 Connections problems June 13, 2008
Twice in the last six months, the software in the device has malfunctioned and I've had to send it back to SkyCaddie. They are good at fixing it, but it takes about three weeks out of the golf season. For this price, the device should not malfunction.
There are a lot of GPS choices. I wouldn't buy a SkyCaddie again.
 Great ... When it works June 11, 2008
Be warned that many units have problems with suddenly hanging up requiring the user to disconnect/reconnect the battery to reset. Even though it's a problem with their unit, they ask for you to pay to ship to them, they keep it for 10-14 business days, then they send it back ground. I've been without my unit for a month now and have to pay for expedited shipping so that I get get it before I go on vacation.
Other than that, it's great.
SG4 April 28, 2008
Listen to the negative reviews, they are all right on. My second unit this year still works with resets once or twice each round. They just won't hold a signal even on a clear day at 70*. Buy something else, I'm going to do so in 15 days when my overpriced subscription expires. Customer Service - you must be kidding!!!!
 Really Great GPS but not perfect.. January 22, 2008

I have owned my Skycaddie SG4 for 7 months now and it has really helped my game. I basically play one course in La Quinta and the sprinkler head yardage markers are hard to find and often missing. So when I got the SG4 it gave distances to the front, middle, and back of the green which is all I need. I also found on ebay a custom holder that fits the unit and clamps into the cupholder on my golf cart, so it is very visible and stable. I haven't had any real problems with the unit. Sometimes it takes a while to aquire and I don't have the patience to wait for the "ready" indicator. Generally, it take 10 minutes to aquire positions. Last week it would not aquire or hold any satellites so I could not use it. I saw on Sky Golf web site how to reset the GPS and that seemed to work find after the reset as I got 4 bars and good range indications. The unit seems rugged and the screen is easy to view, much larger than the SG2. I like the ability to mark the beginning and end of a drive. Battery life seems good and I get two rounds on one charge, although it is good to charge it between rounds just in case. In general the yardages shown on the Sky Caddie are in close agreement with the course markings.
My one complaint is the charge-plug/USB adapter. It requires you to screw in a small pin header onto a mating socket on the back. I assume it was selected for water-resistance but it is very clumsy to align and tighten. I am always afraid of cross threading and ruining the connector.
Overall, I think that this is a great product with some areas that can be improved.

I got this for my birthday in July and it already has a problem, I cannot download! My computer cannot find it on the USB bus. I have ordered a new cable.....I hope that is all that is wrong.
The unit works good and the battery life is acceptable but the download program needs a lot of work!
$300.00 and a 3 month warranty? I would recommend a Garmin!
