 Works Perfectly July 26, 2008

I read a lot of reviews and had some concerns but went ahead and bought the SG-5 anyway. I link to my Mac and it works flawlessly. Many of my regular playing partners are using laser range finders but I think that this unit is easier to use - you just glance at it - and helps speed of play. I am careful about protecting my stuff so I just bought a LowePro digital camera case (REZO 50) and the SG5 just squeezes into it. Lowepro Rezo 50 Camera Bag
I recommend this without reservation.
Very happy with purchase July 9, 2008
Setup was quick, accurate, large database, intuitive interface, belt clip works very well. Cannot really fault this unit so far, admittedly only used it twice, have not asked for a course to be mapped so not sure how long it takes. I also have a sureshot and this is a far superior product. I am happy with the purchase, though a word to the wise, I bought on ebay for $100 less than on Amazon.
Not sure why the people were giving one star to this.

My SG5 works as advertised- set-up went smoothly, course availability is excellent. This unit replaced the SG4 I accidentally destroyed, but links up faster and gives an accurate reading quicker than the SG4. Yardages are fast and accurate. On customer service- they ARE terrible. Don't expect them to walk you through set up if you have problems. Go to one of the skycaddie forums online if you need assistance. If you must deal with customer service- send an email through the skycaddie desktop (though chances are they will just ask you to return your unit).

I am not sure what is causing the problems of the previous two reviewers but my SG5 works great as advertised. Syncing up was no issue and I had 10 courses in the unit in a matter of 30 minutes. Accuracy on the course seems to be very good and I haven't found a course that isn't in their database. There may be better GPS units available but the course database is the key in my decision to purchase a Skycaddie. Hands down, they have the largest database for the U.S. and Canada which is my primary interest.
I am sure that the next generation of Golf GPS's will have pictures of each hole with all of the same courses as in the database today. But, until then, this is a very good unit.

The SkyCaddie SG5 can't be detected by Windows. Try to contact customer support, and you'll get so angry you end up throwing it out the window. They offer two solutions. One is to return it, the other is to send it in so they can "fix" it. I bought this thing last week, so I kind of doubt that it needs repairs. Save your money and buy a laser rangefinder, or a competitor's GPS that actually works. Anything from SkyGolf just isn't worth the cash or the frustration when you take it home and realize you have a broken walkie-talkie in your hands.
