why not just put "SG2. Sneaky bastards. I read through the manual for the SG5, and it my conclusion that they are the same product with different screens.

I'm playing my first round with the SG2. Well, I personally would like the ability to add user mapped targets, but I understand that the SkyCaddie does have a lot of 4-star mapped courses with multiple targets on those that are all professionally mapped. What I would like to see from their website is the data points mapped on each course.

Currently you need to own the device and have a membership in order to download, and of course you can only see those mapped points on the device.

For me at least if they displayed on their website the data points mapped as it would appear on the SkyCaddie that would be a big plus for them to sell the unit. Then people would be able to see the depth of what they are getting. If they have everything that you need already mapped then that SG2. Without being able to see what you get is still detracting me from spending a few hundred bucks plus membership to find out it the courses have enough points mapped.

I think I will send them an email and ask about that, but based on shat I have hear about their customer service chances are that I won't get a response.

I keep track of the other stuff on my scorecard and I then transfer it to a database where the I can generate reports and add notes and really do some serious data mining. I definitely dont want to Sky Caddie to handle it. Just give me the yardage and targets. If you keep it simple there is little to screw up. I dont think the sky caddie will be able to support recording the lies,clubs used, penalties , putts, sand saves, etc. Hmmmm I may look into developing something for my BlackBerry.

Very interesting My Skycaddie annual subscription ended Friday and indeed, in the middle of my round today all downloaded courses ceased to appear and the only ones left were the ones I mapped myself. I am pissed! I emailed them and told them that while I intended to renew in the next couple of days since I have no choice if I want to continue to use it that I was very disappointed in their customer service. The real b1tch of the deal was that I was notified last week that I needed to take a new download that I can guarantee is what they designed to remove the courses on the subscription ending date.

Last year when it ran out it still worked with downloaded courses, just couldn't add additional ones. That's a BS way to do business and the other guys in my foursome today were not impressed when it quit after 4 holes. I'm not likely to be doing any commercials for them soon. I emailed them and told them that while I intended to renew in the next couple of days since I have no choice if I want to continue to use it that I found was very disappointed in their customer service.

The reall b1tch of the deal was that I was notified last week that I needed to take a new download that I can guarantee is what they designed to remove the courses on the subscription ending date. The SG2 is smaller and easier to carry than the SG3. The SG2, with its Intelligreen system, can improve your score because it shows definitive distances to the green from all angles.

This allows you to work on your shot. The electronic scorecard is handy, and accuracy is decent at around 2. The SG2 has a smaller screen than the SG3. The unit costs a little more than the SG2. The SG2 may be smaller, but it is not lighter. Click Next. After the driver is successfully installed, click Finish.
