Review on Sky Golf SkyCaddie SX500 GPS by James Naylor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best GPS on the market, but don't buy a poorly designed holster.

Pro: Gives you important information about stacking and approaching shots. Very easy to use, the battery easily lasts 2 rounds or more. Synchronization with a computer is also very easy. Some may be put off by a $60/year subscription (free for the first year). I play once a week, sometimes more, so it comes down to $1 a game, which is nothing compared to paying for a t-shirt. Skysoft is awful, poorly designed and broken on first use. The button on the holster for plugging into the clip does not withstand any pressure. I have to pay for return shipping to Sky Soft. Don't buy an upgrade after a few months. The caddy lost track at times and I had to reset it, it would continue but still annoying and delaying the game. Not sure why driving on a bumpy track seems to be causing this. The firmware update fixed the trace loss issue. No more resetting while playing. I'm renewing my membership and picking just one state and it's half the price of $29. I play once or twice a week and it's about 40 cents a game. I wonder why people don't like the idea of an annual subscription when it's a tiny fraction of the cost of playing time.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Everything OK
